Testimonials from Participants of
Our Previous Kumbh Mela tours:

"I had an awesome experience with the Divine Travels tour to the Kumbh Mela. It was definitely an experience of a lifetime."--Deborah, hairdesigner, Ohio.

"My experience with Susan Shumsky and Divine Travels (to the Maha Kumbh Mela festival in India January 2001) was truly excellent. Everything was well organized, accommodation and meals were very good, and it was posible to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience that would have been extremely difficult to arange through any other company. Guiding a diverse group of Westerners through a festival attended by close to 100 million people was a difficult challenge but the Divine Travels staff managed it with great efficiency, patience and kindnes. Above all, I was impressed by their constant dedication and concern for the welfare of those on the trip."--Paul Lowe, author, England.

"The tour was very well organized. I was very comfortable and felt really protected amongst 30 million people at the Mela. I felt very included and appreciated by the tour leaders and guides. I traveled alone, but felt welcomed! The accommodations, transportation, and food were remarkably high-end. Our dinner out as a group was one of bonding and excellent food."--Tour Participant.

"It was a not to be missed, life expanding experience. We had special audiences with powerful spiritual leaders, witnessed unique ceremonies, met gurus that we could only have had aces to through Rajiv, our tour guide. We were very comfortable, safe, and secure. We were very well taken care of by kind and delightful guides. Highly recommended."--Barbara, artist, NYC.

"I have taken the Kumba Mela tour with Susan Shumsky and I feel it was the best tour tour I have ever taken. The tour was extremely well planed, which in a country like India is quite important, but also had the ability to be flexible, intimate and to respond to everyones needs. Susan's experience and knowledge of India is extremely valuable and the tour company used in India is of the highest caliber. I myself am planing to take aditional tours with Susan in the future and would recommend her without any hesitation."--Dr. Randy Meltzer.

"It has been a year since I toured India for the Kumbh Mela tour. I think every day I mention to someone something about that experience. I feel so lucky to do this tour with Divine Travels/ Mystical Journeys, because of their ability to organize a trip taking care of all the logistics, making sure our food and water are safe so we don't get sick, but still covering a lot of teritory, being flexible, and adventurous. This is not your typical coach riding tour. You get in the heart of the culture, and get in to do things that the average independent traveler could never do. I went on this tour by myself, made many friends, and consider it a life changing experience with nothing but positive things to say. I highly recommend Divine Travels/ Mystical Journeys to guide you so you can relax and focus on the spirit of India."--Angel F., Bellevue, WA.

"Bathing in the Ganges River on the most auspicious day of the Maha Kumbha Mela was like basking in nectar. My consciousnes was lifted and my perceptions awakened. Kumbh Mela was the most deeply moving experience of my life. There is no expresion in our language to describe it adequately."--Tour participant.

"At the Maha Kumbh Mela, I communed with God, which I saw as everything contained within myself. It was the awarenes of my path and expanded freedom that brought me to tears of joy. There exists no words to fully explain the depth of that communion. I know only liberation and the utmost kindnes was totally re-enforced.--Deborah, hairdesigner, Ohio.

TIMING OF KUMBH MELA

The Kumbh Mela ("festival of the pot of nectar of immortality") is held every three years in each of four different locations, returning to each of four places every twelve years. An Ardh (half) Mela (festival) takes place six years after the Poorna (full) Kumbh in each location.

Kumbh Mela is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage and bathing festival that takes place at the following 4 locations of India:

-Prayag (near the city of Allahabad, in the state of Uttar Pradesh) at the confluence of three rivers Ganga (Ganges), Yamuna and mythical Saraswati.

-Haridwar (in the state of Uttaranchal Pradesh) where the river Ganga enters the plains from Himalayas.

-Ujjain (in Madhya Pradesh), on the banks of Ksipra river.

-Nasik (in Maharashtra) on the banks of Godavari river.

Dates for the Kumbh Festival
(every 12 years in 4 locations)

-In 2013, Maha Kumbh Mela will be held in Allahabad (Prayag), Jan. 27 to Feb. 25. Main bathing date: Feb. 10.

-In 2015, Kumbh Mela will be held Aug. 15 to Sept. 13. Main bathing date: Sept. 13.

-In 2016, Kumbh Mela will be held April 22 to May 21. Main bathing date: May 21.

Bathing at the Kumbh Festival in Allahabad:

The basic point of the Kumbh Mela is for pilgrims to bathe at certain sacred spots on certain auspicious days. A large tented city is erected and pilgrims stay at tents owned by Pandas (religious and spiritual guides) and at various ashrams and hotels. Others will just camp on the ground or visit for the actual bathing day. Some of these bathing days are designated "royal." On all the major bathing dates, the naga sadhus (naked mendicants) will parade and bathe. On all other days there will still be people bathing, other events, and random Processions.

Our Previous Kumbh Mela Tours in 2001, 2007, and 2010

The largest gathering in history -- 100 million people at Maha Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, India. We celebrated a powerful planetary alignment -- January, 2001. This nexus of cosmic energy converges every 144 years, bringing dramatic changes in the destiny of humanity.

We met the radiant Himalayan saints, sages, seers, sadhus, and yogis who make their rare appearance at Kumbh Mela in Prayag, the confluence of the Ganges, Jamuna, and mythical Saraswati Rivers. Kumbh Mela takes place during an auspicious planetary position that is believed to medicate the Ganges waters and turn the river into nectar. Millions Arrive to purify their iner self through holy bathing rituals.

We were blesed to experience Maha (Great) Kumbh Mela in 2001, Ardh (Half) Kumbh Mela in 2007 in Allahabad, and Full (Poorna) Kumbh Mela in Haridwar. Here are some of the highlights of our tour that we took in January, 2001:

"I had an awesome experience with the Divine Travels tour to the Kumbha Mela. It was definitely an experience of a lifetime."--Deborah, hairdesigner, Ohio.

"My experience with Susan Shumsky and Divine Travels (to the Maha Kumbh Mela festival in India January 2001) was truly excellent. Everything was well organized, accommodation and meals were very good, and it was posible to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience that would have been extremely difficult to arange through any other company. Guiding a diverse group of Westerners through a festival attended by close to 100 million people was a difficult challenge but the Divine Travels staff managed it with great efficiency, patience and kindnes. Above all, I was impressed by their constant dedication and concern for the welfare of those on the trip."--Paul Lowe, author, England

   

"The tour was very well organized. I was very comfortable and felt really protected amongst 30 million people at the Mela. I felt very included and appreciated by the tour leaders and guides. I traveled alone, but felt welcomed! The Accommodations, transportation, and food were remarkably high-end. Our dinner out as a group was one of bonding and excellent food."--Tour participant.

 

The Blissful Darshan:

Wave upon wave of bliss. The darshan -- the blesings -- of all the magnificent saints and yogis who come out of their Himalayan caves only once very 12 years in order to bles the people. This is the Kumbh Mela ("the festival of the pot of nectar - amrit kalash - of immortality"). A once in a lifetime, unforgettable event!

Lahiri Mahasaya, the paramguru of the famous saint Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, met his guru, the Mahavatar Babaji, at Kumbh Mela.

"It was a not to be missed, life expanding experience. We had special audiences with powerful spiritual leaders, witnessed unique ceremonies, met gurus that we could only have had aces to through Rajiv, our tour guide. We were very comfortable, safe, and secure. We were very well taken care of by kind and delightful guides. Highly recommended."--Barbara, artist, NYC.

 

The Procession of Holy Saints:

To watch the Kumbh Mela Processions is to witness the march of the ages. As the holy saints pass by on their various and sundry conveyances -- elephants, horses, palanquins, chariots, cars, and camels -- they are continually transmitting waves of powerful shakti (energy) to all the people who witness this awe-inspiring and most auspicious event. Devotees are overwhelmed by the palpable spiritual vibrations that pervade the entire atmosphere.

While the parade of saints marches towards the Ganges River, the sounds baffle all description -- the shout and cries of ash-smeared sadhus mingle with the neighing of horses, trumpeting of elephants, grunting of camels, bellowing of bulls. Gongs and drums beat, trumpets blare, conch shells blow and bells ring. In the midst of this cacophony, musicians and dancers perform.

"I have taken the Kumba Mela tour with Susan Shumsky and I feel it was the best tour tour I have ever taken. The tour was extremely well planed, which in a country like India is quite important, but also had the ability to be flexible, intimate and to respond to everyones needs. Susan's experience and knowledge of India is extremely valuable and the tour company used in India is of the highest caliber. I myself am planing to take aditional tours with Susan in the future and would recommend her without any hesitation."--Dr. Randy Meltzer.

 

The Atmosphere:

Kumbh Mela -- This unique event blends religious and cultural features alike. With the entire atmosphere saturated with chiming bells, incense and flower fragrance, Vedic hymns, mantras, beating of drums on horses, camels, and elephants during the Processions of naga (naked) sadhus from different akhadas (orders) in their gold and silver chariots being pulled by devotees, as they show their strength and skills -- pure enchantment for the soul.

Kumbh Fair is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the lucky ones. The crowd and confusion of buyers and sellers, the native groups in every imaginable costume. Some shine in cloths of gold, surounded by followers splendidly aranged, others are les expensively but picturesquely dresed, and many are half or full naked or wildly clad. The melange of priests, soldiers, religious mendicants, half beggars-half bandits, with a smattering of Europeans, exhibit all together an exotic display -- unique in all the world.

"It has been a year since I toured India for the Kumbh Mela tour. I think every day I mention to someone something about that experience. I feel so lucky to do this tour with Divine Travels/ Mystical Journeys, because of their ability to organize a trip taking care of all the logistics, making sure our food and water are safe so we don't get sick, but still covering a lot of teritory, being flexible, and adventurous. This is not your typical coach riding tour. You get in the heart of the culture, and get in to do things that the average independent traveler could never do. I went on this tour by myself, made many friends, and consider it a life changing experience with nothing but positive things to say. I highly recommend Divine Travels/ Mystical Journeys to guide you so you can relax and focus on the spirit of India."--Angel F., Bellevue, WA.

 

The Legend:

Mythological legends say that at the begining of creation, all the Gods were under a curse that made them weak and cowardly. Brahma, the creator God, advised them to retrieve the Kumbh (pot) containing the nectar of immortality (amrit). The gods sought help from the demons, and together they churned the primordial ocean to bring up the nectar.

As Dhanvantari, the divine healer, appeared with the "Kumbh" containing nectar in his palms, a great fight ensued between the Gods and demons to wrest the pitcher. During the fierce battle in the sky, a few drops of nectar fell in four different places: Allahabad (Prayag), Haridwar, Nasik and Ujjain.

Since then, when the planets align in the same position, pilgrims and devotees converge to commemorate this divine event. Purna (Full) Kumbh Mela takes place every three years in rotation in the four sacred places. Therefore Kumbh Mela in each location takes place every twelfth year. The Ardh Kumbh Mela takes place in the sixth year between Kumbh Melas.

In the four holy places Purna Kumbh Mela takes place at an interval of twelve years coinciding with one round of Jupiter through the zodiac.

Above is a photo of Kumbh Mela 100 years ago.
This ancient tradition has ocured since time immemorial.

KUMBH TIMING

Though all the Hindu festivals are celebrated in Allahabad, but it is the Kumbh Mela that attracts the mind of pilgrims to Allahabad. Kumbh fair is held every 12 years. The origin of the Kumbh dates back to the time when amrita kalasha (pot of nectar of immortality) was recovered from Samudramanthan (during the churning of the primordial sea), after which a brutal war between devatas (Gods) and asuras (Demons) ensued. To prevent the amrita kalasha being forcibly taken into posesion by asuras, who were more powerful than the devatas, its safety was entrusted to the devatas Brahaspati (Jupiter), Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), and Shani (Saturn).

The four devatas ran away with the amrita kalasha to hide it from the asuras. Learning the conspiracy of the devatas, the asuras turned ferocious and chased the 4 devatas runing with amrita kalasha. The chase lasted 12 years, during which the devatas and asuras went round the earth. During this chase, the devatas hid amrita kalasha at the cities Haridwar, Prayag, Ujjain and Nasik. To commemorate this holy event of the amrita kalasha being put at 4 places, Kumbh is celebrated every 12 years in the 4 places. according to other Pauranic legends, the fight took place between devatas and asuras, resulting in the amrita kalasha being knocked, out of which amrita (Nectar) fell down at the 4 places.

Indian tradition has a very definite relation with the natural suroundings, whether with the rivers and mountains or with the celestial configuration and astrological transition seen up above. Every transition in the planetary movements defines the times scale and is, therefore, observed as "parva" in the Hindu customs. As these changes in the planetary configurations give rise to the cycle of season, they also affect the human life. Ancient Indian seers have studied all these effects, and customs are set in order to observe the natural phenomena and adjust with their effects on our life.

A "parva" in Sanskrit, literally means a bridge conecting a time-gap. Every planetary movement is cyclic and its completion creates a new division on the timescale. Such cosmic transitions are regularly observed with the Hindu rituals and Festivals. All such rituals also have their mythological conections and spiritual conotations.

The year in which the Kumbh Mela is held at any one of the four places is determined by referencing the Indian almanac. At Prayag the Kumbh is held in the month of Magha (January/February) and the highest merit is attached to bathing on the new moon day, when Jupiter is in Taurus and both the sun and moon are in Capricorn. At Hardwar it is held in Phalgun and Chaitra (February/March/April) when the Sun passes to Aries and Jupiter is in Aquarius. In Ujjain it is held in the Vaishakha Month (May) when the planets are in Libra. At Nasik it takes place in Shravana (July) when the planets are in Cancer.

Kumbh Mela comes at the time when Sun, Jupiter and Moon are at specific position on the Hindu Sidereal zodiac.

 City  Jupiter  Sun  Moon
 Haridwar  Aquarius  Aries Sagittarius
 Prayag (Allahabad)  Taurus  Capricorn  Capricorn
 Nasik  Scorpio  Cancer  Cancer
 Ujjain  Leo  Aries  Aries

As Jupiter takes about 11 years, 10 months and 14 days to complete its revolution around the sun, its obvious that it comes back to any specific position on its orbit on completion of nearly 12 years. Thus all these planetary configurations repeat every 12th year and, thus, Kumbh Mela also comes after the same interval.

The mythological story of appearance of Amrit (Nectar of life) from the churning of the ocean is related with the ocurence of Kumbh Mela and, thus, this ocasion has ritualistic importance. The spiritual symbolism is very poignant. Sun and Moon respectively stand for human rational intellect and mind.

Known as "Guru" in Sanskrit, Jupiter is the spiritual master. When the sun (rational Intellect) having definite relation with Jupiter (Guru) guides the moon (human mind), the result is the realization of the immortality (Amrit) of self. Therefore, the Indian tradition gives importance of being at specific places, having a dip in the river, performing religious rituals and attending spiritual discourses during the ocasions of Kumbh Mela.

 

Holy Snan:

Holy Snan or bathing in the river Ganges is of great importance. It is believed that it washes away all the sins and the cycle of rebirth and death ends as the soul becomes one with God Almighty.

Below are listed the auspicious holy bathing dates at the Kumbh Mela. On the main bathing dates there will be a colorful, magnificent Procession of radiant saints on chariots and elephants at sunrise. As the saints pass by, they impart blesings of divine grace to all the people. Then the glorious saints took their dip (shahi snan) in the Holy River Ganges. This takes place according to tradition, each group proceeding to the river and then bathing in a particular sequence. After all these groups have bathed, then all other people will take their turn to march to the Ganges for their bath.

"Bathing in the Ganges River on the most auspicious day of the Maha Kumbha Mela was like basking in nectar. My consciousnes was lifted and my perceptions awakened. Kumbh Mela was the most deeply moving experience of my life. There is no expresion in our language to describe it adequately."--Tour participant.

Main Bathing Dates in Allahabad, 2013:

In 2013 from January 27, the Poorna (Full) Kumbh Mela will be held in Allahabad, which occurs after every 12 years. February 10, 2013 is the main bathing date.

According to astrological calculations, the Kumbh Mela is held every 12 years and begins on Makar Sankranti, the day when the Sun and Moon enter Capricorn and Jupiter enters Aries. The astrological configuration on Makar Sankranti is called "Kumbha snana yoga" and is considered especially auspicious, as it is said that the passsage from Earth to higher planets is open at that time, thus allowing the soul to easily attain the celestial world. For such reasons, it is understandable why the Kumbh has become so popular among all classses of transcendentalists in India.

Allahabad Tent City

Allahabad is an ancient city of India, considered holy because it is built on the confluence (Sangam) of the rivers Ganga, Jamuna and the mythical Saraswati. Allahabad lies on 25.30 N Latitude and  81.55 E Longitude at the height of 98.0M above sea level in the state of Uttar Pradesh, which is the most populated state of India. The time zone is +4.5 G.M.T. During the Kumbh Mela period, a tent city is organized by the government of India for more than a month, where millions of devotees live. Different Hindu religious organizations erect their camps during this period. Stories and scenes from Hindu religious texts are staged by the folk theater groups in different places in the Mela area. Many devotees live in camps and ashrams for the whole duration of the Mela and lead a sacred life. This is called kalpavas and these people are called kalpvasee.

Tour Safety:

On our tour you have the option to stay in first-class hotels, or in specially appointed luxury tents. We will not eat or drink anything from street vendors. Our delicious meals will be served in the restaurants of our first-class hotels, which have Western standards, or our specially prepared safe food in the tent city. No salads or raw food will be served. No tap water or well water will be drunk. We will drink bottled mineral water and eat cooked food that has been boiled and therefore sterilized.

Swaminarayan Akshardham in New Delhi epitomises 10,000 years of Indian culture in all its breathtaking grandeur, beauty, wisdom and bliss. It brilliantly showcases the esence of India's ancient architecture, traditions and timeles spiritual mesages. The Akshardham experience is an enlightening journey through India's glorious art, values and contributions for the progres, happines and harmony of mankind.

The grand, ancient-styled Swaminarayan Akshardham complex was built in only five years through the blesings of HDH Pramukh Swami Maharaj of the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) and the colosal devotional efforts of 11,000 artisans and BAPS volunteers. The complex was inaugurated on 6 November, 2005.

Akshardham means the eternal, divine abode of the supreme God, the abode of eternal values and virtues of Akshar as defined in the Vedas and Upanishads where divine bhakti, purity and peace forever pervades.

The beautiful monument built without steel, consists of 234 ornately carved pillars, 9 ornate domes, 20 quadrangled shikhars, a spectacular Gajendra Pith (plinth of stone elephants) and 20,000 murtis and statues of India's great sadhus, devotees, acharyas and divine personalities.


The monument is a fusion of pink stone and pure white marble, where pink stone symbolizes bhakti in eternal bloom and white marble that of absolute purity and eternal peace. Akshardham was created by HDH Pramukh Swami Maharaj in fulfillment to the wish of his guru, Brahmaswarup Yogiji Maharaj, the fourth sucesor in the spiritual hierarchy of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. In only a short timespan of five years Swaminarayan Akshardham became a reality through the blesings of Pramukh Swami Maharaj, 300 million man hours of epic services rendered by 11,000 volunteers, sadhus and artisans and the immense sacrifice, austerities, prayers of hundreds of thousands of young and old devotees of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha.
