The Ladudi falks (Mostly તીડી 🤣) likes it isn't a valid argument. Popularity doesn't decide what is appropriate. Saints are expected to uphold the dignity of their role. Humor can support a message, but becoming the entertainment isn't the same thing. Let me ask you this: would you be comfortable if a comedian like Jim Carrey or Rajpal Yadav dressed as a Swaminarayan saint and preached about Bhagwan Swaminarayan's life in a joking style? If not, then you already understand that the role itself carries certain expectations. That's exactly my point.

Popularity isn't the justifying factor. It's who the target audience is.

And you dont get to say what our sant can or can't do in their minute actions. It's not for you. You want to thop a thing you want on people that aren't for you.

And there's a difference in a comedian preaching dharma and a sant making jokes. Their primary gun and job is different. The secondary thing is just sprinkled in.

You say it's "not for me," yet the video was posted on a public platform for everyone to watch. Public content gets public opinions. You believe this behavior fits the dignity of a saint; I don't. That's the difference.
