Pilgrims, Saints, and Devotees Celebrate Magh Purnima with Sacred Dip at Maha Kumbh

Mahakumbh Nagar, Feb 12 (NationPress) On the auspicious occasion of Magh Purnima, crores of pilgrims, including saints and Kalpvasis, took the sacred dip at Triveni Sangam and various designated ghats. They praised the exemplary arrangements at the Maha Kumbh Mela and commended the state administration for effective management.

Sadhus from all Akhadas took part in the holy bath and expressed their admiration for the seamless arrangements provided by the government. They stated that Kumbh has always served as a means to comprehend and experience the eternal truth of Sanatan Dharma, and they deemed Maha Kumbh 2025 as extraordinary in multiple aspects.

This Maha Kumbh not only represents the principles of religion, spirituality, virtue, service to humanity, unity, and righteous actions, but it also offers a well-organized, safe, and technologically advanced experience.

The sadhus emphasized that orchestrating such a grand spiritual gathering is achievable only for a genuine Sanatani. They referred to CM Yogi Adityanath as the “pride of Sanatan Dharma”, asserting that none other could have ensured such flawless arrangements for this sacred event.

Aghor Tantracharya, Guru, and Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhada, R. Manikandan, spoke on the importance of Maha Kumbh, stating that every moment spent in the fairgrounds during this event is as precious as nectar. He expressed his satisfaction regarding the facilities provided to sadhus, sanyasis, and ordinary citizens, praising CM Yogi's unmatched efforts. He noted that only a true Sanatani with a profound understanding of Sanatan Dharma can successfully organize such a grand event.

He also encouraged pilgrims not to focus solely on bathing at the Sangam Nose. He mentioned that the entire Maha Kumbh area constitutes a sacred “power triangle”, embodying the spiritual merit of all pilgrimage sites. Thus, instead of overcrowding at the Sangam Nose, it is more beneficial to bathe at nearby ghats, as the same merit can be attained there.

Naga Saint Bengali Baba (Shahpura Wale) from Panchayati Akhada Mahanirvani in Ujjain, who participated in all major bathing rituals of Mahakumbh, has now departed for Kashi after completing his holy dip on Magh Purnima. He revealed that after Vasant Panchami, various Akhadas, saints, and religious leaders began their journey from Prayagraj to Kashi.

Bengali Baba mentioned that each Akhada has designated locations where they reside until Maha Shivaratri. During this period, they engage in spiritual practices and ultimately celebrate Holi with Baba Vishwanath before proceeding. He commended CM Yogi Adityanath, calling him the “Sun of Sanatan Dharma”, for ensuring the grand success of Maha Kumbh. He highlighted the Chief Minister's efforts in hosting and honoring saints while providing a secure and well-structured experience for the masses.

Swami Dilip Das Tyagi, head of Raghuvansh Sankalp Seva Sangh and Ayodhya's Ram-Vaidehi Temple, described the opportunity to take a holy dip on the auspicious occasion of Magh Purnima as a moment of great fortune. He shared that numerous saints from Ayodhya participated in all major bathing rituals, including Magh Purnima, and experienced divine bliss by immersing themselves in the Triveni Sangam.

He commended CM Yogi Adityanath and the local administration for their tireless efforts in organizing Maha Kumbh. He urged devotees to visit and experience the various aspects of this grand event, including the Digital and Safe Maha Kumbh. Additionally, he called upon the public and pilgrims to contribute towards maintaining the sanctity, cleanliness, and organization of the Maha Kumbh, ensuring a memorable and harmonious spiritual gathering.
