Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday termed the Mahakumbh concluded in Prayagraj as a ‘call for the change of era’ and said that the event has given the message of a new chapter of India’s development journey and this is the message of ‘Developed India’.
In an article shared through various social media forums on the completion of Mahakumbh, the Prime Minister described this grand event as the Mahakumbh of Ekta and said, “When the consciousness of a nation is awakened, when he breaks all the bonds of the mentality of hundreds of years of slavery and starts breathing in the air with new enlightenment, as we saw the same scene from January 13,”
He said that during the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj, all the deities gathered, saints, gathering, children gathered, women and youths gathered and all interviewed the awakened consciousness of the country.
He said, “This Mahakumbh was the Mahakumbh of unity, where the faith of 140 crore countrymen was together, at one time, and joined this one festival.”
The Prime Minister said that this event of Mahakumbh in Prayagraj has become a subject of renewed study for ‘Management Professionals’ (management professionals) of the modern era, planning (planning) and policy experts (policy experts).
He said that today there is no other comparison of such a huge event in the whole world, there is no such example.
He said, “The whole world is surprised how such a large number of people gathered at a river bank, at Triveni Sangam … Crores of people gathered. There was no formal invitation, nor to reach at what time, there was some prior information. Just, people walked for Mahakumbh… and got blessed by diverting into the holy confluence.”
The Prime Minister said that it was very pleasant for him to see that a large number of India’s younger generation reached Prayagraj. He said that the youth of India are a very big message to come forward to participate in the Mahakumbh in this way.
He said, “This makes the belief that the younger generation of India is the carrier of our values and culture and considers it the responsibility of taking it forward and is also determined about it, is also dedicated.”
The Prime Minister said that a few drops of water brought from Triveni by the people who have returned from Kumbh also gave the same virtue to crores of devotees like Kumbh bath and how many people came back from Kumbh in every village after the return, the way the whole society bowed his head with reverence, is unforgettable.
He said, “It has happened something that has never happened before in the last few decades. It has happened something that has been laid a foundation for many centuries to come.”
Modi said that a large number of devotees reached there than what was imagined in Prayagraj.
He said that one of the reasons for this was that the administration had also guessed the experiences of the old Kumbh, but the people close to the population of America took part in the Mahakumbh of unity, took a dip.
He said that if people doing research in the spiritual field will study this enthusiasm of crores of Indians, then you will find that India, who is proud of its legacy, is now moving forward with a new energy.
Modi said, “I believe, this is the call of change that is going to write the new future of India.”
He said that in the Mahakumbh after 144 years, new messages were given by the sages and sages in view of that time and circumstances.
He said, “Now this time after 144 years, such a full Mahakumbh has also conveyed the message of a new chapter of India’s development journey. This message is- of developed India.”
The Prime Minister said that the way every devotee in the Mahakumbh of Ekta, whether it is poor or prosperous, has come from the country or has come from abroad, from the village or the city, from the east or from the west, from the north, from the north, from the south, any caste, any ideology, all of them have become one in the Mahakumbh of Ekta.
He said, “This long-memorized view of an India-India India became the Mahaparva of the interview of confidence among millions of countrymen. Now we have to unite to gather for the Mahayagya of developed India.”
Recalling the episode of Mahabharata, in which Sri Krishna in the form of child, Goddess Yashoda had seen the universe in his face, Modi said that in this Mahakumbh, Indians and the world have seen the great form of the power of India.
He said, “We now have to move forward to fulfill the resolve of developed India, unanimous with this confidence.”
The Prime Minister said that this is such a power of India, about which the saints had raised a lot in every corner of the nation in the devotional movement.
He said that be it Vivekananda or Shri Aruobindo, everyone had made us aware of it and Mahatma Gandhi also felt during the freedom movement.
Modi said, “After independence, if we had known the great form of this power of India, and this power would have been turned towards all -round, all -round Sukhaya, then it would have become a great power of India coming out of the influences of slavery.”
He said, “But we could not do it then. Now I am satisfied, happy that this power of Janata Janardan is being united for developed India.”
Underlining the importance of rivers and their cleanliness, Modi called upon people to ‘river festival’, considering every river as a replica of life -giving mother.
The Prime Minister said that this event was not easy, but despite this, if there is any deficiency, then he apologizes to Janardan for this.
The Prime Minister said that as an MP from Uttar Pradesh, he can proudly say that under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the administration, administration and people together made the Mahakumbh of this unity successful.
He said, “Be it the center or the state, there was neither a ruler, no administrator, everyone was a servant full of reverence. Our scavengers, our policemen, sailors, drivers, food makers, all made this Mahakumbh successful by working continuously with full devotion and service.”
He said that in particular, the way the residents of Prayagraj have served the devotees by raising all the troubles in these 45 days, it is incomparable. He thanked the residents of Uttar Pradesh including Prayagraj for this.
The Prime Minister said that seeing the scenes of Mahakumbh, his faith has strengthened many times due to the bright future of the nation. He said that he will soon go to visit Jyotirlinga, Shri Somnath and pray for every Indian.
He said, “The gross form of Mahakumbh has achieved perfection on Mahashivaratri. But I believe, like the continuous stream of Maa Ganga, the stream of spiritual consciousness of Mahakumbh and stream of unity will continue to flow continuously.”
Mahakumbh began on 13 January with Paush Purnima and it ended on 26 February on Mahashivaratri.
