It is my immense good fortune to take a holy dip along with my family in the confluence of the divine streams of Maa Ganga, Maa Yamuna, and Maa Saraswati. Taking a holy dip (‘Amrit Snan’) in the Maha Kumbh of Unity is an unforgettable experience for me. May Mother Ganga bless everyone, this is my only wish. Har Har Gange!”
He also wrote, “This divine confluence of Maha Kumbh after 144 years, where a sea of saints, mahatmas, and devotees swells, is the most magnificent celebration of religion and faith. Maha Kumbh is not just a festival, but a living flame of thousands of years old spiritual and cultural consciousness of India. This is that divine occasion when the whole world is experiencing the grandeur of Sanatan culture and the unique power of devotion. I heartily congratulate the Uttar Pradesh government for holding the Maha Kumbh in a grand, clean, and well-organised manner under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the able leadership of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.”
