The video quickly gained traction with over eight million views, garnering a wave of reactions. “Khan Sir, there is no teacher like you, and there will never be anyone who is beyond religion. May you get the age of God. Best wishes of Raksha Bandhan to all of you,” a user wrote. “Sir, if there are people like you in the entire India, then no one can stop India from becoming the Vishwaguru,” another user commented.

“A very good message has been given, sir. It has been proven that there is no religion greater than humanity; those who are poisoning each other in the name of religion should also think that humans can be bad, but no religion is wrong. Man creates religion to live his life, not to hate you sir. Keep spreading love among people and move forward in life,” a third user reacted.
