‘Sanatan Mahakumbh a call for cultural unity'

Buxar: Former Union minister and senior BJP leader Ashwini Kumar Choubey visited Buxar on Thursday as part of a Janjagran Abhiyan to promote the upcoming Sanatan Mahakumbh, scheduled for July 6 at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. Addressing a press conference, Choubey said the event was more than a religious gathering. "The Mahakumbh is a socio-cultural Mahayagna for national awakening. It aims to revive Sanatan values, promote social harmony and reinforce India's cultural unity," he said. "If Sanatan exists, the nation exists and so do political parties. All Hindus and Muslims in this country are Sanatanis," he added. Choubey confirmed that the event would see participation from Shankaracharyas, Mahamandaleshwars, religious leaders and cultural organisations nationwide. Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Swami Shri Rambhadracharya Ji Maharaj and the heads of major Akhadas and Vedic institutions are also expected to attend. A key highlight will be an ideological seminar on the theme 'Waiting for Lord Parashuram'. "The theme represents an awakened social consciousness, one that stands against injustice, upholds equality and furthers nation-building through Sanatan culture," Choubey said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo He urged people from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan to attend and bring conches (shankhs) from home. "When thousands of conches are blown together at Gandhi Maidan, it will be a sight to behold," he said. Reiterating an earlier demand, Choubey called for a grand statue of Lord Ram to be installed in Buxar, his Karmabhoomi. He also revealed that renovations of the long-neglected Light and Sound House near Ramrekha Ghat are nearing completion. With Rs 6 crore sanctioned by the ministry of tourism, the site will soon feature a laser and light show based on epics like the Ramayana.
