“Held once every twelve years, the Mahakumbh is more than a religious gathering; Divya Gurudev Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji (Founder and Head of DJJS) describes it as a grand celebration of Sanatan Dharma at the body, mind, and soul level.
Kumbh celebrates the nature at the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati, where millions of devotees reconnect with the elemental forces of nature. Unlike the synthetic world, it celebrates rejuvenation of body through the healing energies of nature, restoring vitality and aligning us with cosmic energy.
In the mental spectrum It serves as a psychological healing event. The constant chanting of Vedic mantras saturates the air with positive vibrations, offering mental healing and inner peace.
At the level of the soul, Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji reveals that the Kumbh echoes the path to salvation—the esoteric science of Brahm Gyan. The dip at the confluence of the three rivers symbolizes the Agya Chakra or Third Eye within the human body, where three energy channels converge, mirroring the cosmic Triveni. A dip in this inner Triveni leads to true salvation.
Apart from these, Kumbh has a cultural dimension as well. It unites diverse cultures in shared faith, creating a vibrant tapestry of Heritage. Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji calls it a bridge for youth to connect with Bharat’s divine heritage, showcasing its rich cultural treasures and Vedic wisdom.” Mentioned Sadhvi Tapeshwari Bharti , daughter disciple of Divya Guru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji
