Spiritual speaker jiya Kishori recently faced backlash after sharing a video showing her with a luxurious Dior bag valued at approximately ₹2,10,000, which she later deleted. Known for her teachings on simplicity and non-materialism as part of her devotion to Lord Krishna, the post raised questions among her followers, sparking a debate about authenticity in spiritual leadership. The choice of Dior, which uses calf leather for its bags, added to the controversy, especially considering Hindu cultural values around ahimsa (non-violence), particularly towards animals.
Many netizens took to social media, questioning the alignment between her teachings and lifestyle, criticizing the perceived disparity between promoting non-materialistic ideals and showcasing high-end fashion. This led to discussions about the accountability of spiritual influencers, with users expressing disappointment and accusing her of hypocrisy. The situation reflects an ongoing dialogue on how leaders represent spiritual and ethical values in public life.
