LV Gangadhara Sastry, the renowned singer and spiritual leader known for his Bhagavad Gita movement, recently voiced strong criticism against filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli over the director’s past remarks about Hindu deities. Rajamouli had reportedly described Lord Rama as “boring” and suggested that Lord Krishna had “many girlfriends,” comments that have been circulating widely online.
Responding sharply, Sastry said, “People speak about Lord Rama and Lord Krishna according to their level of understanding. Before commenting, one must learn. If we die, who remembers us? Then how is Lord Rama remembered even after millions of years if he was truly boring? Such irresponsible statements should never be made. Rajamouli should not have spoken when he clearly knows nothing about them.”
He also contrasted Rajamouli with the filmmaker’s father, Vijayendra Prasad, noting, “Vijayendra Prasad spoke about Lord Hanuman because he has actually read the scriptures.”
Sastry issued a stern warning regarding any commercial exploitation of Lord Rama in films without genuine belief, stating in Telugu, “Maamoolugaa raalavu dantaalu,” meaning “your teeth won’t remain as they are,” implying that there will be consequences.
His remarks have reignited debate over Rajamouli’s interpretations of Hindu deities and the responsibility of influential filmmakers when discussing religious icons.
