Bageshwar Dham: Peethadheeshwar Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham, who has a huge fan following all over the world, is often in the news due to his sermons and miracles. He always preaches Sanatan Dharma through his words. One word often heard in his talks is 'Thathri'. This word is used by Dhirendra Shastri ji and both his fans and critics have different opinions about it. Many times this word has become the cause of controversies, but Dhirendra Shastri himself has clarified its real meaning and sentiment.

The main meaning of the word 'Thathri' is associated with the Bundelkhandi language. This word refers to the bier, which is made of bamboo and wood and is used to carry the dead body towards the crematorium. This word is especially spoken by women in the Bundelkhand region and there is a deep emotional feeling hidden behind it.
According to Dhirendra Shastri, he uses the word 'Thathri' sometimes in anger, sometimes in passion, and sometimes in humor. He believes that the purpose of this word is not to belittle or abuse anyone, but it is a sign to guide a person towards truth. He explains that when a mother in Bundelkhand is angry with her child, she utters this word to him, which means 'Thathri ke bare, nakkata! Sudhar ja.' Here 'Thathri' means the realization of truth and the need for improvement in conduct.
Dhirendra Shastri also said that this word is never negative for anyone, rather it is a kind of mental and spiritual awakening. He says that when he uses this word, his purpose is not to harm anyone, but he expresses it only in an educational way.
