The Bollywood star of the ’90s steps into spirituality as Kinnar Akhada names her Mahamandleshwar
Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh), January 24: Former Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni, known for her iconic roles in the 1990s, took a significant spiritual step as she performed ‘pind daan’ at the Sangam Ghat in Prayagraj on Friday. This ritual, deeply rooted in Hindu tradition, is performed to honor ancestors and seek their blessings.
Speaking about the event, Kulkarni said, “This was the order of Mahadev, Maha Kaali. This was the order of my Guru. They chose this day. I didn’t do anything.”
Named Mahamandleshwar by Kinnar Akhada
In a parallel announcement, Acharya Mahamandleshwar of Kinnar Akhada, Laxmi Narayan, revealed that Mamta Kulkarni has been initiated into a spiritual role as Mahamandleshwar, under the name Shri Yamai Mamta Nandgiri.
“Kinnar Akhada is going to make Mamta Kulkarni a Mahamandleshwar. She has been named Shri Yamai Mamta Nandgiri. As I speak, all the rituals are underway. She has been in touch with Kinnar Akhada and me for the last one and a half years,” Laxmi Narayan stated.
The Acharya also emphasized the inclusive approach of Kinnar Akhada, saying, “She is allowed to perform the character of any devotional figure if she wants as we do not prohibit anyone from performing their art.”
From Bollywood Stardom to Spiritual Awakening
