00:30The auspicious moment of Mahakumbh after 144 years has come when devotees from all over the world are coming here to bathe in Sangam to put an end to their faith.
00:49As you can see, devotees from all over the world have come here from the Gurukul to bathe in the Sangam.
00:56The devotees who are taking initiation from the Gurukul have also come here to bathe in the Sangam.
01:01You can clearly see the Gurudev and his disciples' tradition here.
01:04You can see how they are bathing in the Sangam early in the morning.
01:07We are standing here after bathing in the Sangam and performing the puja.
01:13We will get to know when they came here and what is the name of the Gurudev who bathed here at this auspicious moment.
01:18My name is Acharya Rupesh Kumar Jha. We have come from Mithilanchal.
01:22We are from Madhubani district of Mithila.
01:25Lakshmivati Gurukul is a very famous village.
01:30There was a very famous person named Ayachi Mishra.
01:34He was the Vice-Chancellor of Sarganganath Jha University, Allahabad.
01:39This Gurukul is a very famous village.
01:42We have come here with 25 children.
01:45We came here yesterday morning.
01:47Let's talk about today.
01:49Today is Mahakumbh.
01:51You can understand that this auspicious moment has come after 144 years.
01:54So, it is a great thing that people have come here to bathe in this auspicious moment.
01:58So, did you bathe all of them?
02:00Yes, it is a great thing for us that we are here at this auspicious moment.
02:04First of all, we are here to take birth as human beings.
02:07Secondly, we are here to take birth in the Sanatan Hindu religion.
02:09Thirdly, we are here to take birth in the Sanatan Hindu religion.
02:12We are very fortunate that we are able to sit on the banks of the Yamuna river and perform puja.
02:20All of these children are very fortunate.
02:24We have around 125 children.
02:27But only these people have come here.
02:29Some of them had a ticket, but they could not come.
02:32And those who did not have a ticket, came here.
02:34Sir, I have a question for you.
02:36In the modern age, people are running towards English.
02:39You are telling that you have a career.
02:41But do you feel the need to open a Gurukul in Sanskrit?
02:45Our aim is to open 108 Gurukuls in the whole of Bihar.
02:52We have resigned from our three permanent jobs.
02:55We have qualified for the UGC net seven times.
02:58We have been a product of Delhi University and Kirodimal College two times.
03:02We have studied in the Lagma Brahmacharya Ashram.
03:07We want that in the whole of India, whenever there is a war in the world,
03:13there is always a danger of war in the name of religion.
03:16There is a great need to be vigilant and alert about religion.
03:20The way people are living in our Sanatan religion,
03:24that is not going to work.
03:27All people will have to come together.
03:29And for that, this Mahakumbh is a very big gathering.
03:33In which all the Sanatanis, Mahatmas from all over the world,
03:36and ordinary people will come and take a dip on this Sangam.
03:40We will take a bath in Sangam.
03:41So, this is a very fortunate opportunity for us.
03:43We would like to show you that even small disciples have come here.
03:47What is your name?
03:48My name is Ayush Kumar Jha.
03:50So, Ayush, when did you come?
03:52You must have come together.
03:53Did you take a bath?
03:54Yes.
03:55In which class do you study in the Gurukul?
03:57I have not yet written my name in the Gurukul.
03:59So, will you start teaching now?
04:01Yes.
04:02Who else is in your family?
04:04My mother, father and sister are in my family.
04:06Please recite some mantras.
04:07Please recite some mantras.
04:08Then you are going to teach in the Gurukul.
04:28What else?
04:41Please recite the Maheshwar Sutra.
04:42Do you know the Maheshwar Sutra?
04:44Yes.
04:58Wow!
04:59Amazing!
05:00So, as you can see, small disciples have come here.
05:02How to recite a shloka in Sanskrit?
05:04We have also recited the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra here.
05:06What is your name?
05:07Gaurav Kumar Mishra.
05:08Gaurav ji, in which class are you teaching in the Gurukul?
05:12Which class are you in?
05:13I am in the 2nd year of Prakash Shastri.
05:152nd semester.
05:17So, sometimes you feel that this is a modern era.
05:20People are running towards English.
05:21We are teaching in the Gurukul.
05:22We are reviving the ancient art, our culture and tradition.
05:26So, did you ever feel that your career can be in English in the future?
05:30I felt it in English.
05:32But the thing is that these days everyone is reverting to Sanatani.
05:37And Sanatani is going down.
05:41We have reached here to promote Sanatani.
05:47And we have come here because of the responsibility of this Kumbh.
05:57And we are experiencing it.
06:02What is your name?
06:04My name is Amol Kumar.
06:06In which class are you teaching in the Gurukul?
06:08I am in the 2nd year of Prakash Shastri.
06:102nd semester.
06:12So, what are your plans for the future?
06:15What do you want to do after graduating?
06:17We don't think that we are only Pandits or Simhits in Sanskrit.
06:22We want to go with modernity.
06:24Like you asked if we want to speak in English.
06:27So, I think that it is not possible to go only with the ancient history.
06:33Because the country has come forward.
06:35So, we will have to go with the modernity.
06:38And we need to pay attention to some facts of the society.
06:43And we need to work with them.
06:45And to promote Sanatani, we need to do a lot.
06:49Which has gone down a lot.
06:51And after coming here, a different positive energy is coming from inside.
06:56Because it is a pleasure to see all the saints and Mahatmas.
07:00What is your name?
07:01Shashi Shekhar Jain.
07:02Shashi Shekhar Jain.
07:03In which class are you teaching in the Gurukul?
07:05I have taken admission in the 12th class.
07:07I have got admission immediately.
07:09You said that you have studied English.
07:11I have left English studies and come here.
07:13Why is that?
07:14Because Sanskrit is a divine language.
07:17And Lord Ram also went ahead with the same Gurukul education.
07:21So, I also thought that the same Gurukul should be increased.
07:25So that people become aware.
07:27I have left English studies and come here.
07:29Sanskrit is a divine language.
07:31So, because you have left English class, you are studying Sanskrit.
07:37So, what is the difference between the two?
07:39In Sanskrit, there is a positive energy.
07:43When you hear the Vedic Mantra from a distance, you get a positive vibration.
07:50And in English, life is like a machine.
07:54It is not like that.
07:55So, how are you feeling today?
07:59I am getting a positive energy after taking a bath.
08:03Today, after taking a bath, you will study with more concentration.
08:07Yes, I will study with concentration.
08:08So, as you have seen, about 125 people have come here from Gurukul, Mithilanchal and Bihar.
08:15And here, because there is a dip in faith in Sangam, they are going with a positive energy.
08:20And they clearly say that it is okay, it is a modern era, but we have to maintain our old education there.
08:26The lack in Sanatan Dharma, we have to take it forward.
08:30We have to uplift Sanatan Dharma.
