Maha Kumbh 2025: Shankaracharya Joins Grand Confluence Of Faith At Prayagraj

Under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Prayagraj has emerged as a symbol of unity for all streams and sects of Sanatan Dharma. Following the grand entry of the Akhadas, revered Shankaracharyas have now joined the Mahakumbh, further enriching the spiritual atmosphere of the event.

Maha Kumbh Marks Grand Procession Entry Of Shankaracharya

A significant spiritual event unfolded as Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati of Jyotishpeeth made his grand entry into the Kumbh region. A large procession marked the occasion, drawing thousands of saints, sadhus, and devotees, who added to the divine aura of Mahakumbh. The procession, which began at Ram Bagh in the city, was a visual spectacle, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of India.

Maha Kumbh Sees Diverse Participation From Saints And Devotees

The procession, which started from Pattharchatti Ram Bagh, was led by the religious flag of Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati. Following the flag, a majestic chariot carried the Shankaracharya, with monks, Mahants, and saints from various monasteries accompanying him.

Thousands of Ved Batuk Brahmacharis from different Akhadas also participated in the procession, further highlighting the unity of the Sanatan Dharma community.

Cultural Vibrancy Adds To Spiritual Experience

The procession showcased a rich blend of folk culture, music, and traditional dance from all corners of India. Artists from Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Karnataka performed vibrant dances and music, making the event a true celebration of India’s diverse cultural heritage.

The local drum bands from South India and Maharashtra captivated the crowd, especially the Shiva Dhol Band from Maharashtra, which resonated through the streets, creating an electrifying atmosphere. Devotees also participated joyfully, dancing to the rhythm of the Damru dance.

The grand procession was warmly received by local citizens, who showered flowers at 108 locations across the city. The procession passed through notable areas such as Malaka, Sabzi Mandi, Moti Mahal Chauraha, and Jansenganj, before making its way to the Kumbh Mela site via the dam road and reaching the Shankaracharya camp.

Declaration For Cow As National Mother

Swami Satyanand Giri of Bodh Gaya Math shared that the procession carried a powerful message: to unite in the cause of declaring the cow as the national mother. Several chariots in the procession carried posters supporting this initiative, reinforcing the importance of this cause among the public.

With the entry of Shankaracharya and the participation of thousands of devotees, the Mahakumbh continues to be a beacon of spiritual unity and cultural pride.
