Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 The Maha Kumbh Mela " At the Maha Kumbha Mela, I communed with God, which I saw as everything contained within myself. It was the awareness of my path and expanded freedom that brought me to tears of joy. There exists no words to fully explain the depth of that communion. I know only liberation and the utmost kindness was totally re-enforced. " --Deborah, hair designer, Ohio The Religious Importance The festival is religiously most important for the Hindus. At every Kumbh occassion, millions of Hindus take part in the celebrations. During 2001 Kumbh at Allahabad, more than 35 million devoteed gathered at the site. Saints, priests, and yogis from all corners of India, gather to participate in Kumbh. Of all the places, Allahabad is the most sacred place and is the site for the Maha Kumbh Mela (The Grand Kumbh Fair). The festival is visited by the most amazing saints from all across India. The Naga Sadhus are one such, who never any cloth and are smeared in ash. They have long matted hairs and are not at all affected by the extremes of heat and cold. Then there are the Urdhwavahurs, who believe in putting the body through severe austerities. There are the Parivajakas, who have taken a vow of silence and go about tinkling little bells to get people out of their way. The Shirshasins stand all 24 hours and meditate for hours standing on their heads. Spending the entire month of Kumbh on the banks of Ganga, meditating, performing rituals and bathing thrice a day, are the Kalpvasis. It is believed that bathing during Kumbh cures the bather of all sins and evils and grants the bather, salvation. It is also believed that at the time of Kumbh Yog, the water of Sangam (confluence of rivers at Allahabad) is charged with positive healing effects and that water at the time of Kumbh is charged positively by enhanced electromagnetic radiations of the Sun, Moon and the Jupiter, the flux of which also varies in accordance to positions and the phases of the moon, and also by the + and - signs of the sun spots. As per Puranas (Hindu Scripts) properties of river water at Allahabad has been referred to as Amrit or elexir. The Occassion The Maha Kumbh mela takes place every 12 year at Allahabad, next due in 2013. The festival lasts for more than 1 month. During this period, the city witness arrival and departure of more than 30 million pilgrims. The most auspicious day for the holy dip is the day of the revered saint Amavasya, when the banks of the Sangam are flooded with devotees to as far as the eyes can behold. Other sacred days marked by celebrations are Makar Sankranti, Magi Poornima, Paush Poornima, Basant Panchmi, and Maha Shivratri. Hindus consider the period when the sun enters the zodiac known as Makar or Capricorn as most auspicious and beneficial, and rejoice and pray on the day of Makar Sankranti. 1 The next Maha Kumbh Mela will be Jan. 27 to Feb. 25, 2013. i hope to take part in it, with all my family members if possible. i really hope this can be accomplished as it will be a most joyous and rare spiritual occasion to merge with millions of great souls in Yoga Bumi. The main reason i will try to be there is: " Thereafter Saturn will govern for 19 years when it will spread Sahaja Yoga in the whole world. Saturn means the masses, the Virata and Shri Mataji will witness Kalki (Mercury) Power manifesting over the whole World commencing 21 - 02 - 2013. " It is of great significance that the Kalki Power will commence manifesting towards the climax of the 2013 Maha Kumbh Mela! Can anybody doubt that eventual victory will belong to the Divine Mother?

And what a better way to start than to seek the blessings of Shri Ganesha on this most auspicious 2-21-2006. Great deeds and difficult tasks can be accomplished by seeking His blessings on a Tuesday.

Raman, the world famous astrologer, given during Tour of Australia - 22 October 1991. I have noticed that these specific dates do signify certain events that have taken place: " Then Rahu's period of 18 years (from 21-02-1960 onwards) Rahu is a Divine planet giver of Intricate + 18 Knowledge of Brahma. Inner soul searching, Search for En Masse awakening 21 - 02 - 1978 Then Jupiter's period of 16 years Spreading of Sahaja Yoga - the Guru + 16 Principle throughout the world 21 - 02 - 1994 Thereafter Saturn will govern for 19 years When it will spread Sahaja Yoga in the whole world. Saturn means the masses, the Virata and Shri Mataji will witness Kalki (Mercury) Power manifesting over the whole World. + 19 21 - 02 - 2013 According to the birth horoscope and Sahaja Horoscope of 5-5-1970 Jupiter passed through Libra. Jupiter will again pass through Libra in 1993 and Sahaja Yoga will blossom in the entire world. " (end) It was in late 1993 that the Adi Shakti first started revealing Herself in the Sahasrara and giving the necessary evidence required to spread Sahaja Yoga. Then early 1994 that i began telling SYs what is taking place, expecting them to proclaim that evidence too and help spread Sahaja Yoga in the whole world. But no one was the least interested. Subsequently over the years Shri Mataji's permission was repeatedly sought to write a book about Her own revelations in the Sahasrara. Despite a number of clear approvals and Shri Mataji's declaration before SY leaders of this miraculous work being done, no one was interested. Now 2005 is almost ending, and matters are even worse as we have an active campaign by WCASY and management SYs to suppress/discredit the only evidence the Devi within has given humanity to ensure that Shri Mataji will witness the Kalki Power manifesting over the whole World by 21 - 02 - 2013. What is the nature of that power that makes them act this way, denying what Devi has endorsed ........... both within and without? But we conscientious and concerned SYs still have seven years to accomplish that task. We can succeed by collectively working together to openly declaring the Truth. As i said before, i will work 24/7 with all the great realized souls to ensure Her that victory by 2013. Saying that, i remembered a birthday card i gave to a dear friend years ago. It read: " Do not walk in front of me because I will not follow. Do not walk behind me because I will not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
