Mahakumbh has become a "medium" to show gratitude for one's heritage, culture & religion: Yogi Adityanath

"Today, the total number of devotees who took the sacred dip in Mahakumbh will cross 62 crore. This event has involved almost every family," CM Yogi said.

At the Shri Shri Shankracharya Vijaendra Sarawati Maharaj Shivir, the Mahakumbh Mela Mahotsav 2025 is taking place. He honored Swami Vijayendra Saraswati Maharaj  for his work spreading Sanatan Dharma, a philosophy that emphasizes the significance of traditional Hindu traditions. Yogi further mentioned that he had canceled all of his significant meetings and emphasized the efforts made to improve society.

He said, Today is an extremely significant day for all of us. I just decided to attend this seminar after learning that Pujya Swami Ji will be visiting Prayagraj. I have canceled all of my plans for today in order to meet with him and have important discussions with him. Having him here makes me very pleased.

CM Yogi also attended the celebration of Sant Gadge Maharaj's 149th birthday. While addressing the gathering, CM Yogi said that Sant Gadge ji used to raise awareness of kirtan and education. Yogi stated that Sant Gadge used to reject caste compulsion, and he also used to proclaim that God lives where there is purity .
