NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Feburary 27 highlighted the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj as a monumental event that has not only strengthened India’s spiritual legacy but has also set a new benchmark in management, planning, and policy-making.
In a blog dedicated to the grand gathering, PM Modi emphasised how the Maha Kumbh has emerged as a subject of study for management professionals, policymakers, and researchers in the spiritual domain. He noted that the scale and organisation of the event have no parallel in the world.
“This Maha Kumbh event held in Prayagraj has become a subject of new study for management professionals of the modern era and for planning and policy experts. Today, there is no comparison to such a huge event in the entire world, there is no other example like this,” he wrote.
Reflecting on its deeper spiritual significance, PM Modi underlined how the enthusiasm of millions of devotees reflected India’s growing confidence in its heritage. “If people doing research in the spiritual field study this enthusiasm of crores of Indians, they will find that India, which is proud of its heritage, is now moving ahead with a new energy. I believe, this is the sound of the change of era, which is going to write a new future for India,” he stated.
PM Modi expressed awe at the sheer number of people who arrived at the Triveni Sangam without formal invitations or scheduled instructions. “The whole world is surprised how such a large number of crores of people gathered on a river bank, at the Triveni Sangam. These crores of people had neither received a formal invitation nor any prior information about the time to arrive. People simply set out for the Maha Kumbh… and were blessed by taking a dip in the holy Sangam,” he said.
Recalling the unforgettable moments from the event, the Prime Minister shared his emotional connection with the devotees’ experiences. “I cannot forget those pictures… I cannot forget those faces filled with immense joy and satisfaction after bathing. Be it women, elderly or disabled people, everyone did whatever they could to reach Sangam,” he said.
