Sudha Chandran Calls Viral Bhajan Video a Personal Devotional Trance

She calls the episode a personal act of devotion, declining to justify it to critics.

Overview

  • Clips from her January 3 Mata Ki Chowki in Mumbai show her overwhelmed as attendees, including Jaswir Kaur, hold her steady, with moments where she appears to bite a helper.
  • In an interview with Times Now/Zoom, Chandran said, "I am not here to justify," framing the experience as an intense spiritual state rooted in faith.
  • Online reaction remains split between supporters who view it as divine possession or deep devotion and skeptics who label it performative, with others urging sensitivity.
  • Outlets continue to circulate the viral reels alongside calmer videos from the same gathering that capture singing and dancing.
  • No medical explanation or health statement has been issued publicly, and current coverage centers on interpretation and media ethics rather than any diagnosis.
