Increasing numbers situation deteriorated

Illegaly No. of website start booking for Kumbh Mela


Puri Shankaracharya, Swami Adhokshjanand Tirtha expressed his desire to invite the separatists to attend Kumbh Mela, the biggest religious festival of the country. Heading one of the five main religious seats of Hindus in the country, Swami is on a visit to Kashmir valley in connection with annual Amarnath Yatra.

During the visit he  met hard-line separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, moderate Hurriyat leader and chief Muslim Cleric Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman, Yasin Malik.

"Kumbh is a place where people from across the country converge. It is where Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswati meet. And we want to invite the people with separatist ideologies from Kashmir and other areas of North east to listen to them and discuss their problems with other countrymen," Swami told Hindustan Times.

"It is an attempt towards peace. We want to send a message to our countrymen that the issue in Kashmir is not Hindu versus Muslim or Indians versus Kashmiris but it is a political issue," he said.

The Shankaracharya, who met separatists in 1998 to convince them for talks, said that Kashmiris were not 'communal’ as was the belief across India.

"I have seen the real face of people of valley. Amarnath Yatra is successful only due to the efforts of local Kashmiri Muslims.  They carry the pilgrims on their shoulders, they guide and serve them during the Yatra. This image should be known to the whole World," Swami said.

"What one can infer from their thinking is that they respect Hindus but have some political issues which need to be addressed," he stated.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq confirmed that Swami met him at his Nigeen residence. "He maintained that religious people always side with truth. And he has come to portray the real situation of Kashmir in India. He also expressed his desire to invite Hurriyat Chairman to Kumbh mela as a leader and a prominent religious figure of the valley," Hurriyat said in a statement.

JKLF Chairman Yasin Malik hailed Shankacharya  for 'inviting  him to this year's Kumbh Mela for reaching out to the people of India'.

"Shankaracharya Jee as a religious leader rules the hearts and minds of billions of Indians. Kashmiris have always stood for communal harmony and have looked towards Swami Jee a true leader of masses and one who stands for truth and humanity," Malik said in a statement.

"During a visit to Kashmir in 1997-98,  when Acharya Jee saw the sufferings of people here, he was furious. He went back and raised his voice for Kashmiris and despite a lot of pressures refused to budge and stood for the just cause," Malik stated.


Puri Shankaracharya to invite Kashmir separatists to Kumbh Mela 2013


The Maha Kumbh Mela 2012-13 is more than five months away but organisers are already warning visitors to beware of websites and agencies that promise Swiss-style cottages at the Mela.

According to Additional Mela Officer Ashutosh Dwivedi, the matter came to light after certain individuals seeking to book land for Swiss-style cottages through unauthorised websites approached Mela organizers.

There are no websites issued by the Government for allocating cottages to private agencies, Mr. Dwivedi said, adding that necessary information about the Mela is available on the official website of the Maha Kumbh Mela.

Visitors and devotees would be accommodated in the tents of sadhus, State Tourism Department cottages and the hotels and lodges in the city.

At the 2001 Maha Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, private travel and hotel agencies were evicted from the premises after sadhus protested saying that luxury cottages vitiated the solemnity of the event.

Moreover, while Allahabad city undergoes major facelifts to be ready in time for the grand show, organisers have begun acquiring land at the Mela site. Forty-six villages near the Sangam spread over 20 km have been allotted to the 55-day event which will host an estimated 100 million people. The three days of “Shahi Snans” are estimated to draw as many as 60 million people.

Those events are Makar Sankranti (January 14), Mauni Amavasya (February 10) and Basant Panchami (February 15).

There is no arrangement for swiss style cottage at Kumbh Mela 2013

Maha Kumbh Mela alert on fake agencies


Shri Adi Shankaracharya or the first Shankara with his remarkable reinterpretations of Hindu scriptures, especially on Upanishads or Vedanta, had a profound influence on the growth of Hinduism at a time when chaos, superstition and bigotry was rampant. Shankara advocated the greatness of the Vedas and was the most famous Advaita philosopher who restored the Vedic Dharma and Advaita Vedanta to its pristine purity and glory.

Shankaracharya's Monastic Centers

Shri Shankaracharya established four 'mutts' or monastic centers in four corners of India and put his four main disciples to head them and serve the spiritual needs of the ascetic community within the Vedantic tradition. He classified the wandering mendicants into 10 main groups to consolidate their spiritual strength.

Each mutt was assigned one Hinduism Veda. The mutts are Jyothir Mutt at Badrinath in northern India with Atharva Veda; Sarada Mutt at Sringeri in southern India with Yajur Veda; Govardhan Mutt at Jaganath Puri in eastern India with Rig Veda and Kalika Mutt at Dwarka in western India with Sama Veda.

It is believed that Shankara attained heavenly abode in Kedarnath and was only 32 years old when he died.

Maha Kumbha 2013 : The Major Attraction of Mutts (Monastery)


From Mahabharat Jarasandha's Akhara is an ancient historical monument at Rajgir in Bihar, India

What is Akhada ?
The word “Akhada”, according to one historical version is originated from Sanskrit word “Akhanda” (constant / continuous / undivided). Its usage started from the need to maintain continuous vigil against the adversaries by the group / outfit of armed Sadhus and Sants specially established to protect their own faith and traditions. Small section / wing of the Akhada is called ANI or KHALSA.

Foreign aggressions as well as intra-sampraday differences caused growth of the Akhadas (6th century onwards). Over the years, these Akhadas have grown up into an institution like the Mutts and they are managed and run by the office-bearers like Shri Mahant, Mukhya Mahants, Sthaniya Mahant (Thanapati), Sachiv, Adhikari, Karbaris, Kothari, Pujari, etc. The members of the Akhadas practice ‘Bramhacharya’ and ‘Virakti’ and they propagate their faith to instill moral, cultural and spiritual values in the society.

The AKHADA is an armed outfit of the Sampradayas. Avahan Akhada was the first one to come into existence in 547 AD.
