Welcome to this special episode of the Dharma Podcast dedicated to exploring the various dimensions of the sacred Maha Kumbh Mela that began yesterday (13 January 2025) in Prayagraj.
This episode is a Masterclass exploring and explaning the origin, history, evolution and glory of the Maha Kumbh Mela.
The history of the Prayag Kumbh Mela is enmeshed with piety, thrill, war, inspiration, joy and tragedy. There is nothing remotely comparable to it when placed in the realms of space and time.
A fundamental element in the Kumbh Mela is the fact that it is a Tirtha Yatra. Tirtha Yatra is the timeless expression of Hindu piety on two moving feet. If Prayag is the Tirtha-Raja, the Kumbh Mela is the Mela-Raja, the undisputed monarch of all Tirtha Yatras.
