The Kumudam Group started a Telugu spiritual magazine called Kumudam Bhakthi Special.

Criticism
In September 2015, Kumudam came under criticism when an article published in Kumudam Reporter had criticised women wearing leggings. The women's pictures used in the article were reportedly printed without consent.[3] The article received considerable social media attention, resulting in a petition on Change.org, which received over 17,500 signatures.
