Considering Kishori’s spiritual personality, people noted that it was quite strange for a guru to forget his material possessions and share photos with a Rs 2 lakh bag and a Rolex watch.

Prominent spiritual preacher and singer Jaya Kishori is facing criticism after a photo in which she is seen using a luxury handbag went viral. Kishori was seen holding a Dior Book Tote, which costs over Rs 2 lakh, according to reports.

Shortly after the photo was shared on social media, Kishori faced backlash, particularly because she often preached the idea of ​​not being attached to materialism and other worldly possessions.

The personalized Dior tote is made of cotton and has a calfskin lining. Many on social media found this strange as it raises awareness about protecting cows from abuse and brutality. Some even accused her of hypocrisy since her choice of accessories was contrary to what she claimed to stand for.

One user commented: “This is why we need to check our speakers and choose only genuine speakers. If one does not follow what she preaches, then she is not the right speaker. »

Some users even accused her of using religion for personal gain. “It teaches you non-materialism. So you can follow and she can extract the materialism from it,” one comment read.

One user mentioned, “Most of these “holy” men and women are anything but holy. They are rolling in riches while their clueless followers soak up every holier-than-thou sermon as if it were pure gold.

Some users spoke in favor of it, pointing out that owning expensive items is not an attachment. One user commented: “It’s not about the possessions, it’s about your attachment to them. Do you own things or do things own you, that is the question?

Another user said: “So what? She is Katha wachak and not sanyasi..”
