About MahaKumbh
The MahaKumbh is the largest spiritual gathering on Earth that unites millions of devotees, ascetics, and seekers on the sacred banks of India’s revered rivers. This year’s Kumbh at Prayagraj holds extraordinary significance, marking the first MahaKumbh in 144 years after the completion of 12 Purna Kumbhs. You can read more about the MahaKumbh here.
Sri M’s Kumbh Message
The first mention of the Kumbh Mela comes from Hiuen Tsang, the Chinese traveller who visited the Kumbh Mela in Prayag during the reign of the King Harshavardhan.
Adi Shankara is considered the founder of the founder of the Kumbh Mela in its present form. The intention was to bring together sages and scholars belonging to the different traditions in one space on the banks of the confluence of the three sacred rivers – Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati – to discuss spiritual and religious scriptures from all the 6 darshanas.
Sadhus and saints of all varieties take part in the Kumbh Mela, staying in temporary abodes called Akadas, attending satsangs and on appointed days taking a dip in the confluence of the three rivers.
The four places where the Kumbh takes place are Haridwar, Prayag, Nasik and Ujjain. Tradition asserts that these are the places where drops of Amrit (nectar) fell when the Devas and Asuras tried to snatch the Kumbh, the pot which contained the Amrit, after the churning of the ocean (Samundra Manthan).
This Kumbh Mela in Prayag is the Purna (full) Kumbh Mela which comes once every 12 years.
We, the Yoga Dham – the Akada of the Satsang Foundation, whose guiding saints are Sri Guru Babaji and Maheshwarnathji will conduct Satsangs and Yoga Shibirs, and feed the Sadhus led by Sri M (Madhukarnath), a disciple of the above Saints.
We welcome you to this great event.
