Baba Bageshwar: Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, the chief priest of the Bageshwar Dham government in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, said that whoever dies on the banks of the Ganges will not die, but he will get salvation. According to a government statement, 30 people died in a stampede at midnight before the ongoing Mahakumbh started in Prayagraj on the morning of Mauni Amavasya on 29 January. Contrary to government claims, there are reports of people lost their lives in a stampede from all over the country.
The video of a discourse ceremony is going viral on social media, in which saints and saints are still sitting on the stage. It is not clear where the video is from, but it seems to Prayagraj, given the crowd of saints and listeners in front of the stage. In this ceremony, Dhirendra Shastri is saying in the context of deaths in the stampede, ‘I was reading comments today. Some people also called. Some of our friends are communist ideology. They were calling us and asking, “Baba, what will you say now, will you open the letter?” I said that we will definitely open it. He said, “There are so many Mahatma, so many sages, there are so much chanting, so much penance, yet what are your thoughts on this incident?” I said that people are dying every day in the country. Millions of people are dying. Some people are dying without medicine. Some people are dying without health care. Some people are dying of a heart attack. This phenomenon is definitely condemnable. This is very strange, but let me tell you one thing, this is Mahaprayag. Death is unavoidable for everyone. “One day everyone has to die, but if someone dies on the banks of the Ganges, he will not die, he will get salvation.”
Baba Bageshwar insisted on this, ‘No one has died here. Yes, it is sad that they are going ahead of time, but everyone has to go. It is certain that someone will leave after 20 years. Somebody will leave after 30 years. We also have to go, you also have to go, but they have not died. In fact, he has attained salvation. ‘
