Nilimp Tripathi Ji highlights the significance of ‘Prayag’
PRAYAGRAJ [Maha Media]: The Maharishi Vedic Pandits of the Maharishi Organization continued their daily recitation of the 1,331 verses of the Rudrashtadhyayi and performed a havan at the Maharishi Ashram, located on the banks of the Sangam in Arail, Prayagraj, on Wednesday.
The ongoing Shri Devi Bhagwat Mahapuran Kathamrit Pravah, led by renowned Katha Vyas, Acharya Dr. Nilimp Tripathi Ji, blissfully soaked the devotees with the divine shower of spiritual pearls of Devi Bhagwat. Before starting today’s Katha, Nilimp Tripathi Ji emphasizes the significance of the Prayagraj region. He describes Prayag as a unique pilgrimage destination, with a rich narrative detailed in our scriptures. Goswami Tulsidas Ji refers to Prayag as the "king of pilgrimages," highlighting its unmatched glory. It is considered the foremost among all sacred places, where the holy rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati converge. Bathing here is believed to grant salvation.
Just as the Sun is among the planets and the Moon among the stars, Prayag stands out as the best pilgrimage site. Scriptures state that merely seeing the 'Akshayavat' tree in Prayagraj can absolve one of significant sins, including the grave sin of Brahmahatya. The Akshayavat, known as Adi Vat, is indestructible, and Lord Vishnu is said to rest on its leaves. Anyone who leaves their body in Prayagraj attains a place in Vaikuntha. The merits of those who bathe here during the month of Magh month cannot be quantified. We are fortunate that today, on the day of Magh Purnima, when all gods and goddesses and various pilgrimages converge, we have the opportunity to take a dip here, which will lead to the salvation of ourselves, our families, and our ancestors.
In today's story, Nilimp Tripathi Ji narrates the tale of Mohini, who, after dying by touching the waters of the Ganga, is reborn as Hemangi, the wife of King Veer Verma of Dravid. While looking at a map book at her friend Kala's house, Hemangi recalls her previous life and discusses with her husband, Veer Verma, the idea of visiting Maa Ganga in Prayag. Pleased by the couple's intention to travel to Prayag and perform charity and rituals, God grants them a place in his Satyalok. Tripathi Ji shared the glory of Prayagraj through many such examples and stories.
In the evening, students from Maharishi Vidya Mandir Naini held a cultural program at Maharishi Ashram. The program started with a welcome song, followed by a Ganesh Vandana. Students then performed a beautiful dance honoring the Guru and presented a Ram Bhajan. Next, a powerful poem was shared, depicting a conversation between Kali and Kal. The highlight of the evening was an impressive Kathak dance, followed by a captivating Radha dance that amazed the audience. The program ended with a series of Bhajan presentations. Many respected guests attended the event and praised the organization for its efforts.
All the events and programmes are being broadcast live on Ramraj TV. The live telecast is also available on Ramraj TV's YouTube and Facebook channels.
