Patna: Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of Lalu Prasad Yadav, is once again in the news. But this time, the reason is not a political speech or party strategy. Instead, he is being discussed for his new spiritual look. In recent videos shared on social media, he is seen wearing red clothes, holding a rudraksha rosary and chanting “Har Har Mahadev”. His new appearance has quickly gone viral and has become a major talking point online.
A social media account named “Sant Tej Pratap” has been posting short videos in which he talks about devotion to Lord Shiva. In these clips, he advises people to wake up early, take a bath and perform puja with a calm and clean mind. He explains the importance of offering belpatra leaves to Shiva and says that worship should be done without hatred or jealousy. He has also promised to share devotional messages regularly with his followers. His tone in the videos is peaceful, and he speaks about love, unity and brotherhood.
The videos have received mixed reactions. Some supporters say this shows his spiritual side and call it a positive change. Others believe it may be a new way of staying connected with people through social media. Many users have shared memes and funny comments. Some jokingly called him “Bageshwar Baba 2”, referring to preacher Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. The nickname started trending soon after the videos were uploaded.
Tej Pratap Yadav has often appeared in different roles in the past. He has dressed as Lord Krishna during festivals and has spoken strongly on political and social issues. His personal life has also been widely discussed in the media. Because of this, many people are now wondering whether this new ‘sanyasi’ image is a permanent spiritual journey or simply another phase. For now, one thing is clear: whatever he does, Tej Pratap Yadav continues to remain in the spotlight.
