Popular YouTuber Gaurav Taneja who is popularly known as Flying Beast received a lot of criticism online on Monday after he posted a photo of him and his wife Ritu Rathee doing Agnihotra Havan. Sharing a photo of performing havan after shifting to a new home, Taneja wrote, Griha Pravesh Puja, Hinduism is a science-based way of life.

Referring to the 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy, he wrote On 3 Dec 1984, two families remained unaffected by the Bhopal gas leak. They performed regular Agnihotra Havan, which is a natural antidote to pollution.

Some individuals praised Gaurav Taneja’s tweet, while others questioned his educational qualifications. Gaurav Taneja is a YouTuber, commercial pilot, and nutritionist from India. The fitness enthusiast did his civil engineering at IIT Kharagpur.

One of the users wrote how the hell did you get IIT admission. While another quipped that I think this is the guy who gave PM Modi the idea of Diya jalao aur corona bhagao.

Journalist Dilip Mandal also commented on his post and said Taneja attended IIT on a subsidized basis and completed his education at a low cost. His education has been paid for by all Indian taxpayers, including a soap buyer. The money should be returned to the Indian government. The entire study was buried in the soil. What was the use of going to IIT if the mind was not shaped on the inside?

While others supported Taneja and shared the logic behind his tweet. Referring to Dilip’s tweet, one of the users wrote How can a professor say this? All the people out there who are criticizing Flying Beast (Gaurav Taneja’s Twitter handle) for studying at IIT and making this statement, have forgotten that India is the land of diversity the land of Ramayana Sanskrit epic. If science is the vehicle then spirituality drives it, he added.
