Mahakumbh Nagar, Prayagraj. Just like all you tribal brothers have come to Mahakumbh with your customs, tradition, culture with ease, all the saints will have to go to the forest region again and again to experience the purity and simplicity of vanvasi life, because without harmony with the tribal society this Mahakumbh of Sanatan culture will not be complete, said Pujya Swami Avdheshanand Giri Maharaj Ji.
Swami Avdheshanand Ji said this while giving blessings in Janjati Yuva Kumbh organized by Akhil Bharatiya Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram in Prayagraj Mahakumbh. Expressing his views, Swami Ji further said that, all of us saints and those who understand their responsibility towards Aranyak culture will have to go to the Van kshetra again and again, and mingle with you, have food together. Because we are integral parts of the same Sanatan Dharma.
On this occasion, Mahamandleshwar Swami Raghunath Bappaji Maharaj (Farshi Wale Baba), Union Minister of State for Tribal Affairs Durgadas Ji Uike, National President of Kalyan Ashram Satyendra Singh Ji, former President of National Commission for Scheduled Tribes Harsh Chauhan, PadmaShri Chaitram Ji Pawar and other dignitaries were present.
While delivering the keynote address, former President of NCST Harsh Chauhan Ji spoke about the importance of this Kumbh and the efforts being made to protect the identity and existence of the tribal society. This Mahakumbh, a symbol of Sanatan culture, is actually the original form of the consciousness of Aranyak culture.
Mahamandleshwar Raghunath Bappa Farshiwale Ji said tribal society is a part of Sanatan in every aspect and no one can separate it and no one can stay away from it for a long time. Our living with nature means carrying fruits, flowers, natural resources with us in our lives, this is a matter of experience which we can see in this Kumbh.
Expressing his views on this occasion, Minister of State for Tribal Affairs, Government of India, Durgadas Uike Ji said that, anti-social forces working behind the scenes are trying to change the tribal society in every way by luring it through discussions and social media. Youths like you should take initiative against this. They should be countered with their weapons because history is witness that whenever the youth has taken the reins of the struggle, change has happened. Therefore, you should take this message from here that the transformative youth will bring change in the Janajati region as well.
National President of Kalyan Ashram Satyendra Singh Ji, while interacting with the youth, said that what we know and believe about our society should be presented through various mediums. Accordingly, he called upon the youth to make their own image, study and gain the ability to lead their society with a fighting spirit.
Some prominent youth activists expressed their views as a pledge for the purpose for which this conference of tribal youth from all over the country was organized. Which included activists like Laxmanraj Singh Markam, Jitendra Dhruv, Meena Murmu, Dr. Ram Shankar Oraon, Arvind Bhil etc.
Swami Avdheshanand Ji also specially honored Chaitram Pawar Ji, senior activist and social worker of Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram, who was recently awarded the Padma Shri award. Thousands of youth from all regions and provinces of the country participated in this program which was held in a very dignified manner. The program was anchored by Firoz Uike.
