60–65 crore at Kumbh — equal to Europe + USA. Why Sanatan Dharma is India’s greatest integrator, not a divisive force.
Opening with the staggering scale of Mahakumbh 2025 — where 40 crore bathed in a single day — this panel makes the economic and civilisational case for investing in Hindu institutions. Dr. Abhay Singh details how Kumbh infrastructure spending followed massive investments in roads, airports, and medical universities, generating employment and local economic uplift.
Sadhvi Divya Prabha, a UK-raised woman who returned to India drawn by Sanatan Dharma, shares her transformation from corporate emptiness to spiritual completeness — a powerful personal testimony to the relevance of Yoga Darshan and Hindu philosophy for modern, Western-educated minds. The session frames itihasa as a living, integrating force, not a historical relic.
