Mahamandaleshwar Sanjana Nand Giri, the revered head of the Kamakhya Devi Shakti Peeth, recently visited Mumbai and engaged with the media. During the interaction, she spoke about the significance of Kamakhya Dham, the Kumbh Mela, and the essence of unity in the country.
Kamakhya Dham: Equivalent to Visiting the Four Dhams
According to Mahamandaleshwar Sanjana Nand Giri, a visit to Kamakhya Dham is an unparalleled spiritual experience. She emphasized that those who visit this sacred site receive the blessings equivalent to undertaking pilgrimages to the four major Dhams. Kamakhya Dham, located in Assam, is believed to be a powerhouse of divine energy, attracting devotees from across the globe.
The Divine Presence of Maa Kamakhya
Maa Kamakhya is believed to be present at the temple in a unique, awakened form. Mahamandaleshwar shared that the goddess manifests herself in ways beyond human understanding. “She resides here in her Kanjak form,” she noted, adding that her wish for her next birth is to be born at Kamakhya Dham. “There is no place in the world as extraordinary as Kamakhya,” she remarked, expressing regret for not being born there in her current lifetime.
Kamakhya Sindoor: A Rare Blessing
Kamakhya Sindoor, a sacred vermilion associated with the temple, holds immense spiritual value. This rare sindoor is considered a symbol of fortune and divine blessings. Mahamandaleshwar explained that only a limited quantity is available and that it is often sent to prominent figures like members of the armed forces and the Prime Minister. However, she warned devotees about counterfeit Kamakhya Sindoor.
Dispelling Myths Around Kamakhya
Addressing misconceptions about Kamakhya Dham, particularly its association with black magic and occult practices, Mahamandaleshwar firmly debunked such claims. She urged people to visit the temple and experience its sanctity before forming any opinions. “These are baseless rumors. Kamakhya is a place of unparalleled spiritual upliftment, not superstition,” she asserted.
A Message of Unity
Beyond Kamakhya Dham, Mahamandaleshwar Sanjana Nand Giri also emphasized the importance of unity and spiritual growth in fostering national harmony. She highlighted how sacred sites like Kamakhya Dham serve as a unifying force for the country’s diverse population.
Her visit to Mumbai was a testament to her mission of spreading spiritual awareness and encouraging individuals to connect with India’s rich heritage.
