The Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj has become a remarkable demonstration of global unity and spiritual harmony, with an astounding 420 million devotees gathering at the sacred Sangam—the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers. This massive congregation has exceeded government estimates, drawing participants from diverse faiths, including Hindus, Christians, and other religious groups, fostering an unparalleled sense of togetherness.
HRDS INDIA and Kochi Shipyard Join Hands to Support Pilgrims
HRDS INDIA, a non-governmental organization, has collaborated with Kochi Shipyard Limited to provide essential services to the attendees. To ensure that no devotee goes hungry, they are distributing free meals on a large scale. Additionally, the organization has set up shelters for Lord Shiva devotees, offering them a place to rest as they embark on their spiritual journey and take a holy dip in the Ganga.
Recognizing the importance of health and well-being, HRDS INDIA is also providing Ayurvedic treatments to worshippers. Moreover, its volunteers are actively involved in maintaining cleanliness around the pilgrimage site, preserving the sanctity of the event for millions of visitors.
A Gathering of Prominent Leaders and Global Icons
This year’s Kumbh Mela has attracted an array of distinguished personalities, including India’s Prime Minister, President, state ministers, chief ministers, and union ministers. Business tycoons such as Gautam Adani, Mukesh Ambani, and Kumar Mangalam Birla have also graced the event, along with Laurene Powell Jobs, the wife of the late Steve Jobs.
Guru Atma Nambi emphasized that the overwhelming global participation reflects the Kumbh Mela’s profound message of unity, spiritual harmony, and equality. He described it as a worldwide celebration of faith, transcending religious and cultural boundaries. Among the devotees who took the holy dip alongside the spiritual leader were Aji Krishnan, Founder-Secretary of HRDS INDIA, Saji V. Karunakaran (OSD), as well as Jagadish and Jaya from the USA.
