Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 9 (ANI): Mahakumbh, a grand celebration of Indian spirituality and culture, draws its foundation from the timeless wisdom of the Vedas. In January 2025, the saints’ camps in the Mahakumbh area will resonate with vedic hymns recited by more than 20,000 vedic scholars from Prayagraj and neighbouring districts.
As the Yogi government works tirelessly to transform the upcoming Mahakumbh into a magnificent spectacle, grand camps of saints and akharas are taking shape, with the fair administration streamlining arrangements while spiritual leaders infuse their camps with the essence of Vedic traditions. These camps aim to weave a sacred fabric of Vedic mantras, Kathas, Bhagwat recitations, and spiritual discourses.
Preparations are underway to facilitate vedic recitations by students from Veda schools. Braj Mohan Pandey, Principal of Swami Narottamanda Giri Veda Vidyalaya in Jhunsi, emphasises that the event is an opportunity to propagate Vedic culture and introduce it to the younger generation.
Similarly, Maha Mandaleshwar Someshwaranand Brahmachari of Shri Panch Agni Akhara highlights plan to invite Vedic students for recitations, stressing that the essence of Vedic culture is central to Mahakumbh experience.
Maha Mandaleshwar Swami Pranavanand Saraswati of Panchayat Akhara Maha Nirvani reveals that his camp will host eight Brahmins who will chant five lakh Panchaksharas daily, alongside Vedic recitations.
More than 20,000 Vedic students will participate in this spiritual endeavor. In Prayagraj district, government-run Veda Pathshalas and Guru-Shishya units, managed by the Maharishi Sandipani Rashtriya Veda Sanskrit Shiksha Board, are preparing their students for this grand event.
Hari Om Dwivedi, Principal of Shri Bharti Tirtha Veda Shala in Alopi Bagh, shares that students are awaiting official permission from the board to take up this significant responsibility. (ANI)
