The Kumbh Mela is a major Hindu religious festival that occurs every three years rotating between 4 Indian cities. According to Hindu mythology, gods and demons battled over a vessel, or kumbh, containing the key to immortality. During the struggle, the precious liquid spilled in four locations - Allahabad, Ujjain, Nashik and Haridwar. Depending on the Hindu calendar, millions of Hindu holy men and pilgrims bathe in the rivers adjacent to these cities to cleanse away sins and liberate themselves from the cycle of life, death and rebirth. This collection contains photographs of naga babas, (a Hindu religious sect who cover their naked bodies in ash, among other austerities) sadhus (holy men held in high esteem), and pilgrims who make the pilgrimage to Haridwar from all parts of the subcontinent.
Seth Doane takes us to the largest religious gathering in the world: The Kumbh Mela, a Hindu festival on the banks of the Ganges River in Haridwar, India. Roughly 50 million pilgrims make their way to the north Indian city between January and April to take a dip in the Holy Ganges. According to Hindu legend, in an ancient battle between gods, a bit of the nectar of immortality spilled where the Ganges flows out of the Himalayas . . . and when the astrological timing is right, a bath there promises to cleanse a person of his sins. On the day we visited the Kumbh, an estimated 5 million people bathed in the river. One man we met traveled 36 hours by train to get to Haridwar. It is a chaotic festival that is at times difficult to comprehend from a Western perspective. But amid the zig-zagging parade of holy men and the maze of humanity, there's a little bit of magic on the banks of the Ganges.
Sant Shri asaramji Bapu satsang in Haridwar is very nice. For more satsang and bhajan of Asaramji Bapu Please visit ashram.org
Haridwar is situated on the right side of the bank of the holy Gahar-ki-Pauringa, and is the point where the river spreads over the northern plains. Associated with both Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu, Haridwar is among the seven sacred cities of India. It is also one of the four venues for the Kumbh Mela, held in its magnitude every twelve years. Essentially a religious centre which holds promise of salvation for devotees, Haridwar is also a centre of herbal medicine, and traditional studies at Gurukul Kangri. There are many places of scenic beauty on the outskirts of the town.

It is said that a holy dip in sacred rivers during Maha Kumbh or Ardh Kumbh takes human out of the circle of life & death ( stage known as Moksha ).

Kalpavãsi experiences are the most unique that a human can undergo in this mortal world. A kapavãsi basically transcends the linear space-time barrier by submitting himself / herself to a day in the Brahmaloka, Which is equivalent to 4.32 billion earth days. We invite you find out how this magic (time-travel) unfolds We are the pioneers of an ongoing research on the Kumbha (Kumbh) Mela and other Indian Traditional Knowledge Systems from the last 10 years and the packages presented through this Kalpavãsi program have been designed with complete assimilation and understanding of both the sensitivities of the participating religious organization and the sensibilities of the modern traveller We present to you the best possible experiences of the Kumbha (Kumbh) Mela in an effort to introduce you to the essence of the Indian Tradition, Heritage, Culture, Spirituality and Religion with the least possible expenditure of time, effort and money. The Kumbha (Kumbh) Mela is not just a Religious/Spiritual event and there is a popular misconception that it is all about naked Indian Sadhus (Ascetics), snake charmers and cheap magicians The Kumbha (Kumbh) Mela is a conglomeration of religion, trade and amusement. The ground is dotted with makeshift shrines, temples, thatched Mantapams, and Ashramas of innumerable sects, saints, the lay folks, etc. In the evenings and early mornings one may hear the sound of Bhajans, Kirtans, the telling of Kathas, chanting of hymns, jingling of bells ...
Kumbha mela reveals the most well hidden secrects of hindu ascetics. in this video we see sadhus performing the rare panchagni sadhana and the titeesha sadhana the panchagni sadhana is performed by the sadhaka (ascetic) by meditating with five sides of fire. he makes a circle of fire around him and places the fifth fire on his head. panchagni sadhana is a very difficult part of the hatt yoga wing the titeesha sadhana involves facing the sun with ones back for the whole day. the sadhaka faces west in the morning and ends the day in the east turning and meditating with the sun's movement in the skys. it is amazing to see the difference in temperature of the ascetics body, the back burns at 45 degree centigrade while the fornt torso reaches minus 10 degrees centigrade. titeeksha is a very difficult part of the hatt yoga wing.
