Many will tell you that this event is a "short cut to Nirvana" -- let's hope so!
After visiting the Kumbh Mela of 1895, Mark Twin wrote:
"It is wonderful, the power of faith like that, that can make multitudes upon multitudes of the old and weak and the young and frail enter without hesitation or complaint upon such incredible journeys and endure the resultant miseries without repining.
It is done in love, or it is done in fear; I do not know which it is. No matter what the impulse is, the act born of it is beyond imagination, marvelous to our kind of people, the stark whites."Over the next few months I will be writing about the path I am following that will bring me to the Kumbh Mela. The more I can learn about the Kumbh -- its meaning, purpose and significance -- the more I too can "marvel at the act that is born of it."
