Akhadas showed sensitivity on Mauni Amavasya Amrit Snan

The second Amrit Snan festival of the Mahakumbh of faith held on the banks of Triveni concluded. According to the information given by the administration, crores of people took a holy dip till 6 pm on the Amrit Snan festival of Mauni Amavasya. After the incident that happened in Mahakumbh, the saints of the Akharas showed sensitivity. This was the first time when sadhus, saints, Naga sanyasis and Akharas broke the pledge of the historic first bath in Sangam. In view of the situation, the Akharas postponed their Amrit Snan of Brahma Muhurta and gave the devotees the opportunity to bathe first. Mahant Ravindra Puri, President of All India Akhara Parishad, says that all the Akharas unanimously decided that in view of the situation, the devotees should be given the opportunity to bathe first. When the situation became normal, the Akharas abandoned their tradition of grand Amrit Snan and performed the tradition by bathing symbolically.
