Mahakumbh exemplifies unity in diversity

Times of India  

The Great Kumbh Mela, Mahakumbh 2025, to be held from Jan 13 to Feb 26, will carry an aura of blissfulness. Kumbh Melas are held on the banks of sacred rivers, Ganga in Haridwar, Shipra in Ujjain, Godavari in Nashik, Maharashtra, and Triveni Sangam, the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and invisible Saraswati in Prayagraj. It has heightened significance in view of its range, scale, and govt facilities that surpass normal kumbhs held once every three years, Ardh Kumbhs held every six years, and Purn Kumbhs held every 12 years at auspicious locations. Rigveda, X.98 invokes the blessings of water thus: ‘Whatever sin is found in me Whatever wrong I may have done If I have lied or falsely sworn Waters, remove it far from me.’ A holy dip undertaken with faith during an auspicious planetary occurrence, along with mantra-jap, chanting of a holy syllable or prayer, is said to brush off negative energy, exonerate sins, fulfil wishes, and render salvation. Mahakumbh exemplifies the Vedic ideal of unity in diversity by bringing together proponents of different Sanatan traditions, who showcase their uniqueness, prowess and authenticity through presentations, discourses and debates.
