In a global perspective,
For the millions of Hindus
As also believers worldwide
A holy dip at the Triveni-Sangam
The confluence of majestic holy rivers
Ganga, Yamuna & legendary Sarasvati
During the Maha Kumbh at Prayagraj
Has remained a matter of religiosity
Symbolic to a deep faith and conviction.
But for me it’s an iconic event
Of the Sanatana culture & tradition
In the land of Vedas and Upanishads
Far more and much above the religion –
A narrow definition of varying faiths.
For ages since ancient times
The Sanatana Dharma represents
An eternal way of the righteous life
Based on the judicious concepts like:
Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam
Sarva Dharma Sambhav
Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah.
Both terms Kumbh and Mela
Find a mention in the scriptures
Including the one oldest “Rigveda”
The event represents a holy combination
Of the spirituality and astronomy
The science of planets and constellations
Therefore this’s no wonder
That just concluded Maha Kumbh Mela
Has set several world records, including
Over six hundred fifty million people
Taking a spiritual bath at the mega event.
Meaning of 3 Great Sanskrit Vakyas above:
(in the same order)
The whole world is one family.
All faiths lead to the same destination.
Let everyone live happily.
