Kumbh Mela USA 2025

 

ORGANIZED BY THE HINDU PARLIAMENT & SANATANA HINDU SANGHA OF CALIFORNIA

The Maha Kumbh Mela is the oldest and largest gathering of human beings on the planet. More than 1000 Kumbh Mela festivals have happened over the ages. It is a massive Hindu pilgrimage aimed at keeping the spiritual goals in sight for the multitude of seekers who merge into the ocean of humanity and become one. Sanatana Dharma (known in modern times as Hinduism) boasts a glorious history of tens of thousands of years. Hinduism is known for its tenets of religious tolerance and harmony.

The Akhil Bharatiya Akhada Parishad (ABAP) has been organizing the Kumbh Mela in India since time immemorial. It is the apex body of Hinduism, including all the 13 Akhadas (houses of monks) and over 1 million sadhus (spiritual seekers). On October 24, 2015, the previous Kumbh Mela USA was celebrated in a grand fashion in Norwalk, California.

The upcoming Kumbh Mela USA will be celebrated on February 2, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

What is Snaan?

Millions of Enlightened Masters carrying positive energy come together in the waters of the holy river Ganga to shower the collective positive energy on the whole planet. When this confluence happens, the water becomes amrita (nectar). The sadhus of the various Akhadas, led by Mahanirvani Akhada, take the first dip in the holy Ganga and bless the faithful, marking the auspicious beginning of the Snaan. Deities energized by Enlightened Masters are also brought to the Snaan to energize the water.

The time of celebration has celestial significance. During this period of stellar constellations, all the auspicious energies are concentrated on this Sangam (confluence), offering the best possibility for taking the individual closest to higher consciousness. The Kumbh Mela is also a grand festival of celebration, color, and splendor. Participants feel they are all one, going towards the same experience. The Kumbh Mela promotes brotherliness, joy, faith, peace, and prosperity.

The rich heritage expresses itself in the number of people who gather in India: 100 million people come together with no invitation or publicity, the host location doesn’t offer much comfort or infrastructure, there is no crime, and free food is offered to everyone. This is a testament to the power and strength of Sanatana Hindu dharma. The Hindu Parliament and the Sanatana Hindu Sangha of California will continue to bring this ancient, rich tradition to the west by organizing the Kumbh Mela USA on Feb 2nd 2025 in Los Angeles, CA.
