A video is going viral that highlights an incident at the Maha Kumbh Mela, where some individuals were seen spreading negativity and calling the festival a superstition. In the video, a group of people holding posters were seen claiming that the Kumbh Mela was nothing but superstition, and they were using microphones to spread this propaganda.
The posters carried messages like “Kumbh is a fair of superstition… if you seek liberation, awaken your mind.” It is also mentioned that these individuals were distributing books to further their argument. Upon hearing this, a group of Naga sadhus became enraged and started destroying the posters and the items associated with the camp.

The viral video shows the Naga sadhus and others kicking and yelling at the items on the ground. Later, they are seen gathering the materials and setting them on fire. The video has garnered mixed reactions on social media.
User Chandan Sharma wrote, “Hail to the lions! The Naga sadhus have set the tone. Some anti-religious individuals had set up a camp with the intention of defaming our Sanatan Dharma and the Maha Kumbh Mela, calling it superstition. When our Sanatani Hindus and Naga Babas found out, they went and demolished the camp, teaching them a lesson that Hindus have awakened.”
महाकुंभ में कुछ लोग अपनी तुच्छ मानसिकता का प्रदर्शन करते हुए पोस्टर लेकर खड़े थे कि हमारा महाकुंभ एक पाखंड है और माईक से बोलकर किताबें भी बांट रहे थे। वहां से कुछ हमारे नागा संन्यासी गुजर रहे थे। उन्हें धर्म का अपमान और सनातन संस्कृति का अपमान सहन नहीं हुआ । pic.twitter.com/zsJCcQtbFM

User Aryavart commented, “At the Maha Kumbh, some people, showing their narrow-mindedness, were standing with posters claiming that our Kumbh is a fraud, while also distributing books with a microphone. Some of our Naga sannyasis passed by and could not tolerate the disrespect to our religion and Sanatan culture.”

User Davesh Gaur added, “Dharmo Rakshati Rakshit: Vande Mataram. This incident happened on Makar Sankranti during the Amrit Snan. These people were spreading their narrow-minded ideas by holding posters that read, ‘Maha Kumbh is a fraud,’ announcing over the mic, and distributing related books. Our great Naga sannyasis could not tolerate the disrespect to our religion and culture. They gave them the treatment they are known for. Long live Hinduism, long live Sanatan culture, long live such saints. Hail to the great sadhus!”
The Maha Kumbh is a festival of great importance in Sanatan Dharma, it is a special time when the astrological alignments line up to provide a unique spiritual experience. Pilgrims and seekers from across the world have gathered to take part in this great festival. It is quite shocking that some naysayers and people with hate in their minds have decided to land up to try and ruin the experience for others. The Naga Sadhus are known as great defenders of Dharma, and it is no surprise that the dedicated sadhus could not accept the blatant disrespect being shown by the anarchists at the prestigious festival.
