Indurikar Maharaj

In February 2020, Indurikar received strong backlash for one of his statements that his made during his sermon in Ozar (budruk) in Ahmednagar. The preacher had reportedly said that "If a woman has intercourse on the even date, a boy is born. If a woman is on an odd date, a girl is born .... If intercourse is done at an inauspicious time, the child that is born would bring a bad name to the family. If the timing (of intercourse) is missed, the quality of output (child) will be sub-standard."

On 19 June 2020, a First information report was registered in a Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) court in Sangamner, Ahmednagar. He was summoned to be present in court in August.

In 2019, there was a brief speculation that he may join politics with the Bharatiya Janta Party, but he quickly clarified that he won't ever contest in elections.

Indurikar is known for interlacing humorous relatable examples in his kirtans and thus is able to quickly strike a cord with the audience. First cassette of his kirtan was released in 2003 and soon became famous over the social media. Indurikar, along with a group of associates, employ musical instruments Taal and Mridang, but their usage is minimal.
