Followers clarify

But many others, self-proclaimed followers, clarified that he often uses the cars the devotees offer him when he travels to make it more convenient. "That is not his Porsche but one of his followers porsche who is giving him a lift," wrote one of them.

Another devotee added that that is the reason the preacher was seen driving in different cars because he was offered rides by his followers. "That car doesn't belong to Premanand ji. Devotees offer their cars just for him to sit in. Check the number plate—plus, the car changes every day," he said.

A smorgasbord of other comments thronged the comment section as netizens defended the preacher, claiming he does not lead a life of luxury and lives his teachings of simplicity and positivity.
