00:00Maharaj Ji, it is said that the four places where we have fallen, what are those places and what is the difference between the different forms of Kumbh like Ardha Kumbh, Kumbh, Maha Kumbh?
00:14These four places are Prayag, Nasik, Ujjaini and Haridwar.
00:37In these four places, in Ujjaini, there is Chipra river, which is also a Ganga.
00:44In Nasik, there is Godavari river, which is also a Ganga.
00:47And in Haridwar and Prayag, there is Ganga.
00:51So, in these four places, Kumbh Parva takes place.
00:55First of all, Kumbh takes place in Prayag.
00:58Kumbh takes place in Prayag.
01:00Magha, Makar, Gatra, Vijabhoi.
01:02In Makar Rashi, there is Sun and Moon.
01:05In Brish Rashi, there is Brihaspati.
01:08And in Amavasya Parva, Kumbh takes place in Prayag.
01:14After two and a half years, Kumbh takes place in Nasik.
01:22And after seven to eight months, Kumbh takes place in Ujjain.
01:25And after two years, three years, Kumbh takes place in Haridwar.
01:31This takes place in twelve years.
01:33And in Haridwar and Prayag, this is also celebrated as Ardha Kumbh.
01:40So, in six years, people also celebrate Ardha Kumbh.
01:43Those who cannot go for twelve years,
01:45due to old age, health problems,
01:48they feel that they have to endure for twelve years.
01:50So, in six years, they also celebrate Ardha Kumbh.
01:52And if they don't complete it,
01:54at least they get some benefit.
01:56So, they come to Ardha Kumbh Parva and take bath.
01:59And in twelve years, Kumbh takes place.
02:02In six months, Ardha Kumbh takes place.
02:05In six years, this is also celebrated.
02:08And some people say that
02:10when Kumbh takes place for twelve times,
02:14then it is called Maha Kumbh.
02:16Prayag is known by the word itself,
02:19that it is the king of pilgrimages.
02:22So, if a common person has a festival here,
02:26and the king has a festival here,
02:28there is a lot of difference between the two.
02:30So, this Kumbh, when Prayag takes place in Raj,
02:33then it takes place in Rajasikhat Bhat.
02:35It takes place very extensively.
02:37And a lot of people also gather here.
02:40And by the grace of God, in the Kachhar of Ganga Yamuna,
02:42this is the place with the most land.
02:43The area of about fifteen kilometers
02:46remains empty for the arrangement of this Kumbh Parva.
02:50So, this much land is not available elsewhere.
02:53That is why this Kumbh is very big.
02:56Earlier, people used to go there to do penance.
02:59They still go there.
03:01But now a lot of people have started going there
03:03for Amodh Pramodh.
03:05Now, earlier it was believed that
03:07the means of comfort should be collected less.
03:10Because comfort is always at home.
03:12So, what is the point of going there
03:14if you go there with the same comfort?
03:16So, earlier, this kind of ideology
03:18used to be influential.
03:20People used to think like this.
03:22Now, comfort has started to be collected there.
03:25Now, there is more comfort than at home.
03:28So, after going there,
03:30the topic of penance has started to go back a little.
03:33In fact, in the case of sages and saints,
03:35the means of comfort is being collected more.
03:37Now, the topic of penance
03:39is only in some Kalpavasis
03:41and in some sages and saints.
03:43Now, a large part of it
03:45has become the form of fair.
03:47Meeting, socializing, living,
03:49increasing contact, etc.
03:51Promoting, etc.
03:53All these aspects are being collected.
