Kumbh Mela Is So Much More Than A Religious Gathering

If I tell any modern age person to believe in the fact that by bathing in sacred river during specific dates can wash away all their sins, this information may not intrigue them.

But, the way the kumbha mela is still celebrated by Hindus and still remains the largest congregation of humanity on earth will indeed make the current generation curious to know more about the grand event. Nobody knows when was the exact time this festival was initiated. What remains unchanged over these years is that these massive gathering has taken place since ages and nothing till date has come in the way of this glorious festival of faith and joy.

It is indeed ironic to know that such a festival has also survived the modern age of logic and skepticism and people still attend the Kumbh Mela in large numbers. Let’s dive into the sea of Kumbh Mela to know that apart from the Hindu rituals what else takes place at the massive gathering.

 1. The Meeting and Exchange of Thoughts Between The Hindu Spiritual Leaders

Kumbha Mela is the only place where all the hindu holy men, spiritual leaders and devotees converge to celebrate faith. It is a gathering where meet and exchange their divine thoughts. They discuss various ideas to restore faith of modernized human beings in spirituality. From Shankaracharyas to Naga Sadhus, all the holy men congregate to celebrate faith. Kumbh Mela gives an amazing opportunity for devotees to know more about their culture and to gather some knowledge from the holy legends. It is the best time for people to begin their spiritual journeys and awaken themselves.

2. Educating The Masses About The Ideal Way To Live Life While Living In A Modern World

The current life in the modern era is undoubtedly stressful and the generation has certainly forgotten the ideal lifestyle to follow. Gatherings like Kumbha Mela, exposes the general crowd to great masters who follow the Sanatana Dharma. This way the common man has an opportunity to learn about the principles of Dharma and wake up his soul to walk on the path to salvation or nirvana.

Also, various social issues can be discussed on a larger scale and views of the great spiritual leaders can be taken which could further help in nation building and finding the solution of bigger problems in a more simplified way within boundaries of our rich culture.

 

3.The Yoga Affair

Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that is directed towards the union of mind, body and soul. One may find thousands of people performing Yoga inside the Kumbha Mela Kshetra/zone. Kumbha Mela gives a chance to the world to learn this ancient and the most divine form of practice that leads to spiritual awakening. Yoga practices are based on various schools of thoughts and Kumbha Mela witnesses a congregation of people performing the several variations of Yoga. From Hatha Yoga to Raja Yoga, the great yogis from throughout the world assemble at the Kumbh Mela in India.

The Simhastha 2016 Kumbh Mela Ujjain gives the world a golden opportunity that should not be missed. Yoga Kumbha 2016 will be held during the Simhastha Kumbh Mela where the great Yoga Masters, spiritual leaders and philosophers from across the globe will gather to share their wisdom with the world. With hundreds of seminars, workshops and conferences to be held during the Yoga Kumbha 2016, people will get a chance to explore the less known world of Yoga, the science related to it, its different forms, techniques, new modifications, and research work done in the field.

4. Technology Meets Spirituality

There are plethora of challenges which are faced by the organisation authorities during Simhastha Kumbh Mela. Handling the crowd, food, security, housing, and transportation for one of the largest gatherings in the world is a huge task in itself. It is indeed an opportunity for people to learn and witness about how the authorities manage each and everything so well at the Kumbh Mela.

In recent times, some of the best technologies have been used to manage the basic needs at the Kumbha Mela that include thousands of CCTV Cameras, drone cameras, geo fencing, ozone cleaning of rivers and many more.

Recently, an application was developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the devotees and authorities at Kumbh Mela to access the facilities in a much faster and organised way. This indeed helped the people and authorities to live through one of the most crowded festivals in a comfortable way. This application was used at the Nashik Kumbha Mela in 2015.

 

5. Soul Purification

Kumbha Mela is one of the best place for people who are on their path to self-discovery. Living in an ephemeral town for a month-long celebration of faith and spirituality can lead to opening of the gates of higher consciousness for an individual. The air, water and the environment as a whole is filled with positivity that has a divine effect on an individual’s soul, washing away all their sins and filling their lives with positive vibes.

The Yoga Kumbha Camp during Simhastha Kumbh Mela is also making arrangements for safe holy bathing for its guests in the Kshipra River at Ujjain.

UJJAIN KUMBHA 2016 WITH UYLS -THE 5 INTERNATIONAL YOGA SEMINAR-2016

YOGA SEMINAR DURING UJJAIN KUMBHA MELA, INDIA

Humankind has always nurtured possibilities of seemingly distinct identities and affiliations coexisting and interacting with each other in harmonious ways.India for instance offers a unique example of peaceful transactions of multiple identities. Often described as a river, constantly refreshed by fresh streams, the Indian civilization reveals a remarkable propensity to respect and absorb traditions and rituals across religions and cultures. The quest for truth through a reconciliation of diverse viewpoints has ever been intrinsic to Hindu thought. Rigveda thus pronounced “Ekah va idam vi babhuv sarvam” (That which is one has multiplied unto all) and Ekam Sad Vipra bahudha vadanti (The truth is one, the sages express it variously) and further ‘Aa no bhadrah Krtavo yantu Vishvatah’ (May noble and auspicious thoughts come to us from all over the Universe). Such dialogical tradition and non-dualistic ethos creates a natural space for Yoga and cultural pluralism and diversities. Unsurprisingly India has long been a preferred destination for various Yogic religious and cultural communities from afar. In recent times too we could readily discover several lived instances of Yogic cultural pluralism and syncretism.

It is in this context this seminar will deliberate upon the ‘lived in’ experiences of plural Yogic identities and how our diverse associations and affiliations are played out in any specific context. It is befitting to host such conference Kumbha Mela 2016 Ujjain which apart from being the holy city of Hindus is seen as a gathering place of all religions and cultures wherein streams of shared religious and cultural practices dominated the public space and facilitated a peaceful transaction of inter community demotic superstitious and local practices.

The Kumbha 2016 YOGA seminar based on theme “Yoga for Peace and Humanity” from April 26-30th 2016 will be a meeting place for aesthetics and yogis of various sects of the world, almost like a parliament of Yoga for discussions on religious doctrines and possible reforms of yoga.

The YOGA seminar will provide a multidisciplinary forum for networking and the sharing of information related to new research and evidence-based outcomes of Scientific YOGA. The YOGA seminar will facilitate stronger linkages between Yoga,medical science and religious doctrines and will explore in greater depth the important overlap and interaction between and the program areas:Yoga for Peace and Humanity.

Ghats That Will Lead You To Heaven

Stepping stones that lead you down to a sacred river, are known as Ghats. One of the most popular ghats in Ujjain on the banks of the holy river Kshipra are the Ram Ghats. They beautifully surround the river and have numerous small Shiva Lingas built on them. Ram Ghat lies near to the world-famous Mahakaleshwar Ujjain temple and various priests and devotees worship the holy River Kshipra by performing special pujas.

Ram Ghats have their own spiritual importance due to the river they surround. Kshipra is said to be one of those rivers that were formed when the drop of nectar fell from the holy Kumbh on earth. The drop felt on earth following a battle between the gods and demons for the elixir of immortality that was preserved in a pot or Kumbh. Kshipra is said to contain the sacred water and hence people from all over the world come at these holy ghats to take Shahi Snan during the grandiose festival of Simhastha Kumbh Mela. It is strongly believed that the water of the river Kshipra can wash away all the sins of a person’s present as well as past life and lead them towards salvation. River Kshipra is also used by Hindus for performing various funeral ceremonies of the departed soul. The Ram Ghat is particularly renowned due to the presence of idols of gods: Pishachamukteshwar, Guheshwar, Dundeshwar, Damarukeshwar, Aruneshwar and Ardhanarishwar. It is also called as Sri Ram Ghat and is probably one of the most ancient bathing ghats in according to the Indian history. During the Simhastha Kumbh Mela at Ujjain, the famous Datta Akhara (where Naga Sadhus reside temporarily) can also be found along the holy Ram Ghats.

As per experts in the field of geography and astronomy, the holy city of Ujjain is also known as te Greenwich of India because the first meridian of longitude passes through it. The tropic of cancer also passes through the pious city. Another famous spot for bathing is Narsingha Ghat. This ghat is also another ancient ghat and attracts millions of devotees during the Kumbh. These ghats are alluringly picturesque and walking along them gives a leisurely feeling. You can always find little tortoises at the banks of the holy river Kshipra.
