Why we are in Kumbh?

Gurudev Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji says- "To save mankind, which is on the verge of collapse, the need is to transform the minds through Inner Awakening. Reason being, inner evolution alone can result in outer revolution." This is primarily Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan's vision statement as well- "From Self Awakening to Global Peace." DJJS is diligently dedicated towards fulfilling this prime objective. For this, we leave no stone unturned and ensure to extend our services at all such platforms, which are helpful in meeting this goal. Verily, the origin of Kumbh Mela by the great seers and sages of India is also rooted in helping a common man search for enlightened saints and attain from them the Supreme Knowledge. Therefore, availing this great opportunity provided in the form of the sacred practice of Kumbh, we remain present on this auspicious occasion to serve mankind by distributing the nectar of Divine Knowledge.

Why you should be at DJJS' encampment in Kumbh?

  • Despite putting in immense efforts through fasting, mantra chanting, telling the beads of rosary, scriptural reading, going on pilgrimages and visiting several shrines, is that "inner peace" still undiscovered?
  • Despite going through volumes of literature and attending multiple spiritual debates and seminars, is "God-Realisation" still a far-fetched dream?
  • Despite trying out various meditation practices, is the mind still restless and you crave for "relief from the ailments of anger, greed, ego, negativity, etc."?

For all such pertinent questions, DJJS does not indulge you in lengthy theories, enticing philosophies, or superficial and temporary remedies. DJJS offers that all-in-one master formula, which is eternally approved, eternally valid, and eternally applied in all ages and times. That panacea is Brahm Gyan- the eternal science of Dhyan (often translated as 'meditation' in general parlance).

H.H Ashutosh Maharaj Ji enunciates- 'Dhyan is not simply closing the physical eyes and sitting in a lotus posture. Rather, the process of Dhyan begins on the opening of the inner 'Divine Eye' (located between the eyebrows), whereupon a meditator experiences his radiant Divine Self within himself. Putting it succinctly, the revered Master says-

Dhyan = Dhyata (observer/practitioner) + Dheye (target)

The word 'Dhyan' is derived from the root 'dhyai', which means to contemplate upon. In this corporeal world, everything is transient. Therefore, the only target, which is perfect, absolute, and worthy to be focussed upon in Dhyan is the eternally effulgent Light of the Soul! This is a unanimous declaration of all sacred texts of wisdom. It is this Light, which is beheld in the inner world when a True Spiritual Master initiates a seeker into the eternal science of Brahm Gyan. That too, right there and then! Through this infallible technique of Dhyan, when one learns to establish himself in his Inner Self, which is the hub of peace, positivity, and all virtues, the same attributes then percolate in his personality.

'Kumbh' means pitcher, which symbolises a pot filled with contentment and joy- which is certainly the need of the hour. As per the legend, where drops of amrit fell in the fight between demons and Gods, those places gained immense spiritual significance and turned into the sacred sites of Kumbh. By the grace of H.H. Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, countless people all across the world have become the fortunate owners of not just few drops, but the whole amrit kalash within through Brahm Gyan. Today, their lives are brimming with divinity and piousness. Presently, we see the demonic powers (in the form of negativity, anger, violence, stress, depression, etc.) direly attempting to snatch the amrit (i.e. inner peace and positivity) from us. In such a scenario, it becomes all the more essential to secure this amrit, in order to lead a blissful and peaceful life.

Further, in view of the facts recorded in our authentic texts of wisdom, the word 'KUMBH' can be rightly expanded as:

K = Knowing the real objective of life;
U = Unveiling of the Light of Soul by the True Guru;
M = Marching ahead on the road of Inner Awakening;
B = Becoming an icon of change;
H = Helping in transforming the world!

DJJS, with the bountiful blessings and prudent guidance of Gurudev Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, feels proud to fulfil this very definition of Kumbh, in letter and spirit! There is a dire need for the residents of the 21st century, who are tightly clutched in the trap of stress, anxiety, directionless-ness, etc., to become the living embodiments of this definition of Kumbh.
