Mahakumbh

Nagar, 22 Feb (HS): As the grand Mahakumbh approaches its final sacred bath on

Mahashivratri, a massive wave of devotion continues to flow towards Prayagraj.

With over 60 crore devotees having already taken a holy dip at the Triveni

Sangam, the spiritual fervor remains at its peak across the country. Among the

waves of pilgrims heading to Prayagraj, an enthusiastic group of 2,000 devotees

from Asansol, West Bengal, has set out in 40 buses to participate in the divine

event, chanting the name of Lord Ram and preparing for the sacred bath.

Swami

Dilip Das Tyagi, the head of Ayodhya’s Raghuvansh Sankalp Seva, shared that

this group will arrive in Mahakumbh on Saturday night. Alongside saints from

Ayodhya, they will perform a holy dip in the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna,

and the invisible Saraswati amid Vedic chants. Krishna Prasad, the head of the

organizing committee accompanying the group, emphasized the significance of

this spiritual journey. He praised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath

for organizing such a grand Mahakumbh, stating that no one else in the country

could have executed an event of this scale. Inspired by CM Yogi’s efforts,

people from West Bengal are eager to witness this divine spectacle firsthand.

The

pilgrimage will also include special yajnas and havans, where devotees from

various states will participate. Additionally, devotees from West Bengal will

offer prayers to Maa Ganga for the salvation of their ancestors. Despite

previous remarks made by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee regarding

Mahakumbh, the people of Bengal have displayed immense enthusiasm for this

spiritual gathering. Many devotees expressed their desire to be part of this

historic event, affirming that if 60 crore people have already taken the holy

dip, they, too, must not miss the opportunity.
