Like every time, this time too, a large number of sadhus and saints are being seen at this fair and their videos are becoming increasingly viral on social media.
A video related to this fair has recently gone viral on social media. In the video, a sadhu is seen talking to a reporter in his tent. But during the conversation, everything suddenly changes. The sadhu, who seemed angry with the reporter's question, got irritated and hit the reporter with a tong and pushed him out of the tent. In the video, the sadhu can be heard saying, "Are you guys watching, what wrong did he say?"
Different reactions were received on social media.
As soon as this video was uploaded on social media, it went viral and has received more than 20 million views so far. Various reactions came in the comment section of the video. One user wrote, "This is what will happen if you trouble a saint." At the same time, some users termed this incident as wrong and said that true saints never use abusive language.
Another also said, “It is completely unacceptable that a saint who has dedicated his life to God should use abusive language.” Many people questioned that saints should practice meditation and peace, but what he is doing is completely different from that. What has he achieved by raising his hands?”
Kumbh Mela: Once in 144 years, of special religious significance
This year's Maha Kumbh Mela is being organized after 12 years, but the saints believe that this year's event holds special importance due to astronomical coincidences, because this coincidence occurs only once in 144 years. Because of this, this fair is being considered even more sacred.
Crores of devotees participated in the first 'Amrit Snan', which is an important religious ritual of the Kumbh Mela and coincides with Makar Sankranti. This ritual is especially considered a symbol of purity and purification. A day earlier on Monday, the first big bath took place in the Sangam area on the occasion of Paush Purnima. Saints from reputed akhadas also participated in the first 'Amrit Snan', making the occasion even more special.
