~ Kumbh - The Dip of Life...~

 The silence of the Ganga was making noise Inside me... every second, every minute was changing but Ganga though flowing in front of me looks to be still... there was certainly something inquisitive about the sacred river...

Taking the holy dip was an altogether a different experience, closing your eyes and immersing yourself into the divine river was nothing less than mesmerizing and once in a life time opportunity never to be forgotten through time space. The legend stories are a true basking of parables of the river showering energy and love and cleansing your thoughts and percepts about your living and life.

The stark time of 10:00 P.M made the difference, the shining moon overhead spread its light over Ganga and gave it different look altogether - the calmness of the flowing water without an iota of gush.

Let me illustrate here that the experience was exhilarating, the calmness streak of Ganga was intriguing and once when you immerse yourself in the divine flow, you cant stop getting more and more spiritual - your tangent gets hooked up to a different level of thoughts - combined with the people around you seeking for that evasive solace of  life, immersing themselves in the holy waters to find that profound truth! 

Asking them about what made the difference, many spoke in anxiety and with a sense of acceptance, " its amazing, there is something divine here!" - coincidentally, I met a 'foreigner' from Italy as she as all in awe of the flowing waters of 'Triveni Sangam' - my only question for the moment was " How was the experience?"

She was in tears- words were not coming her way, I could see the pure sense of devotion and submission in her, she was without words! - after 20-30 seconds of gap, she spoke with a teary eye 'It is such and amazing experience' - look up , there is moon and the stars! and below the reflection of almost full moon night made the river glow - isn't it such a coincidence!"

Her excitement was evident, as she stood still closing her eyes and still crying, there was nothing else to be asked! - She actually was echoing my experience - It has been a lifetime  experience and for sure nothing to be forgotten - as I looked around, I could see the excitement in souls with long shouts of 'Har Har Gange' and 'Har Har Mahadev!' - the two divine percepts in Hindu Mythology.

Visiting 'Akhadas' was another momentous moment for me, you could see the ultimate faith of yogis towards the 'Unknown' as them looked intriguing to the human mind - their faith spoke for themselves - totally enchant in their daily 'Sadhna' - the yogis or 'Baba's were into their own business of spirituality - it was us or many 'Youtubers' who were trying to indulge themselves with them for their daily 'Likes' truly forgetting the purpose of bathing in the divine land on a particular Mahurat!

Now as an experienced Khumbiete, I would just like to say 'Thanks' for inviting me and showing you divinity to this pious occasion - May Mahadev be kind to all souls - for even those who didn't make it due to any reasons known to them!
