The kumbha mela derives its name from the immortalizing pot of nectar described in India’s ancient scriptures. Kumbha in the Sanskrit language means “pot,” pitcher,” or “jar,” and mela means “festival.”

Kumbha mela is internationally famous as the earth’s largest gathering of human beings. Throughout the twentieth century, Western civilization has marveled at the Kumbha Mela. Sensationalistic and inaccurate journalism-reports of “millions of ignorant people bathing in the filthy water of the Ganges,” worshiping pagan gods and performing mysterious sacrifices”—has given the Western world something less than a noble appreciation of the Kumbha Mela. Thus few Westerners have taken the time to attend a Kumbha Mela or to understand the esoteric meaning of this poignant event.

There is something about the Kumbha Mela, however, that captivates the Western mind.

Some people say the reaction to the Kumbha Mela is so strong because kumbha mela represents the opposite of Western culture. Others say that the Kumbha Mela beckons the very soul of our existence, calling our higher self to shake off attachments to worldly life and step toward eternity. At any rate, the kumbha mela stirs the thoughts and emotions of most of us.
