"KUMBH MELA"

"HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE KUMBH MELA"

"Incredible" is the word to describe that Divine Happening once every 3/6/12 year, and present one after 144 years. The Hindu's are the most Enlightened Religious Class/Group on this Globe, the Earth. They experience an extreme limit of the Eternal Bliss and their power of faith and belief is known to part river, move mountains, and endure the hardships that come bundled up for being an Integral Part of the "Kumbh Mela', an unbelievable Congregation of Millions(outnumbering the population of Europe/Russia) gather together to be freed from the Vicious Earthly Cycle of Life and Death and move towards a Heavenly Realm, which knows no Suffering or Pain. To attain the divine "Moksha".  It's the Hindu Vedic history of India and the Divine Sacred Religious Hindu Vedic Texts that Bind us the Hindu's, the human who are Carnal Souls; to an Eternal Hope. Things will be better, without the ever-imminent fear of them getting worse that cripples us here. "An Eternal Life Free of Sins" is the promise that comes attached with the Magnificent Event of the "Kumbh Mela". It's a promise to which millions want to be bound with, and it is this promise that has made "Kumbh Mela" what it is today. No Hindu ever goes there to ask The Hindu God Almighty, the Hindu Diety, any kind of Pot of Gold, the Materialist Desire of pleasure and personal comfort. Surprising! It seems to the Christian and Muslim World, that Hindu's endure the hardship of parting with their last saving to visit and be part of this Divine Happening, the "Kumbh Mela", and ask nothing in return from anyone and from the ultimate power the God Almighty. 
Legend has it that in the Vedic times, during a waging war between the "Sura's and Asura's" for the possession of "Elixir" (Amrit) of Eternal Life, a few drops of it had fallen on to four places that are today known as "Prayagraj", "Haridwar", "Ujjain", and "Nasik". It is believed that these drops gave mystical powers to these places. It is to make oneself gain on those powers that the"Kumbh Mela" has been happening as a Divine Event in each of these four places, since thousands of years BC . The normal "Kumbh Mela" is held every 3 years, the Ardh (half) "Kumbh Mela" is held every six years at Haridwar and Prayagraj ( Allahabad) while the Poorna (complete) "Kumbh Mela" takes place every twelve years, at four places "Prayagraj", "Haridwar", "Ujjain", and "Nashik", based on planetary movements. The "Maha Kumbh Mela" is celebrated at "Prayagraj" after 144 years (after 12 "Poorna Kumbh Melas"). This depending on what position the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter hold in that period in different zodiac signs, the venue for "Kumbh Mela" is decided.
If anyone wants to know Hindu India and Hindu Indians from the world over, than they must visit the "Khumb Mela". Incredible it is and Incredible are "Hindu Indians". You would realize the Hindu "Resilience," their "Extreme Strength" and their "Ultimate Power to Rise Like Phoenix".
