The combined sanctity of the three holy rivers, coupled with
the spiritual powers obtained from the pot of nectar of immortality has earned
Prayag (Allahabad) as tirtharaja ( the king of holy places). The confluence of
India's three most sacred rivers at Allahabad , Besides the Ganges, there are
also two other sacred rivers located at Allahabad, the Yamuna and the Saraswati
. Ganges & Yamuna has its earthly origin in the Himalayas. Whereas
Saraswati, is a mystical river which has no physical form. Its is believed that
the Saraswati exists only on the spiritual plane and is not visible to the
human eye.
Why should a person attend the Kumbh Mela?
Visiting the Kumbh Mela to take a dip in the holy waters and
cleaning the sins committed in a lifetime is a very superficial motive to
attend the Kumbh Mela. The Kumbh festival is a life changing experience where a
person can fill the spiritual void he or she experiences in the humdrum of busy
urban life. Kumbh Mela is a platform where ordinary men can interact with
saints and priests and imbibe the knowledge possed by the latter.
