क्या है तीर्थ?

किसी साधक ऋषि ने किसी स्थान या जलाशय पर बैठकर साधना की या अपनी आध्यात्मिक शक्ति का प्रदर्शन किया। वह अपनी भक्ति कमाई करके साथ ले गया तथा अपने ईष्ट लोक को प्राप्त हुआ। उस साधना स्थल का बाद में तीर्थ नाम पड़ा। जहाँ जाने से लोगों को लाभ नहीं होगा बल्कि शास्त्र में वर्णित भक्ति करने से ही मानव को लाभ होगा।

How I did my Maha Kumbh yatra?

Remember the seven things while going to MahaKumbh Mela.

Mind set: Go because you have been called.

Patience.

Respect the no, when someone refuses to come. They have not been called (yet).

Be prepared to walk, even if you have flown.

Follow the police and their instructions. They are there for our safety and guidance. (The police & all those officials posted are really polite and helpful).

Do not fall prey to local gossip.

Follow Google maps (I found them so dynamic, that they matched the police instructions, barricades and open gates).

For your search needs, check the official website of MahaKumbh here.

What are your travel options: Rail, Road or Air & MahaKumbh is happening in Prayagraj, UP, India.

I wondered at the surveillance how the crowd management is happening simultanously of a mela spread over 80 km! I don't know how it was done and the Google maps kept me routing via the fastest (even if it meant standstill) route.

I had put the hotel I had booked as my destination in Google Maps & it lead me to the nearest official car parking area. Parking & hotel were 5 km apart connected by flat straight road.

Now let us understand the geography of the place for better understanding of movement of pilgrims in the world's holiest place here at Prayagraj & why one needs to walk?

Barricades are dynamic and will open & close as decided by the authorities depending on the crowd. Do not try to bypass the barricades by following advice of the locals around. Wait patiently, they will open and you will be allowed to go.

You can land anywhere and everybody's destination is Triveni Sangam (the place in the river bed where the Ganga, Yamuna & Saraswati rivers meet).

Notice the orange star in the above pic? That is Triveni Sangam. Everyone wants to have a dip here. But please understand that water is a fluid with no boundaries & Trivenic Sangam waters are spread everywhere - all along Ganga & Yamuna rivers. Do not crowd to one place. Instead disperse and have bath at any ghat which is less crowded. You will still gather equal punya for your benevolent act.

The left fork of the Y is Yamuna and the right one is Ganga. Both rivers meet and flow down togather as Ganga.

Since MahaKumbh Mela with its Akhadas and tent cities is spread on the Ganga side more, Yamuna side is relatively less crowded.

Approach Arail Ghat/ Someshwar ghat on Yamuna side for lesser crowds to experience Triveni Sangam bath.

Walk from your hotel in Prayagraj (avoid ricks and bikes) to Triveni Sangam. Ask police. Follow their directions and do not bypass barricades or take short cuts through little lanes inside. When everyone does that, the little lanes get choked up by people and you are now moving even slower. Better to be on the main road which has barricades for vehicles and is wide, manned by the police and is pedestrian friendly.

Go with a friend. One of you have the bath, while other takes care of our worldly possessions and then you do the same for your friend. Do not let go the hand of your beloved, parent, friend, child. Hold tight and walk.

There are changing rooms along the river banks and use them after the bath. Do not wait or sit or sleep to pass the time by the rivers or ghats. Let others take the holy dip and you come back to the hotel for a refreshing snack or a meal.

My itinerary:

Route:

Mumbai to Nagpur - via Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Samruddhi Mahamarg.

Nagpur to Prayagraj - follow the Google maps.

Prayaraj to Nagpur - follow the Google maps.

Nagpur to Mumbai - Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Samruddhi Mahamarg.

Vehicle: TATA Nexon! self driven.

Passengers: 4.

Weather: We got foggy cold weather with Sun during the mid-day. There wll be many other ways and means to do the Yatra even more comfortably. These are my personal memoirs, that should not be followed to visit MahaKumbh.

EXPERIENCE OF MAHAKUMBH YATRA -is coming up in the next post.
