Ajagurajah has triggered widespread reactions online after advising women to reconsider spending on higher education and instead channel their resources into cosmetic procedures such as Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
In a statement that has since gone viral on social media, the controversial spiritual leader suggested that pursuing a master’s degree may not always yield immediate financial returns, arguing that some women might benefit more—socially or economically—from investing in physical appearance enhancement.
The comment quickly divided opinion across online platforms, with many users expressing shock at the comparison between academic advancement and cosmetic surgery.
Critics described the advice as misleading and harmful, arguing that education remains one of the most reliable long-term investments for personal and professional growth. Others also raised concerns about the promotion of body modification procedures, which carry potential medical risks and long-term health implications.
However, some supporters interpreted his remarks as commentary on modern societal priorities, where appearance and social perception are often linked to opportunities in entertainment, influencing, and relationships.
The debate has since expanded into broader discussions about women’s empowerment, education choices, financial priorities, and the growing influence of cosmetic surgery culture among young people.
As reactions continue to pour in, the controversial statement has once again placed Ajagurajah at the center of national online discourse.
