- TIKAM SHARMA

S wami Harinarayanan, often referred to as Mouna Yogi is the national general secretary of Adi Shankara Advaita Akhada and chairman of the Sai Sanjeevan Trust.

In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Guardian, Swami Harinarayanan explained that the Maha Kumbh is not a man-made event but a divine occurrence aligned with celestial phenomena.

Q: How do you view the Maha Kumbh 2025? A: The Maha Kumbh is not a humanly planned event; it is aligned with a celestial phenomenon. According to tradition, when Garuda carried the Amrit Kalash, four drops of the nectar fell into four holy rivers, marking the sites where the Kumbh is now observed. It is believed that taking a dip in these sacred rivers during the Kumbh grants immortality. For followers of Sanatan Dharma, the Kumbh Mela is considered the holiest of all gatherings.
