India's Top 5 Most Followed Spiritual Leaders on Facebook - 2025

Scroll through Facebook in India today and you’ll notice something striking: spirituality has carved out a very visible corner of the digital space. What once meant visiting an ashram or attending a discourse now often begins with a short video clip in your feed. Millions of people, across age groups, are following spiritual teachers online, sometimes with the same attention they give to film stars or cricketers.

Among them, five names stand out for the sheer size of their following.

Acharya Prashant – 11 Million Followers

Sitting at the very top is philosopher and author Acharya Prashant, with more than 11 million followers on facebook. Already the most followed spiritual leader on Youtube with 58 million+ followers, his rise to no. 1 on Facebook has been phenomenal too. Apart from his popular short videos, which pack Vedanta into quick bites of wisdom, he brings long, engaging discussions on scriptures and contemporary issues. His powerful videos backed by scriptural understanding often makes listeners challenge their deep-held assumptions, and that seems to be exactly what his followers eagerly look for.

An Alumnus of IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad, he left corporate life to march on his journey of teaching Vedantic wisdom to the masses. Through the PrashantAdvait Foundation, he leads popular initiatives like a flagship live course on Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta. For students, young professionals, and anyone tired of half-answers, his presence on Facebook has become a daily stop.

Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev – 10 Million Followers

Next in the list is Sadhguru with 10 million followers. The Isha Foundation he built has become a global institution, and his campaigns, whether Rally for Rivers or Save Soil, have given him a visibility. On Facebook, his reach is mostly through sharp one-liners, stories, and accessible yogic and tantric practices.

Sadhguru’s focus remains on meditation, yoga routines, breathing exercises, and other techniques that can be adopted quickly. This gives audiences a sense of participation, though it is more about regular practice than deeper questioning.

Jaya Kishori – 9.1 Million Followers

Next on the list is Jaya Kishori. She commands 9.1 million followers. Her route has been through devotion: bhajans, kirtans, and short messages of faith. She connects mainly with families and younger audiences who look for a familiar, devotional style of guidance.

Her following shows that traditional bhakti style of speech maintains an audience online, though the appeal here lies more in emotional connection and devotional music than in deeper philosophical discussion.

Gaur Gopal Das – 8.5 Million Followers

With 8.5 million followers, Gaur Gopal Das is a monk and motivational speaker who speaks the language of everyday problems: relationships, workplace stress, and finding balance. His short, easy-to-digest motivational talks spread quickly on Facebook and other platforms.

Unlike longer philosophical explorations, his content is built for brevity and relatability with quick one-liners for all age groups. For many, that accessibility is what makes him appealing.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar – 5.5 Million Followers

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of the Art of Living Foundation, completes the top 5 list with 5.5 million followers on Facebook. His work has always centered on peace-building and simple meditation practices, and the same tone carries over into his Facebook presence.

From stress-relief programs to messages of calm and harmony, his voice has a consistent gentleness that appeals to many worldwide. Although recently not as much in popular discourse as he once was in his heyday, he still maintains a dedicated group of volunteers who teach his meditation practices all over the country and abroad.
