Mahakumbh Stampede: Bathing at any place in the Maha Kumbh area gives equal virtue. Shankaracharya and Akharas have issued an appeal to the devotees. They said that taking a dip in the Ganga during Amrit Yoga is also auspicious for all.
Hearing about the auspicious time of Maha Kumbh bath, people from far and wide are coming to Prayagraj. In such a situation, a huge crowd of devotees has gathered in Kumbhnagari. Most want to bathe in the ghats around Sangam. Due to this, a good crowd is being seen here.
After the accident in the Sangam area, Shankaracharya Swami Nischalanand Saraswati of Shri Govardhan Peeth and all other major saints say that bathing anywhere in Kumbhnagari during the auspicious time will give auspicious results. There is no need to bathe in any particular area for this.
Shankaracharya Swami Nischalanand Saraswati of Shri Govardhan Peeth says that taking a dip in the Ganga gives auspicious results for all. If there is no possibility of taking a dip in Triveni, then the result can be obtained by Bhavna. Triveni is present in the climate here. The air here flows with its purity. Shankaracharya said that wherever you take bath, you get the same virtuous results.
‘Wherever you get space, you should take bath there’
At the same time, All India Dandi Swami Parishad President Jagadguru Swami Mahesh Ashram also described bathing in Ganga as virtuous. He also says that wherever you get space in Kumbh city, you should take bath there. Its virtuous benefits are auspicious for all.
Akhada Parishad explained the importance
The officials of Akhada Parishad also explained the importance of bathing in Ganga. President Srimahant Ravindra Puri said that Maha Kumbh is a special occasion in itself. In such a situation, it does not matter that you take a dip only in Sangam. Wherever the stream of Ganga and ghat are available nearby in Kumbh area, take bath there. The entire Kumbh area gives the same merits as bathing in the Triveni Sangam.
We all should ensure that we bathe in the holy land of Maha Kumbh with cooperation and goodwill with the devotees around us. Take Amrit bath at the nearby ghats. Remember that every ghat is a Sangam- Swami Chidananda Saraswati, Parmarth Niketan.
