Mahakumbh visitors flock to hear divine discourse at Maharishi Ashram
PRAYAGRAJ (Maha Media): A grand Shrimad Devi Bhagwat Katha is being organized at the Maharishi Ashram in Prayagraj during the Mahakumbh. The event is taking place under the divine blessings of Maharishi Ji and the guidance of Ved Vidya Martand Brahmachari Girish Ji.
The renowned Katha Vyaas, Acharya Dr. Nilimp Tripathi, inaugurated the katha today. He emphasized the immense spiritual significance of Mahakumbh, stating that any act of charity or virtue during this period yields multiplied blessings. He also highlighted the importance of an efficient administration for the successful conduct of such a massive event.
Acharya Tripathi further explained that excessive accumulation of material possessions goes against the principles of nature as taught by Goddess Bhagwati. He stressed that detachment from material things is essential to receive the love of the mother of the universe. He cited an example of how Maharishi Mahesh Yogi once refused help from a wealthy businessman for the food of the ascetics, as the source of the funds was not considered righteous.
The Katha Vyaas also narrated instances of devotees receiving direct visions of Goddess Bhagwati by circumambulating the Narmada River, emphasizing the significance of sincere devotion. He urged the devotees to follow the path shown in the Devi Bhagwat and not to be deluded by the illusions of the world.
He further added that Goddess Bhagwati often appears to devotees in various forms like Goddess Parvati, Goddess Saraswati, or Mother Narmada, but only a few can recognize her. He encouraged everyone to look beyond the external forms and perceive the inner essence of the divine mother.
Acharya Tripathi also acknowledged the grace of Maa Annapurna in the preparation of food for over 2,000 people at the ashram's kitchen. He cautioned against wasting or disrespecting food. The Shrimad Devi Bhagwat Katha is being held daily from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM at the Maharishi Ashram during the Mahakumbh.
