This is an especially significant time as a great event is taking place in India called the Kumbh Mela. This is a highly potent time to engage in sadhana as this year is a Maha Kumbh, a GREAT Kumbh festival, which provides a particular energy and astrological alignment that occurs only once in every 144 years.
Sri Svamiji shared, "Right now on the Ganga Yamuna Saraswati Triveni Kshetram (Divine space) a special energy is being released, right now. This MahaKumbh is taking place after 144 years. So this is not an ordinary MahaKumbh. There is a special full moon, a special sunshine in the morning, a special sunset in the evening. Day and night is filled with Energy and Grace, Shakti. This is the largest gathering of human beings on Earth taking place.
It's all part of Divine Manifestation, it is not an ordinary happening: changing the world; changing India; changing the consciousness of human beings. Although Kumbh comes every 12 years this is a full Kumbh, not only full Kumbh, MahaKumbh ((note: these every 12 year Kumbh are called Purna (complete) or Maha Kumbh but Svamiji is distinguishing this very special MahaKumbh from those). Every 144 years a special alignment of stars and nakshatra takes place in the cosmos."
We are truly blessed to be here in this time to subtly experience the Divine Energy of the Maha Kumbh under Sri Svamiji's Grace. In order to connect to this Energy in a more focused way Sri Svamiji has offered us a mantra and Guided us to chant it every day through the Maha Kumbh's completion on February 26th.
Sri Svamiji shared that as you chant, "You feel the Divine Presence everywhere. You feel the Amritam everywhere. In your heart you feel joy, happiness, bliss, peace, the strength and Shakti - as you are receiving them from many High Beings and Devas and Devatas. You are connecting with many Divine Souls present there, connecting through the High Beings- They are there, They are there! Invoke the power. Invoke the Shakti. Right now there is prevailing Divine Presence in the Kshetram, Divine Field- out of this world experience. Divine Lokah is on Earth."
Jai Gurudev!
