2.Great Orator
He was known for bitter sermons with a caustic style littered with jokes and anecdotes. He had said on his style: “I had been sweet in the first 10 years. The side effect of me speaking sweet was that people used to sleep. Then my inner self told me not to waste time before these blind and deaf people... next day I made a statement and half of Hindustan turned against me...after that pressure was exerted on me to take back my statement...that was the beginning of bitter sermons.”

4.Tarun Sagar Comments - On his following
Speaking about his following, he said: "I am not acceptable everywhere. But I believe there are a large number of people who have affection for me. In my sermons, I don’t talk about any religion, any community, I talk only about life and everyone loves to live. That is the reason people love me. These days, people have scarcity of two elements: smile on face and happiness in life. I speak in both these elements and people not only listen to it but also choose it."

5.On Ram Temple
Speaking about the Ram Temple debate, he had said: "I tell you blatantly that if Ram Mandir is not constructed in Ayodhya then would it be built in Saudi Arabia? Construct the Mandir where Ram was born."

6.On PM Modi
He had said: “I look at Modiji as a good Prime Minister. It seems after a long time, country has got a good Prime Minister. But I criticise Modiji for one thing... when Modiji was in opposition, he would oppose subsidy being given to slaughter houses during Congress government. Now Modi government has even hiked the subsidy on slaughter house and I will criticise it.”

8.On rapists babas
He said: "I had said that rapist babas are dangerous than Bin Laden...they are murdering religious beliefs... Akhada has released list of 14 fake babas...I say there are not 14 but 14000 fake babas...after exploring only we can get to know what kind of mischiefs are going on in the name of religion. There are no code of conduct for these babas and that is why such accidents are happening.
Saints like us have completely code of behaviour and only by discharging clothes one can’t become Digambar saint. When a saint undergoes commitment, he has to vow 28 commitments. There has to code of behaviour then only this organisation can be saved."
