Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Invitation to Kalpvas at Sangam Prayag during magh mela These are the reasons and importance of Prayag, Holy Ganga and Kalpvas: " Prayag is the most ancient and particularly sacred place where the divine rivers Ganga, Yamuna and subterraneous Saraswati converge, which is also known as Triveni. The river Ganges is glorified in all Vedic Scriptures as supremely pure and auspicious. According to the Puranas, the water of the Ganges is sacred because it emanates from the lotus feet of Lord Vishnu, the sustainer of all creation. At Prayag (Allahabad) holy Magh Mela (Festival), is being performed every year, when specific planetary positions and the presence of many saints transform the water into sacred or divine nectar, also known as amrit. Magh mela turns in to Ardh kumbha mela in every 6 years intervals & it turns in to kumbh mela in every 12 years intervals. During Kumbh/Magh mela devotees resides for one and half month in teporary tents/huts, for taking amrit of Holy Ganga and from saints, which comes from all over world. It is said during magh all dieties comes on Bank of Holy Ganga, to pray her & to bless all devotees. The living during magh is called kalpvas.
