In July 2016, during an interview about mistreatment of Indian temple elephants, Easwar noted that temples have financial incentives to entertain crowds, which often results in the use of elephants for the spectacle. The root cause of the mistreatment, he believes, is a lack of spiritual education. "Our temples have become carnival spaces and tourist places, devoid of spiritual meaning and content." Easwar recommended as a reform, one-hour saturday spiritual education for Hindus, similar to Friday for Muslims and Sunday for Christians. He supports the cultivation of "Secular Hindu unity" in Kerala. He went to court against the hate speech by Hindu leader Sadhvi Prachi against Muslim community. Talking to media, he made it clear that majority consolidation should not be anti-minority and it should be inclusive.

Easwar received threats from Right wing extremist groups for visiting Hadiya & Madani. A complaint was filed by Mr. K M Ashokan, who's daughter's marriage was subjected to annulment by the High Court over controversy of forcible religious conversion. Easwar welcomed the entry of all believers of temple irrespective of religion. . He also supported the priesthood for all beyond caste.. Easwar and Thushar Vellappaly, son of Vellapally Natesan demanded an anti forced conversion law in Kerala.
