The maha Kumbh is starting in Prayagraj from january 13, i.e. today. Before the start of maha Kumbh, there is a gathering of sadhus and saints there. Sadhus and saints have reached there from different parts of the country. Like every time, this year too, naga Sadhus have reached there in the midst of severe cold. But the question is, how do naga Sadhus live there even in such cold?
The BBC spoke to some naga Sadhus to know this in one of its media reports. A naga Sadhu said that when it comes to Sadhana, there is no issue of cold. See, there is a lot of power in Sadhana. This bhabhut that we apply on the body also prevents cold. We are Aghori Babas, so we have applied ash.
Another naga Sadhu said that it gives warmth to the body. It is beneficial for the body and does not cause disease. Another naga Baba told during the conversation that worship god, this is the biggest. This is the biggest cloth, there is no other cloth bigger than this. If you sit for 12 hours or 14 hours, then these legs will also ache. This stomach will also shrink.
Amrit Snan will start from tomorrow
It is worth noting that the maha Kumbh starting on the Triveni Sangam coast will be organized till 26 february this time. During this time there will be some six royal baths. 40 to 45 crore devotees are expected to come to Prayagraj in the maha Kumbh, who will take Amrit Bath in the holy confluence of Ganga, yamuna and Saraswati. Devotees will perform the ancient tradition of Kalpvas of maha Kumbh on the Sangam coast.
Devotees will regularly do Kalpvas on the Sangam coast for a month. For this, Prayagraj mela Authority has made special arrangements under the guidance of cm Yogi. Kalpvas will start from Paush purnima on january 13. In this maha Kumbh, Kalpvas will be done on the Sangam coast from january 13 to february 12.
