The Maha Kumbha Parva was organised from 13^th January to 26^th February 2025. Saints from all over the country came to Prayagraj for this period. Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Binda Nilesh Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Mukul Gadgil visited the Holy city of Prayagraj on 21^st and 22^nd January. This tour turned out to be Divine and historic as they visited various places. Let us learn about this tour in brief.

The visits of the Sadgurus to the Akhadas were special

Sadgurus Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Binda Nilesh Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Mukul Gadgil visited Shri Panchayati Niranjani Akhada located in Sector 20 of the Kumbha Kshetra and met Shri Mahant Ravindrapuriji Maharaj (President of the Akhada Parishad). At that time, other devotees and activists of the Akhada had an expression on their faces that the two women are special and Divine. These two Spiritual Heirs of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale (Founder of Sanatan Sanstha) toured the premises of the Akhada and learned about the spiritual work going on there with curiousity.

Later, Sadguru (Dr) Charudatta Pingale (National Guide of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti – HJS) also met and honoured Shri Mahant Ravindrapuriji Maharaj, while He honoured Sadguru (Dr) Charudatta Pingale and Sadguru Nilesh Singbal (Dharmapracharak of HJS). Sadguru (Dr) Pingale invited Maharaj to the ‘Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav’ which is organised annually in Goa.

Sankalpa Pujan at the Triveni Sangam for establishing the ‘Hindu Rashtra’

Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Gadgil arrived at Kumbha Kshetra on 21st January. On the same day, with the aim of establishing the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ in India for the welfare of the world, and for the long life and good health of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale, Sankalpa Pujan (Ritual of making a resolve) and prayers were offered at the Holy confluence of the Rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati on the Maha Kumbha Parva in Tirtharaj, Prayagraj.

On this occasion, Sadguru (Dr) Mukul Gadgil (of Maharshi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay – MAV), Sadguru (Dr) Charudatta Pingale (National Guide of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti – HJS), Sadguru Nilesh Singbal (Dharmapracharak of HJS), Pujya Pradeep Khemka and His wife Pujya Sunita Khemka, were also present.

Just as devotees pray for their own prosperity to Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati at the Triveni Sangam, the two Sadgurus prayed earnestly for the welfare of all Hindus and for establishing the ‘Hindu Rashtra’.

After this, Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Gadgil proceeded to have darshan of Shri Akshayavata with great bhav (Spiritual emotion) alongwith other Saints who accompanied them.

An unforgettable visit to the grand Annapurna Hall of ISKCON

ISKCON’s Mega kitchen, which prepared Mahaprasad for over 35,000 devotees at a time every day

This year, ISKCON set up a Mega kitchen (Grand Annapurna Halls) with the help of the Adani Group. Mahaprasad (Meals) were served to over 35,000 devotees every day from this kitchen. The Sadgurus visited the ISKCON camp to understand the working of the Mega kitchen. ISKCON’s Chief at Bharuch, Gujarat, Dr Muralidhar Das welcomed the Sadgurus and gave them detailed information about the Shrikrushna Temple, scenes from the Bhagawad Geeta, Annapurna Chhatra and the Mega kitchen in the ISKCON camp. Dr Das said, “ISKCON’s devotees regularly use Sanatan’s sattvik products. Such products are not available anywhere else. We will help you market them across India”.

Historical moment at Maha Kumbha Parva : ‘Hindu Rashtra Padayatra’

The ‘Hindu Rashtra Padayatra’ organised on 22nd January and the participation of Sadgurus Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Binda Nilesh Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Mukul Gadgil became a historical moment of the Maha Kumbha Parva. Many remembered Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale’s Divine chariot festival organised in 2022. The Sadgurus riding the chariot looked very radiant. Seeing their Divine radiance, many devotees along the path of the procession, including Saints, despite not knowing them, bowed to them with folded hands. The Sadgurus bowed too with folded hands. Passengers in rickshaws, buses, etc. were clicking their pictures. Saints, Naga Sadhus, etc. waiting outside the Akhadas on the path of this chariot procession were raising their hands and slogans in praise of the ‘Hindu Rashtra’. The entire environment became saffron coloured. Overall, this historic Padayatra became a symbol of the glory of Brahmatej and Kshatratej.
