Motivational Speaker Maha Vishnu Booked Over 'Rebirth Remarks' At Chennai School

Chennai: A motivational-spiritual speaker Mahavishnu was booked under sections of BNS and The Rights of Persons with Disability Act, 2016  based on a complaint against him. The development has come in the wake of the row over a school conducting 'Spiritual Awakening Classes' in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

During his speech at a school in Chennai, Maha Vishnu said, “Gurukulams were systematically destroyed by the British. Just reading a mantra can cause fire rain, heal one's body, can make you fly, but all these secrets which were written on palm leaves were lost due to British rule.”

“If God was kind, everyone should be born equal. One is born rich while the other is born poor. One is born a criminal while the other is born a hero. Why such differences? What you did in your last birth, you were given this birth.”

According to reports, Maha Vishnu was detained from the Chennai International Airport.

After a stir erupted over his remarks on rebirth, State School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi assured action against the speaker.
