Video of Abhinav Arora as Lord Hanuman Singing "Seeta-Ram" Goes Viral

Abhinav Arora, an Indian whose videos related to Krishna bhakti have long been raging social media, recently created quite a storm online. Dressed in a Lord Hanuman outfit, this time in the recent clip, he dances and sings a devotional tune with the refrain: "Masti mein ab rehta hoon, Seeta-ram, Seeta-ram main kehta hoon."

The video was posted on the X (formerly Twitter) handle @iamnarendranath, and it instantly went viral. While some users are enjoying the creativity, many others are trolling Abhinav for his choice of content. The video also features Abhinav showcasing his devotional fervor with his energetic dance moves, while the song adds a spiritual vibe to the performance.

Abhinav's Journey from Krishna Bhakti to Hanuman Avtar
Formerly known for his Lord Krishna Bhakts and videos of their bhakti, the very same Abhinav Arora has now picked another form—Lord Hanuman. This transition made it trigger a wave of online responses as most criticized it with calling it a 'business of exploiting people's faith.' For some, it has simply been talent, others being cynical.

The Controversies Around Abhinav

Abhinav's videos that have garnered mass attention the past few months have also fueled controversy. His parents face criticism for letting him shoot such videos, and masses of netizens question the ethical involvement of a young child in viral content, especially religiously associated content. Recently, after a video of Abhinav present at a religious event by Ram Bhadracarya went viral, his family was caught in litigation with YouTubers criticizing the child.

Abhinav continues to grow in fame on social media despite the controversies surrounding him. His latest video elicited mixed reactions with some people praising his creativity, and others questioning the commercialization of spirituality.
