Maha Kumbh 2025: YouTuber Faces Fury of Mahakal Giri Baba; Here's What Happened

The most awaited Mahakumbh has again begun after 12 years on the Sangam banks in Prayagraj. Monday marks the first bathing day on the occasion of Paush Purnima, drawing lakhs of devotees to partake in the sacred dip. Concurrently, an assembly of sadhus and babas from far and wide has gathered on the ghats.

YouTuber Thrashed by Baba:

Hundreds of news channels and YouTubers are present to document the stories of these babas. Amidst this, a video featuring a baba is rapidly gaining traction on social media.

Here's What Happened: 

The viral video depicts Mahakal Giri Baba, also known as Hatha Yogi, beating a YouTuber with tongs for posing what he deemed to be frivolous questions. In the video, the YouTuber can be seen questioning the holy man, who reacts with aggression and proceeds to strike him with tongs.

The YouTuber approached Nakhoon Baba, who was meditating at the festival, and began asking questions. Initially, Baba responded calmly when asked, "Since when did you join the Sanyasi sect, Maharaj Ji?" He replied, "Since childhood." However, when the YouTuber repeated the question and followed up by asking, "Which bhajan of God do you people sing?" Baba's demeanor changed.

Netizens' Reactions:

The video is going viral on social media and netizens have mixed reactions. A user wrote, "Sahi kia kumbh me sant dhyan krne aate h or inki reelbazi khatam nhi ho rhi." Another commented, "Very good ! This is required some of the YouTubers, don't know the limit! Jai baba ki."
