Haridwar Kumbh Mela 2021 (Haridwar kumbh mela 2021)
Kumbh Mela is being organized in Haridwar city called Uttarakhand’s Mayanagari this year i.e. 2021. As it is believed that due to Corona epidemic, this time Haridwar Kumbh Mela will be greatly affected, but still the preparations for Kumbh are in full swing.
Why does Kumbh Mela take place? Let’s learn
According to experts, Kumbh actually means Kalash. At the same time, one of the twelve zodiac signs is Aquarius, whose symbol is also the urn. While the history of Kumbh Mela is associated with the churning of the sea. It is believed that once Maharishi Durvasa came to heaven and met Indra Dev, here he gifted a divine garland to Indra Dev. But Indra could not understand the significance of that divine garland at that time and he put the garland given to Maharishi Durvasa to his Eravat elephant and started laughing.
Due to this behavior of Indra, Durvasa Rishi got angry and cursed the gods, due to the effect of this curse, the gods started weakening and the power of enemy Asuras / demons started increasing. Due to which the Asuras defeated the gods.
In such a situation, the deity met Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu advised the gods to churn the sea in Kshirsagar in association with the demons. From then on, the gods and the demons started churning the ocean together. The Mandaranchal mountain churn was built in the Samudra manthan and led to Vasukinag, while Lord Vishnu himself became the base of the Mandaranchal mountain with the Kachhap avatar. After which the work of churning of the sea started.
In the churning of the sea, the gods caught the tail of Vasukinag and the demons mouth (Vasukinag was the flame coming out of the mouth), it was transmitting power to the gods and the power of the demons was slowly eroding.
In this Samudra Manthan a total of 14 gems came out, the first poison came out which was drunk by Lord Shankar, after that some other things came out, then in the end Dhanwantari brought the urn of nectar, seeing the nectar in the hand of Dhanvantari, the demons ran to take it, seeing this Dhanvantari Ran away from there and a war started over the nectar between the gods and asuras.
It is said that in this war, drops of nectar fell in four places at the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati at Prayagraj (Allahabad), Godavari River at Nashik, Shipra River at Ujjain and Ganga River at Haridwar. For this reason, Kumbh Mela is held at these four places.
According to belief, this war between the gods and the demons lasted for 12 days, 12 days of the gods are considered equal to 12 years of the earth. This is the reason that the Kumbh Mela is held after every 12 years, it is believed that the way the old time comes after every 12 hours in the clock, similarly the water of rivers also brings nectar after every 12 years.
