Kumbh Mela

The journey is planned so that we will be in Allahabad for the main bathing (Shahi Snan) date on the Maha Parva Bhadrapad Krushna Amavasya (no moon night).

To watch the Kumbh Mela processions is to witness the march of the ages. As the holy saints pass by on elephants, horses, palanquins, chariots, cars, and camels continually transmitting waves of powerful shakti (energy) to all the people who witness this awe-inspiring and most auspicious event. The sounds baffle all description; the shout and cries of ash-smeared sadhus mingle with the neighing of horses, trumpeting of elephants, grunting of camels, bellowing of bulls. Gongs and drums beat, trumpets blare, conch shells blow and bells ring. One is overwhelmed by the palpable spiritual vibrations that pervade the entire atmosphere.
