Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, the head of Bageshwar Dham and a well-known religious storyteller, is embroiled in controversy again. A devotee from Uttar Pradesh has alleged that he decided to have another child ten years after his last one, trusting a written note from Shastri, but had a fourth daughter instead of a son.
