The incident raises important questions about the intersection of religious devotion and critical thinking. In the video, attendees can be seen eagerly drinking water, unaware of its true source, which sparked a range of reactions from viewers.
The spectacle drew mixed responses from the public. Some praised the unwavering faith of the devotees, while others expressed concern about the potential health risks of consuming what they believed to be sacred water. This contrast in opinions underscores the complex dynamics between faith and critical reasoning in religious practices.
What did temple authorities say?
In light of the controversy, the temple's sevaks clarified regarding the drinking of AC water. They revealed the surprising truth that the liquid was merely condensation from the air conditioning unit, not the revered ‘Charan Amrit’ that devotees had assumed it to be.
“We respect the faith people have in God, but it’s essential to inform them. The water they believe to be ‘Charan Amrit’ is actually just water from the AC. The real ‘Charan Amrit’ would contain ingredients like Tulsi and rose petals," said Dinesh Goswami, a temple sevak told ToI. Another sevak, Mohan Goswami, echoed the sentiment, emphasising the necessity of raising awareness among worshippers.
