Prayag Raj Maha Kumbh - 2025

Sharing a few photos of Prayagraj Maha kumbh congregation, which will come now after another 144 years (A Kumbh congregation takes palce after every12 years at four different places Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nasik and Ujjain in India.12X12;-12 kumbhs after 12 years each). One felt fortunate to be part of it, part of the Sanatan Dharm parampara, blessed to be at a place where unknown Siddhas, Yogis, Dharmacharyas, Nagas, Dandis, Parivrajaks, Aghoris, Lamas and a sea of sanatan devotees gathered to have a dip in Ganges and listen to all the kathas of Ramayan, Bhagwatam, Purans etc being continuously shared by innumerable Katha vachaks to millions and millions of devotees drawn from metros, cities, districts and smallest of the villages near and far in India as well as devotees from all over the world. All the thorught 24 hours, there was continous flow of spiritual energy. Even if one went to meditative sleep, different names of lord in the form of Shri Ram, Shri Krishna, Primordial Mother kept on reverberating in ones ears, whether one wanted or not. Felt as if one was being purged of all negative thoughts and new energy of the spiritual awakening of next level was being provided by the visiting high souls. 

                                               

                                       Four Sites where Kumb Melas are held in India

Watching the faith of millions in the Sanatan Parampara, one realized how it endured the onslaught of the invaders. Teachng of our Vedas, Upnishads, Puranas, 6 Darshans, Shruti, Smritis, which are the building blocks of our Dharma, survived everything, without teachng us violation, never ever attacked any other religious philosophy. The teaching class (Brahmins) never pursued the path of material possessions, instead advocated the path of renunciation for themselves. The Martial class Ksharias, always fought the invaders to protect our homeland, ourculture; Vaishya class provided the necessary wealth and Kshudras served all, thus created a vary harmonious Vedic parampara society where all ived in peace. Our rishis, taught every body and they were offering in moksha free to the seekers. 

It was a once in a life time, one of its kind, biggest event on the face of our mother Earth to be attended by 44 Crores (1 Crore = 10 million) people over a period of approximately 45 days. On special bathing days, almost 2 Crore people took dip in the holy sangam, which is total population of Australia. Really mesmerizing. Coming back from there,  one feels empty and wish to be there again. Next time one would stay all the 45 days in the Kumbh kshetra (area). One felt it is the presence of great Ganga ji which is holding all the Sanatan Dharm followers in its fold. None can separate Ganga, Bharat adn Sanatan Dharma, a sleeping behemoth, at peace with its surroundings, teaching a lesson of love and respect for all till it is awakened. Jai Sanatan.

Thisis the place lord Krishna performed many yajnas and invoked the waters of all the four oceans to come establish themselves in the well  of water there. It is said if you drink the water of the well with any sankalp it will fructify. Staying here for three nights and performing spiritual sadhana is greatly beneficial.
