New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday appealed to the Sant Samaj to keep the Kumbh in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, “symbolic” in view of the fast-growing cases of infection with Coronavirus Pandemic. A strong fight could be fought against this epidemic. The Prime Minister gave this information by tweeting that he spoke to Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Swami Awadheshanand Giri on the phone and during this time he appealed to the Sant Samaj.
He said, “I have prayed that two royal baths have taken place and now the Kumbh should be kept symbolic due to the crisis of Corona.” This will give strength to the fight against this crisis. ” In another tweet, the Prime Minister said that by talking to Swami Awadheshanand, he learned about the health of all the saints. He said, “All the saints are supporting the administration in every way.” I thanked the saint world for this. “
Mahakumbh has been reduced to three royal baths — Mahashivratri, Somavati Amavasya, and Baisakhi — for a period of one month due to Covid-19, while the last royal bath is to take place on the festival of Ramnavami. A large number of saints and devotees who reached Haridwar for Kumbh are getting infected with the Corona virus.
