BJP Govt to take over Dhirendra Brahmachari’s ashram, a look at Indira-era ‘Rasputin’ & his clout

Описание: 'Official Yogi of India' in the Indira-Sanjay Gandhi era, Dhirendra Brahmachari built sprawling ashrams from Delhi to Mantalai, and the Haryana govt has passed a Bill to take over his Aparna Ashram in Gurgaon. In Episode 1630 of #CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta discusses Dhirendra among India's other influential gurus, their extra-constitutional powers in the backdrop of the nexus between political & spiritual leaders, and the 'divine fate' of these 'holy men'.
