These events are moments of divine celebration, sacred learning, and collective upliftment, drawing saints, disciples, and devotees from across India and the world.
Annual Dharm Sansads
The Annual Dharm Sansads organized by Shri Panch Digambar Ani Akhara are grand assemblies of saints, acharyas, scholars, and dharma-gurus who gather to deliberate on pressing spiritual, cultural, and social issues from the standpoint of Sanatan Dharma.
Kumbh Dharm Sansad
Held during the Kumbh Melas (Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, Nashik), this is the most significant gathering where Akharas come together to discuss dharmic, national, and cultural concerns. It includes spiritual resolutions, religious leadership decisions, and saintly addresses to the nation.
Magh Mela Dharm Sansad
Held annually during Magh Mela in Prayagraj, this Sansad focuses on scriptural dialogue, spiritual reforms, and issues affecting pilgrimages, akhara traditions, and the Sanatan path.
Chaturmas Dharm Sansad
Organized during the sacred Chaturmas period (four holy months), this Sansad includes in-depth discussions on sadhana, Vedic study, and promoting inner discipline. It’s often held in major branch ashrams or pilgrimage centers.
Simhastha Dharm Sansad
Coinciding with the Simhastha Kumbh in Ujjain, this Sansad brings together Naga sadhus, Mahamandaleshwars, and dharma gurus to reaffirm Akhara unity and strengthen ties between Shaiva, Vaishnava, and other traditions.
Emergency Dharm Sansads
Occasionally convened to respond to urgent religious or national matters, such as the Ram Mandir issue, protection of temples, or social reform based on dharmic values.
Ganga Aarti and Yatras
Every evening, as the sun sets and the sacred Ganga flows in serene majesty, Juna Akhara sadhus and devotees gather on the riverbank to perform the Ganga Aarti—a deeply symbolic and spiritually uplifting ritual dedicated to Mother Ganga.
🔱 What Happens During the Aarti
Sacred chants and bhajans fill the air as priests wave oil lamps in synchronized motions.Large brass aarti diyas (lamps) glow brightly, symbolizing light over darkness and purity over ego. Devotees offer flowers, incense, and camphor flames to the river, seeking blessings and inner peace. The sound of conch shells and bells echoes, creating an atmosphere of divine energy and devotion.
🔱 Where and When
Held daily at sunset on the banks of the Ganga in Haridwar, Varanasi, or Kumbh Mela sites. Special Aartis during Maha Shivratri, Kumbh Mela, and other holy days draw thousands of seekers.
