Harsha Richhariya, who became famous from Prayagraj Mahakumbh 2025, said that it is appropriate to propagate religion when you have that much amount of money. He said that the ration seller from where monthly supplies come will give the loan but after that he will also say that it has been so many days, now give the money. From where will I give that money? His statement has come at a time when he has decided to leave the ‘path of religion’.
My character was questioned again and again – Richhariya
While talking to the media in Bhopal, Harsha Richhariya said, “I had left all my work and moved ahead on this path. In the end, I understood that I am not a sage, a sadhvi or a sannyasi, that I will take donations from people and do all my work with it. I realized in time that it is appropriate to propagate religion when you have that much amount… You people protest, you people do not support, you point fingers at my character again and again and then I Even if I get stuck in debt, it is better to do my work bit by bit so that we can live our own life.”
‘I was upset at the end’
Further, she said, “I will not take anyone’s name but there are some who are continuously trying these things. I believe that if I have any problem with a particular person, I will not support him. But repeatedly creating problems in that person’s life, deciding that he will do anything and will not let you move forward in life, this is a very wrong thinking. There are some saints who are continuously trying this thing that in the end I got upset.”

My efforts were being stopped again and again – Richhariya
Referring to the Kumbh, Harsha Richhariya said, “It would be wrong to say that I adopted Sanatan Dharma during the Kumbh. No person can adopt the religion until it accepts you. I consider myself a fortunate person who was born in this religion, so who am I to adopt the religion. I had talked about putting an end to the promotion of Sanatan that we had started from the Mahakumbh. That is because the efforts I have been making for the last one year. It was being stopped somewhere or the other. This protest has started from Kumbh and is not stopping till now.
