Sadhus hail CM Yogi for exemplary Mahakumbh arrangements

Mahakumbh Nagar, Feb 12: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s exceptional arrangements for Mahakumbh 2025 have received immense appreciation from devotees, kalpavasis, and sadhus.

On the auspicious occasion of Magh Purnima, crores of pilgrims took a sacred dip at Triveni Sangam and other various designated ghats. Sadhus from all Akhadas also participated in the holy bath and expressed their gratitude to the government for the seamless arrangements. They acknowledged that while the Kumbh has always been a medium to understand and experience the eternal truth of Sanatan Dharma, this Mahakumbh is extraordinary in many ways.

This Mahakumbh not only embodies the values of religion, spirituality, virtue, service to humanity, unity, and righteous actions, but it also presents a well-organized, safe, and technologically advanced experience. The sadhus emphasised that organising such a grand spiritual gathering with such precision is possible only for a true Sanatani. They lauded CM Yogi Adityanath as the pride of Sanatan Dharma, stating that no one else could have ensured such impeccable arrangements for this sacred event.

Aghor Tantracharya, Guru, and Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhada, R. Manikandan, speaking about the significance of Mahakumbh, says that every moment spent in the fair grounds during the Mahakumbh is as precious as nectar.

Expressing his happiness about the facilities provided to sadhus, sanyasis, and common citizens, Guru Manikandan praised CM Yogi’s efforts, calling them unmatched. According to him, only a true Sanatani and a deep understanding of Sanatan Dharma can successfully organize such a grand event.

He also urged pilgrims not to prioritize bathing only at the Sangam Nose. He explained that the entire Mahakumbh area is a sacred ‘power triangle,’ encompassing the spiritual merit of all pilgrimage sites. Therefore, instead of overcrowding at Sangam Nose, it is more beneficial to bathe at nearby ghats, as the same merit can be gained there as at the Sangam Nose.

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

According to Bengali Baba, in Kashi, each Akhada has designated places where they reside until Maha Shivaratri. During this period, they engage in spiritual practices and ultimately celebrate Holi with Baba Vishwanath before moving forward. He praised CM Yogi Adityanath, calling him the "Sun of Sanatan Dharma," for ensuring the grand success of Mahakumbh. He highlighted the Chief Minister’s exceptional efforts in hosting and honoring saints, managing the event with impeccable organization, and 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.

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