Know about Abhinav Arora, the 9-Year-Old Viral for Crying in Front of Ganpati Bappa?
Abhinav Arora, a 9-year-old spiritual content creator from Delhi, gained attention for his emotional devotion to Lord Ganesha, moving millions on social media.
Abhinav Arora recently went viral after a video of him crying in front of a Ganpati idol circulated widely on platforms like Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook. In the video, the child, dressed in an orange kurta and sitting by a riverbank, is seen tearfully feeding laddoos to the Ganesha idol. As he pleaded, “Jaldi aana” (“Come back quickly”), his distress intensified when a priest arrived to take the idol for immersion.
The touching display of devotion resonated with millions, leading to an outpouring of praise for his spiritual depth. But this isn’t the first time Abhinav has gained attention.
Abhinav Arora, known for his spiritual content, has over 9.3 lakh followers on Instagram. He frequently posts videos and images celebrating Hindu festivals, reciting scriptures and meeting spiritual leaders. His dedication to spirituality has earned him the title of “India’s Youngest Spiritual Orator,” a recognition presented to him by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.
The son of entrepreneur, author, and TEDx speaker Tarun Raj Arora, Abhinav is affectionately referred to as “Bal Sant” by some of his followers. He identifies with Balram and views Lord Krishna as his younger brother.
Abhinav’s daily routine is highly spiritual, starting as early as 3:30 am. He begins his day with ‘mala jaap’ (reading the rosary), followed by home puja at 4 am. At 6:30 am, he performs Tulsi Puja Parikrama and offers “Bhog” to the Bal Gopal at his home.
Despite his spiritual lifestyle, Abhinav attends school in Delhi. He has previously mentioned that his peers initially found it strange when he greeted them with “Radhe Radhe” or “Jai Shree Krishna,” but his commitment to his beliefs remains unwavering.
