Chennai: Kanchi Shankaracharya Swami Vijayendra Saraswati has appealed to the devotees to participate in the Mahakumbh at Prayagraj and take a dip in the Holy Ganga. He emphasised the need to maintain the sanctity and purity of the river Ganga by paying obeisance to Her.

With the spiritual event being held after an interval of 12 years, all those believing in Santana Dharma should visit Prayagraj and have a dip in the Ganga, the Kanchi seer said in a statement here. He expressed his heartfelt happiness on the scenes of a large number of people taking a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam at the beginning of Prayagraj Mahakumbh.

"The importance of Ganga can be found in the Vedas and Puranas and in our Sanatan religious tradition of thousands of years. Not only our sages and saints but also the incarnation of God Lord Adi Shankaracharya took holy dip in the Ganga and performed meditation," he said. Ganga was not merely a river but a holy pilgrimage spot on sacred land of India. Recalling Adi Shankaracharya's visits to the 12 Jyotirlingas and Shakti Peeth, he said, "Adi Shankara specially praised mother Ganga.
