It has been over two years since i wrote a line in this blog...looks like it is time to come back....
I decided a few months to travel to the Kumbh Mela at Prayag(Allahabad)....Why ?
I still don't have an complete answer. A lot of people said I should not do it .... it is possibly the dirtiest place....yes most south Indians think north India is not all that clean.... Some said I should take a holiday in Goa instead... My wife was afraid I turn to be a Sadhu if I get to the Kumbh..But still I have decided to go...Why?
I tried looking for info from various sources in the south India about the Kumbh. What its significance was ? Why was it important for so many people to come there ? Why such a mass bathing ritual? Nobody really had any idea about what the Kumbh was.
Personally I had questions on the number of people who were at the Kumbh ? Why were so many people from outside their. I decided it would be best to travel there to get the answers. I decided it would be fun to understand the answers to all these questions.
I am no ragged renouncer walking penniless on the road to find spiritual answers, but here to understand the facets of the country which I or most people are not aware of ....How much of this I am going to achieve...I don not know ...I will come back with some answers.
I will be updating my answers only after I return to Bangalore....So hold on till then...just a week from now..
