KumBha mela was a carefully nurtured fair by Hindu Kings, to conglomerate learned and enlightened minds. In a sense Kumbha mela functioned as the oldest forum where various sects gathered and exchanged ideas of theory and practice of sanatan dharma. Adi Shankara, who was instrumental in propagating Hinduism was first to organize mela in a systematic basic and this fair became a large scale pilgrimage after his intervention.<br />Kumbha mela thus has many facets and layers... today it appears primarily as a visual spectacle becasue of media perceptions and the curiosity of Indian spirituality among the western nations.. <br />all the best<br />vidya<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691456574434130570.post-82989033107806788562013-01-14T18:58:06.709+05:302013-01-14T18:58:06.709+05:30Any event of this nature is bound to attract eye-b...Any event of this nature is bound to attract eye-balls of all types.

Why dont people leave the sadhu's & spiritual people alone. Wonder why these so called educated & civilised people take pictures of the naked sadhus and make fun of their attire and / or life style - Our country allows every individual to practice their faith & beliefs but when it comes to such events wonders why large scale compromise are been made. The media (intertnational and national) & people with hiden agenda only prey for such moments to promote their selfish motives and make money in bargain. Our own people are to be blamed for not taking enough measures .Sherhttp://shayari.co.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691456574434130570.post-90169492479614787372013-01-14T11:12:59.142+05:302013-01-14T11:12:59.142+05:30Truly awesome post!
