'Mahayagna' of unity has concluded: PM Modi on Maha Kumbh
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to social media on February 27 to reflect on the conclusion of the Maha Kumbh, describing it as a "Maha Yagya of unity."
In his post on the social media platform X, PM Modi expressed his awe at the overwhelming unity displayed by the 140 crore countrymen who gathered for the 45-day event in Prayagraj.
""The Maha Kumbh has concluded...the Maha Yagya of unity has been completed. The way the faith of 140 crore countrymen came together for 45 days at the Maha Kumbh of unity in Prayagraj, at one time, and joined this one festival, is overwhelming! I have tried to pen down the thoughts that came to my mind after the completion of the Maha Kumbh..." PM Modi wrote.
He further shared a link to his blog titled "Maha Kumbh of unity, the sound of change of era," where he elaborated on his thoughts.
In the blog, PM Modi described the event as a symbolic awakening of the nation's consciousness, marking the end of centuries of subjugation and the rise of a new era.
"Maha Kumbh is over... Maha Yagya of unity is over. When the consciousness of a nation is awakened, when it breaks all the shackles of the mentality of slavery of hundreds of years and starts breathing in the air with new consciousness, then a similar scene appears, as we saw in the Maha Kumbh of unity in Prayagraj since January 13," Modi wrote.
"On January 22, 2024, during the Praan Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, I spoke about patriotism through devotion to God. During the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, all the gods and goddesses gathered, saints and mahatmas gathered, children and old people gathered, women and youth gathered, and we witnessed the awakened consciousness of the country. This Maha Kumbh was a Maha Kumbh of unity, where the faith of 140 crore countrymen came together at one time through this one festival, the blog read.
The PM said the festival inspires us to have unity and harmony.
"In this region of the holy city of Prayagraj, there is also the sacred area of unity, harmony and love, Shringaverpur, where Lord Shri Ram and Nishadraj met. That incident of their meeting is also like the confluence of devotion and harmony in our history. This pilgrimage of Prayagraj still inspires us to have unity and harmony," he wrote.
"For the last 45 days, everyday, I have seen how lakhs of people from every corner of the country are moving towards the banks of Sangam. The wave of sentiments of bathing at Sangam kept on increasing. Every devotee was in the mood of just one thing- bathing at Sangam. The confluence of Maa Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati was filling every devotee with enthusiasm, energy and faith," he added.
The PM said the Kumbh is now the subject of study for management professionals of the modern era, for planning and policy experts.
"This Maha Kumbh event held in Prayagraj has become a subject of new study for management professionals of the modern era, for planning and policy experts. Today, there is no comparison to such a huge event in the entire world, there is no other example like this.The whole world is surprised how such a large number of crores of people gathered on a river bank, at the Triveni Sangam. These crores of people had neither received a formal invitation nor any prior information about the time to arrive. People simply set out for the Maha Kumbh...and were blessed by taking a dip in the holy Sangam. I cannot forget those pictures... I cannot forget those faces filled with immense joy and satisfaction after bathing. Be it women, elderly or our disabled people, everyone did whatever they could to reach Sangam," he wrote
PM Modi welcomed the fact that there was a huge particpation of the youth in the event and said it showed that the youth would take forwards the values and culture of India.
