Reviving Sanatan Traditions: 'Shahi Snan' Renamed as 'Amrit Snan'

'Amrit Snan'

A significant cultural shift has emerged from Ujjain to Prayagraj as part of an initiative to remove Mughal-era terminologies from Sanatan religious traditions and ceremonies.

In a landmark move, the sacred bathing ritual at the Kumbh Mela has been renamed ‘Amrit Snan’, replacing the earlier term ‘Shahi Snan.’

Reconstruction of Religious Traditions

This initiative aims to restore the original essence of Sanatan Dharma by eliminating foreign influences in terminology. The term 'Amrit Snan' draws inspiration from Indian mythology and spiritual heritage, emphasizing the purity and sanctity of the ritual.

Traditionally associated with millions of devotees, including Naga Sadhus and saints taking a holy dip, the renaming reflects a deeper spiritual significance, replacing the royal connotation of the word 'Shahi' with the divine essence of 'Amrit.'

A Step Towards Cultural Awareness

Experts believe this change seeks to strengthen the roots of Sanatan Dharma by promoting terms intrinsic to its identity. The transformation has been positively received by devotees at the Prayagraj Kumbh, with many appreciating the move as a step toward cultural and spiritual revival.

Significance of 'Amrit Snan'

The ‘Amrit Snan’ holds unparalleled importance in the Kumbh Mela, considered the most auspicious ritual of the event. Scheduled based on specific planetary alignments, it is believed that bathing on this day absolves individuals of all sins.

The ritual, accompanied by grand processions of Naga Sadhus and saints, enhances the sacredness and magnificence of the event.

This initiative to reclaim and restore Sanatan traditions may set a precedent for other religious and cultural ceremonies, fostering a renewed sense of pride and awareness in India’s spiritual heritage.
