Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) | January 10, 2025 8:12:28 PM IST
As the 2025 Maha Kumbh nears its commencement date and the devotees are gathering at the holy Sangam in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj, Sumeru Peethadhishwar Shankaracharya Narendranand Saraswati said that Uniform Civil Code and population control should be put into effect.

Speaking to ANI Shankaracharaya Narendranand Saraswati said, "Sanatan Board is fine but Uniform Civil Code (UCC), population control should be put into effect in this country. The mathas and temples that are under government control should be freed of their control. There should be 'ghar wapasi', expansion of Sanatana. Country will strengthen when several people who have left Sanatana come back to it. Wherever the population of Sanatani Hindus went down, talks of separatism, insurgency and divides go on there..."

Meanwhile, Moksha Puri Baba, a spiritual seeker from New Mexico, has become a prominent figure at the ongoing Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj. Born in the United States, he is closely associated with the revered Juna Akhara and has dedicated his life to the practice and promotion of Sanatan Dharma.

Speaking to ANI, Moksha Puri Baba shared insights into his unique journey, stating, "My earlier life, I did many things, including working in the military, doing sports fishing. From past life experiences the care is over and I was taught some things early on about Sanatan Dharma and Buddhism."

He also recounted how his life took a transformative turn when he met his wife on the Island of Hawaii. "I met my wife on the Island of Hawaii and that's where we had a mutual connection, a deep connection with the Sanatan Dharma, which eventually brought us here to Prayagraj, 25 years ago," he said.

Moksha Puri Baba's deep connection to Indian culture and spirituality led him to leave behind his Western lifestyle and embrace the traditional practices of Sanatan Dharma. At the Kumbh Mela, he is actively engaged in promoting meditation, yoga, and the profound teachings of Indian philosophy.

His simple lifestyle and spiritual wisdom have drawn the attention of thousands of devotees and visitors, making him a symbol of cross-cultural harmony. (ANI)
