The ancient Sanatan culture is increasingly attracting today’s youth, particularly those from professional and glamorous backgrounds. Anchors, models, and engineers, both from India and abroad, are embracing the spiritual essence of Sanatan Dharma, and the Mahakumbh serves as a prominent platform for these transformations.
Among the many inspiring stories emerging from the Mahakumbh is that of Harsha, a young woman from Uttarakhand who left behind a thriving career in the national and international glamour industry. She took spiritual initiation under Swami Kailashananda Giri.

Reflecting on her journey, she said: “A life filled with superficial glamour left me feeling empty. I realized true happiness and peace lie in the teachings of Sanatan Dharma. After taking initiation, I discovered a deeper purpose in life.”
Similarly, Abhay Singh, famously known as “Engineer Baba,” has become a source of inspiration. A former Aerospace Engineering student from IIT Bombay and a resident of Haryana, Abhay uses his scientific background to elucidate spiritual concepts. Through diagrams and presentations, he bridges the gap between science and spirituality, making complex teachings accessible to modern minds.
He remarked: “Science explains the physical world, but delving deeper inevitably leads to spirituality. A true understanding of life naturally draws one closer to Sanatan Dharma.”
The ongoing Mahakumbh is not just a congregation of millions but a testament to the growing convergence of modern professions and traditional spirituality. Personalities like Harsha and Engineer Baba exemplify how individuals are rediscovering peace and fulfillment through Sanatan Dharma.
This transformation highlights the enduring relevance of ancient wisdom in a fast-paced, material-driven world. The Mahakumbh stands as a powerful symbol of how spirituality can enrich the lives of professionals and youth, offering them solace and stability amid modern challenges.
