Jharkhand Family Reunites with Lost Member After 27 Years, Now an Aghori Monk at Maha Kumbh: In a miraculous turn of events, a Jharkhand family has been reunited with their lost member after 27 long years, and this reunion happened in the most unexpected place – the Maha Kumbh Mela, which is currently underway in Prayagraj. The lost family member, Gangasagar Yadav, is now a 65-year-old Aghori monk, known as Baba Rajkumar.
The Disappearance of Gangasagar Yadav
The heart-wrenching saga began in 1998 when Gangasagar Yadav, a resident of Jharkhand, went missing after traveling to Patna. His family, led by his wife Dhanwa Devi, endured the pain of not knowing his whereabouts for nearly three decades. Gangasagar’s disappearance left his wife to raise their two young sons, Kamlesh and Vimlesh, alone.
Despite years of searching and waiting, there were no leads, and hope began to fade. The family had long given up hope of ever finding Gangasagar again. Little did they know, destiny had a different plan in store for them.
The Unexpected Discovery at Kumbh Mela
In a twist of fate, a relative of the Yadav family who was attending the ongoing Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj recognized a man resembling Gangasagar. The relative took a photograph of the man, which was promptly sent to the family back in Jharkhand. Upon receiving the photo, the family felt an overwhelming sense of recognition and quickly traveled to Prayagraj, hoping against hope that it might indeed be their long-lost family member.
When the family arrived at the Kumbh Mela and met the man, whom they now identified as Baba Rajkumar, they were initially unsure. However, the family was certain that this was Gangasagar. They pointed out several physical features that connected him to their missing relative, such as his long teeth, an injury on his forehead, and a scar on his knee that had been present since his childhood.
Baba Rajkumar’s Denial of His Identity
Despite the family’s emotional plea, Baba Rajkumar, the man now known as an Aghori monk, refused to acknowledge his past life as Gangasagar Yadav. He insisted that he was a Sadhu from Varanasi and denied any connection to his former identity. Baba Rajkumar claimed to have renounced his past, now living a life devoted to spirituality and the Aghori practices.
This denial from the man who resembled Gangasagar left the family in a state of confusion and heartbreak. However, they did not give up on their search and insisted that this man was indeed their loved one. The family presented details that only someone close to Gangasagar would know, hoping to convince him to return to his old life.
Family’s Plea for a DNA Test
Determined to confirm the true identity of the man they believed to be Gangasagar, the family made an emotional appeal. Dhanwa Devi and her brother-in-law, Murli Yadav, requested a DNA test to prove their claim. Murli Yadav, speaking to the media, said, “We will wait until the end of the Kumbh Mela, and if necessary, insist on a DNA test. If the test doesn’t match, we will issue an apology to Baba Rajkumar.”
In the meantime, while some family members returned home, others remained at the Mela, closely observing Baba Rajkumar and his companion, Sadhvi. The family was prepared to take legal action if the DNA test proved that Baba Rajkumar was indeed their missing relative, Gangasagar.
The Emotional Impact of the Disappearance
Gangasagar’s disappearance had a profound impact on his family, especially his two young children. When he went missing, his elder son was just two years old, and his younger son had not yet been born. His absence was a wound that never healed for his family, and the emotional toll was immense.
Dhanwa Devi had to raise her children single-handedly, enduring the pain of not knowing what had happened to her husband. The uncertainty of Gangasagar’s fate had cast a shadow over the family for years, and the reunion, if confirmed, would be the end of a long and painful journey.
The Final Steps: Awaiting Results
As the Maha Kumbh Mela progresses, the Yadav family remains hopeful that their search will end in a reunion with Gangasagar, even if he no longer identifies with his past. The family is patiently awaiting the outcome of the DNA test that may hold the key to confirming whether the man they met is truly their lost family member.
The case has garnered significant attention, and the emotional story of a family’s reunion after nearly three decades is resonating with many across the nation. Whether the DNA test will prove their claim or not, the Yadav family’s unwavering hope and determination are a testament to the power of love and the bond of family.
A Story of Hope, Love, and Determination
Gangasagar’s disappearance and the eventual search for him after 27 years reflect a universal story of hope, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of answers. The Kumbh Mela, a place of spiritual significance and gathering for millions of pilgrims, has turned out to be the place where a family’s journey for closure and reunion has come to a head.
The Yadav family’s story has touched many hearts, and no matter the final outcome, it serves as a reminder of the deep connections we share with those we love, even if time and distance separate us.
