From Child to “God”: The Story of Abhinav Arora and India’s Godman Industry

The photo of a young boy, Abhinav Arora, in a red sports car has gone viral. But the car is not the shocking part. The real shock is how a child like him became a “godman,” with thousands of followers and a lifestyle most adults can’t even dream of.

This is not just his story. This is the story of how India keeps creating “human gods”—from children to old men—and how this business of blind faith never dies.


Abhinav Arora: The Making of a Child God

Abhinav was not born a god. He was born an ordinary boy in Delhi. But from a very young age, his family projected him as a “divine child.” Videos show him dressed in saffron, chanting mantras, giving “pravachans” (religious talks) far beyond his age.

Crowds were told: “He is special, he has powers, he is not like other children.”
And people believed.

Soon, followers started treating him like a saint. They touched his feet, offered money, and shared his videos on social media. What started as a small circle quickly grew into an empire of devotion.

By his early teens, Abhinav was already a social media star, giving live discourses, meeting crowds, and being invited to events. The donations poured in. The boy who should have been in school was instead learning the fastest lesson in India: faith sells.

And today, he sits in a luxury sports car, living a life most hardworking families can only dream of.


India: The Factory of Human Gods

Abhinav is not alone. India keeps creating godmen like an assembly line. Why? Because the demand is endless. People want blessings, miracles, and shortcuts in life—and anyone who can talk with confidence, wear saffron, and act divine can cash in.

Some examples:

  • Asaram Bapu – Built a multi-crore empire before going to jail for rape.
  • Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh – Singer, actor, and godman—now jailed for rape and murder.
  • Radhe Maa – Lives a queen-size life in the name of devotion.
  • Nithyananda – Escaped rape charges in India, bought his own island in Ecuador, and now calls it the “Nation of Kailaasa.” Not behind bars—he rules his own kingdom.

Why Do People Fall for This?

  1. Blind Faith: Indians are taught from childhood not to question religion.
  2. Quick Fix Mentality: People want instant solutions to money, health, or family problems.
  3. Social Media Stardom: Platforms make even a child look like a divine superstar overnight.
  4. Weak Regulations: No real law stops families from turning their kids into gods.

The Cost of This Madness

While Abhinav drives a Porsche-like car, millions of children in India don’t even get two meals a day. While fake gurus collect donations in crores, schools and hospitals remain empty of funds.

This is not spirituality. This is business. A business where emotions are the product and people’s blind faith is the profit.


The Cycle of Fake Gods

Every few years, the story repeats:

  1. A new guru rises.
  2. Crowds gather, money flows.
  3. Luxuries come.
  4. Scandals break.
  5. Jail or escape.
  6. A new one rises again.

It’s not the godmen who are smart. It’s the people who are foolish.


Final Thought: India Needs Children, Not Child Gods

Abhinav Arora’s story should not make us clap. It should make us angry. A child’s life is being wasted on fake glory, and people are rewarding it.

👉 India doesn’t need boys in red sports cars pretending to be gods. India needs boys and girls in classrooms, in labs, on sports fields—building the nation, not looting it.

Until we stop worshipping humans as gods, this cycle will never end.
