‘Against fake Godmen’: Bollywood actor Sonali Kulkarni inaugurates Dr Narendra Dabholkar Lokvidyapeeth

In her speech, Kulkarni made mention of a recent case in which a Pune-based IT professional, who returned after working in the UK, was duped of Rs 14 crore by three individuals, including a woman who claimed that the spirit of a godman entered her body and that she could cure his ailing daughters.

Having associated with Dabholkar and ANIS for several years, Kulkarni said she would spread information about the Dr Narendra Dabholkar Lokvidyapeeth, which offers six online courses on issues like god and ghost possession of the human body, misleading ‘Vastushastra’, pseudoscience and de-addiction.

Anybody over 13 years can apply for these courses available free of cost on http://www.anisvidya.org.in. An online examination would be conducted, and those clearing it would get certificates signed by author Achyut Godbole.

Palshikar appreciated the “People’s University”, saying it is being launched at a time when the situation is adverse in society. Palshikar also hinted that the initiative may face obstruction from certain sections.

During the event, English editions of a set of 10 books written by Dabholkar were released in the presence of Professor Rahee Dahake, who did the translation.
