CM Yogi Adityanath Engages with Saints for Mahakumbh 2025 Preparations in Prayagraj
PRAYAGRAJ : As preparations for the much-anticipated Mahakumbh 2025 gain momentum, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Prayagraj on Saturday to meet with representatives from various akharas and saints’ communities. This interaction focused on ensuring that the upcoming event, scheduled to take place at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, exceeds expectations in terms of spiritual significance and logistical organization.
CM Yogi emphasized that the grandeur of the Mahakumbh is intrinsically linked to the guidance of the saint community, with the government merely serving as a facilitator. “The blessings of saints are the foundation of everything good in Mahakumbh. This time too, we look forward to their guidance for the fair administration,” he remarked during his visit.
The Mahakumbh, one of the largest spiritual gatherings in the world, draws millions of devotees to the holy confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Sarasvati rivers. The event is not only a religious occasion but also a global spectacle, drawing attention from spiritual communities, pilgrims, and cultural enthusiasts worldwide.
Saints’ Blessings and Commitment to Mahakumbh 2025
During the meeting, CM Yogi noted that Sanatan culture’s global recognition today was largely due to the blessings and guidance of the saints. He expressed his deep gratitude for their support in ensuring that Mahakumbh remains a meaningful and spiritually enriching experience for all attendees.
The CM also extended an invitation to the saints for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to Prayagraj on December 13, where he will perform a special puja at Sangam and inaugurate several infrastructure projects. These projects, valued at thousands of crores, aim to enhance the experience for pilgrims by focusing on cleanliness, safety, and improved facilities during the Mahakumbh.
The representatives of the 13 akharas, as well as those from other spiritual traditions such as Khak-Chowk, Dandibara, and Acharyabara, expressed their unanimous consent to attend the event, highlighting their commitment to the success of Mahakumbh 2025.
Addressing Concerns and Project Delays
While the discussions were largely positive, CM Yogi acknowledged some delays in project timelines, primarily due to the delayed receding of the Ganga’s waters. However, he reassured the saint community that the state government was making every effort to meet their expectations and complete preparations on time. He emphasized that cooperation from the sadhu-saint community would be essential in ensuring the cleanliness of the rivers and creating a welcoming environment for the millions of pilgrims expected to attend.
“The progress of Sanatan society is possible only under the guidance of saints,” said Yogi Adityanath. He further reiterated that the upcoming Mahakumbh should aim to surpass the Kumbh 2019, noting the significant transformation in major pilgrimage sites such as Ayodhya, Varanasi, and Braj Dham under the leadership of PM Modi.
Detailed Discussions on Logistics and Preparations
In the one-day visit, CM Yogi held comprehensive discussions with the saint community, addressing several key concerns regarding logistics and infrastructure. Topics such as land allotment, camp locations, cleanliness, traffic management, and assistance amounts were raised by representatives. CM Yogi assured that necessary directives would be issued to officials to resolve these issues promptly.
The saint community praised the Chief Minister’s proactive approach and the government’s transparent communication. They expressed immense gratitude towards his leadership, which they described as instrumental in creating a sense of pride within the Sanatan Dharma community. Many noted that CM Yogi had instilled a renewed sense of spiritual pride among the people of Uttar Pradesh, especially the saints and akharas.
A Historic Mahakumbh 2025
The interaction concluded with the saints voicing their strong commitment to the Mahakumbh 2025. They expressed their belief that the event would not only be a historic celebration of Sanatan culture but also a message of peace for the entire world. The positive energy surrounding the preparations suggests that Mahakumbh 2025 could set new standards in terms of both spiritual significance and pilgrimage tourism.
