The Akhara area of Mahakumbh, which is going to be held in January on the banks of Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh, is slowly starting to brighten up. Sanyasis have entered the camps of Akharas. Amazing sages and saints who have come from every corner of the country have started appearing here. As soon as you enter the Akhara sector of Mahakumbh and come to the camp of Avahan Akhara, you will see different types of sadhus.
One of these is Mahant Shravan Giri, who came to Mahakumbh from Narsinghpur in Madhya Pradesh. In one hand he holds a rosary for chanting the name of Lord Ganesha, while in the other hand he holds a dog leash. For them, redness is not a dumb animal but a part of their spiritual practice. Mahant Shravan Giri tells that while going from Prayagraj to Kashi during the Kumbh of 2019, he got redness on the way. Lali has been with him since then.
Lali’s family planning
Mahant Shravan Giri’s Lali is also completely celibate. Shravan Giri says that Lali’s family planning has been done. Not only this, he has also got Lali’s health card made, in which she gets free treatment. Mahant Shravan Giri is not the only pet lover in the Akhara sector of Mahakumbh. Many women also live with female saints. Mahant Purna Giri, who came to Mahakumbh from Khairabad Ashram in Gurgaon, is seen everywhere with her dog Angad.
Angad’s grooming
Purna Giri, a disciple of Shri Mahant Pahari Baba in Khairabad, says that Angad is like her bodyguard for her. Whenever she goes for deep meditation, Angad sits at the threshold of the ashram and waits for her to complete her meditation. Purna Giri tells that she does not spend that much time in getting ready for her sadhana, she spends more time in decorating Angad.
