Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni took initiation with full custom in the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj and was made Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhara. He was given a pattabhishek by donating him, after which he was named Shri Yamai Mamta Nandagiri. However, there was a lot of control over it and he also resigned.
But his resignation was not approved. After all the debates, Mahamandaleshwar Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi of Kinnar Akhara has spoken openly on this whole matter. Keeping her opinion, Lakshmi told in a podcast that Mamta has been taking initiation by following Sanatan Dharma for years. He is still the Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhara. According to Lakshmi, this thing was unnecessarily turned and said that if she had left to become a sadhvi, what would those who were doing controversy?
Lakshmi explained the whole thing
Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi said that she is Shri Yamai Mamta Nandagiri. When she had been sitting apart from the mainstream society for 23 years, she was in my touch for two and a half years. She was telling all her traditions. She was also initiated by the lord of Juna Akhara. When she came to Kumbh, we had a conversation, the second day was Friday, then she said that what would be a better day that one Ardhanarishwar should do my pattabhishek and I should become Mahamandaleshwar. I completely dedicate myself to the works of Sanatan Dharma. So his idea was good, we did it.
Lakshmi clarified the criteria of becoming Mahamandaleshwar and said that she was already a seeker. Has done so much studies, all have done chants. Mamta Kulkarni’s clarification on the relationship with Abu Salem and the rest of the controversy also said that ‘We knew all the things. But all his cases are over. His name was cleared. All red corners had gone out. So why should we despise the one who came to take refuge in Sanatan Dharma. If this Mamta ji would go and accept Islam and would have come to Haj-Madina, then what could they do as much as they were opposing Sanatani.
Defamation claim
Lakshmi further told that we had already made sage Ajay Das bye-bye. Because of his misdeeds, we had already shown him the way out. We have also claimed defamation on those who are the so -called Jagatguru. Mamta had come in such a pressure that our guru had so much trouble because of me, so she resigned, but we did not take it. Mamta is very solved and a good person.
Significantly, Mamta had adopted the path of spirituality since 1996, and started on the path of devotion. She claims that she has been living the life of Sadhvi for 12 years.
