‘महाकुंभ’ सनातन संस्कृति की अविरल धारा का अद्वितीय प्रतीक है।
कुंभ समरसता पर आधारित हमारे सनातन जीवन-दर्शन को दर्शाता है। आज धर्म नगरी प्रयागराज में एकता और अखंडता के इस महापर्व में संगम स्नान करने और संतजनों का आशीर्वाद लेने के लिए उत्सुक हूँ।

Shah is set to arrive in Prayagraj at 11:25 AM on Monday, after which he will perform a holy bath at the Triveni Sangam. His itinerary includes visits to the Bade Hanuman Ji Temple and Abhayvat, followed by a meeting with the Maharaj and other saints at Juna Akhara, where he will have lunch. He will also visit Guru Sharananand Ashram to meet Guru Sharananand and Govind Giri Maharaj, concluding his visit with discussions with the Shankaracharyas of Sringeri, Puri, and Dwaraka before departing for Delhi in the evening.
In another event, Yog Guru Baba Ramdev led a free yoga therapy and meditation camp at the Mahakumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj, which was attended by 7th Kyabje Yongzin Ling Rinpoche. The Mahakumbh, held every 12 years, is expected to attract a massive number of devotees in Prayagraj from January 13 to February 26. Since its commencement on January 13 with the auspicious Paush Purnima, the event has already seen over 110 million devotees taking holy dips in the sacred waters during the first 14 days. Pilgrims traditionally gather at the Sangam—the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the now-extinct Saraswati rivers—to perform the holy dip, believed to cleanse sins and grant moksha (liberation). Rooted in Sanatan Dharma, this event symbolizes a celestial alignment that creates an auspicious time for spiritual cleansing and devotion, with expectations of over 450 million visitors, marking a historic moment for India.
