Notedly, PM Modi says Mahakumbh reflects spirit of rising India, fine example of ‘sabka saath’ philosophy
Following the conclusion of the Maha Kumbh, the UP government resolved to deliver Sangam water as ‘Maha Prasad’ to devotees across the state who could not attend the event
However, with burgeoning overseas interest, requests have started coming in from abroad and the initial international consignment — comprising 1,000 glass bottles of Ganga water has been sent to Germany.
Adding that this shipment was facilitated by Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Swami Avdheshanand Giri of Shri Panch Dashnam Juna Akhara and intended for devotees in Germany who couldn’t make it to the pilgrimage.
As per Rajiv Kumar Singh, Deputy Commissioner of the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) in Prayagraj, the holy Ganga water is being packaged and supplied by the Nari Shakti Mahila Prerna Sankul-level committee from Jasra.
Committee in-charge Namita Singh revealed that the self-help group has already distributed more than 50,000 bottles of Triveni water, including a recent shipment to the Shiv Shambhu Group Society in Nagpur. The domestic consignments were sent in 500 ml bottles, while the consignments to Germany were dispatched in 250 ml bottles.
The Fire Department supported the distribution across all 75 districts of UP. During this ongoing process, Sant Raja Ramdas of Param Shivam Shiv Mandir Yogashram in Guwahati arrived at the Triveni Sangam with a private tanker from Assam.
With the assistance from Prayagraj Chief Fire Officer (CFO) Pramod Sharma and his team, the tanker was filled and sent back to Assam, further extending the spiritual reach of the holy Triveni water, according to the statement.
