After a long gap of 144 years, Prayagraj is going to witness the wonderful and divine event of Mahakumbh again in 2025. This Mahakumbh, organized at the holy Triveni Sangam of Ganga, Yamuna and invisible Saraswati, is not just a religious ritual but a unique example of humanity, devotion and service. On this auspicious occasion, Narayan Seva Sansthan has pledged to serve millions of devotees and the needy through its special “Bhandara Seva”.

Spiritual significance of Mahakumbh

The tradition of Mahakumbh has been going on for ages. It is considered a festival of religion, devotion and self-purification. The followers of Sanatan Dharma believe that by taking a shahi snan (bath) in Kumbh, all the sins of a man are destroyed and he attains salvation.

People from every class, every age and every region participate in this event. There is a tradition of purifying one’s soul and getting the blessings of God by taking a dip in Mahakumbh. But the real beauty of this event lies in its spirit of service.

Bhandara Seva of Narayan Seva Sansthan

Crores of devotees come to Maha Kumbh and in such a big event, it is a big challenge to fulfill the basic needs of the devotees like food. Narayan Seva Sansthan is going to organize “Bhandara Seva” in this Maha Kumbh. Through which free food will be provided to the devotees visiting Maha Kumbh.

Importance of donation

Donating is considered one of the biggest virtuous deeds in Hinduism. Especially on a holy occasion like Maha Kumbh, the importance of donation increases manifold. It is said in Shrimad Bhagwat Gita:

दातव्यमिति यद्दानं दीयतेऽनुपकारिणे।

Daatvyamiti yaddanam diyate’anupkarine.

देशे काले च पात्रे च तद्दानं सात्त्विकं स्मृतम्।।

Deshe kale cha paatra cha taddanam sattvikam smritam.

The donation which is given considering it as a duty, without the expectation of any reward, at the right time and place and to a deserving person engaged in spiritual work, is considered Sattvik donation.

Donation of food during Maha Kumbh not only fulfills the needs of the people but also provides peace to the soul and God’s grace.

A confluence of devotion and service

Mahakumbh is not just a religious ritual; it is also a festival of service and dedication. Narayan Seva Sansthan’s “Bhandara Seva” symbolizes that religion is not limited to only spiritual liberation. The real meaning of religion is to serve others, help them and spread the message of love in the society.
