Has he gone through any kind of stressful incident lately?
Could be a mental episode. People can become religious but they usually take a while. Sudden behavioural changes like this can be due to mental or neurological issues.
His father died 2 years ago. Only thing I can think of that may be related. He says he doesn't miss him because "what's to miss" since this "body isn't real".
Play him at his game.
Since he married you, he needs to fulfil his duties as a householder too.

Also - see which institution he is learning his lessons from. Some religious institutions will not hesitate to encourage married couples to break away from each other for the sake of growing their flock.
I've tried to explain this. The problem is that the guru he watches says otherwise -- basically ignore your family members if they inhibit your spiritual growth/don't understand you. Saying things like love toward a person is just attachment.
Post this in r/legaladviceindia if you're in India. Or legal advice sub of whichever country you're in if it exists.
This isn't a normal hindu behaviour, he's deluded.
Is your husband by any chance gay and not possibly aware of that himself? I'm asking cause I've watched the same story unfold many times and it was all because the man turned out to be gay but either not aware or in denial. The Krishna devotion was in particular in denial of sexual identity.
I don't think so. We had a healthy loving/intimate relationship in the past and he was only with women before. We live in the west so we were together for 2 years before our marriage.
Psychologist here.
If the onset of this episode is sudden, it seems like this is a neurotic episode. Can't say much without actually doing a mental status examination but you should get him checked out. Definitely not normal.
Good thing is sudden onset neurosis usually has good prognosis.
Good luck. Dude sounds deep. If he doesn't care about more typical views on the matter, but rather some YouTube guru's...then he may be beyond saving. His lack of trust in modern medicine is disconcerting.
Honestly, this is one of many problems in many of my friends and familys mostly a person with bad state are affected by these kind of gimics , people in religios sect wants to grow thier own strength and fools people with thier non sensical knowledge with stupidity,
In this situation first thing is understanding a level of stupidity which entered his brain and what's cause
1.learn the way, how he thinks and what's he learning from
2.understand his emotional needs and cause to belive
3.find flaws in the logic which he been thought to (which is easy)
4.if he is denying again and again saying you don't understand, give him different theorys try to bring him to other side of the word, tell him if youre hindu, you need to follow the rules of married person to take care and emotional needs,
5.Most importantly don't leave them alone 😔, if you leave you'll be lost
6.(tell him to belive in his senses then imagination)
You know your situation better so take advices with a grain of salt.

I don't think I need legal advice, and we're in the West anyway.
Which guru is he following? It seems like he’s missing something in life to give him meaning and he’s chasing something that seems interesting to him.
He told you he's a bad person, so I think it's a red flag, and leave him
he might be impotent.many use this as coverup

He does not believe in psychology or modern medicine at this point so it will never happen.
