In a historic event, three Shankaracharyas from prominent Hindu Peeths released a 27-point 'Dharmadesh' at the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj. The directive highlights the importance of protecting the cow as the "Mother of the Nation" and calls for the recognition of religious education as a fundamental right of Hindus.

The renowned spiritual leader and Bhagwat Katha orator, Devkinandan Thakurji Maharaj, will lead a Dharma Sansad at the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj.

Prominent Hindu saints and religious leaders, including Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Sadanand Saraswati and Jagadguru Nimbarkacharya ShriJi Maharaj, are expected to attend. The Dharma Sansad holds significant importance for the welfare and security of Sanatan Dharma and its followers.
Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Ji suggests that those who cannot attend the grand Mahakumbh can still receive the same spiritual benefits through the sacred water. This year's Mahakumbh, held once every 12 years, has an added significance due to a rare celestial alignment. People can also use Gangajal for their holy bath and perform charitable deeds for full spiritual rewards. Special services and initiatives, like the Triveni Sangam Water Delivery Service, are available for those who cannot attend the event.
Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati has demanded that the cow be declared the "National Mother," and cow slaughter be made a punishable crime. He also called for the reservation of the Kumbh Mela exclusively for Hindus, and announced plans for a grand yagna during the event. The Hindu saint also appointed representatives to oversee cow protection in each state and called on Hindus to uphold their faith and the significance of cow protection.
