40 Lakh People Take Holy Dip During the Second Shahi Snan of the Nashik Kumbh Mela

Colorful joy, dancing and celebrations marked the second holy dip (Shahi snan) of the Kumbh Mela in Nasik here this Sunday. 40 Lakh people took a dip in the twin locations of Nasik and Trimbakeshwar during the second main shahi snan on Sunday.  For such a large crowd the Kumbh was amazingly well organized. However radom anti-Hindu newspapers refuse to recognize the scale of the event and focus or minor problems in isolated locations.  http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/kumbh-mela-heavy-footfall-for-second-shahi-snan-chaos-reigns-supreme/. The program was broadcast live on kumbhmela.com. Thousands watched and enjoyed the Shahi Snan even though they could not make it in person.

Second Shahi Snan 03

The Shahi Snan is the spiritually opportune time where the celestial powers are at the peak and help people move closest to the space of enlightenment. This Shahi Snan is the most important of the three Snans for this Kumbh Mela. The waters of the Kumbh become extremely purified because of the presence of innumerable devotees, advanced seekers and enlightened beings. Their thoughts of devotion and seeking directly affect the water and make it nectar. Taking a dip in that water removes unwanted thought patterns or Karmas that are in people. This is the main reason why millions of people go to the kumbh every time – uninvited and without any marketing. Their experience is their marketing.
