Program

Are you ready to experience the divine awakening at Triveni in Maha Kumbh Mela, a cultural spectacle that occurs only once in 12 years attracting participants from around the globe to take a dip in the holy waters of Ganga, Yamuna, and the mystical Saraswati Goddess rivers. Imagine this, at the Maha Kumbh, you will find a vibrant blend of colors, beliefs, and ideas, all woven intricately into a mesmerizing display of unity. It is like a one-stop shop for discovering the essence of Hinduism, Eastern philosophy, and the profound science of Liberation - Moksha.

Prepare to be immersed in a sea of spiritual energy as you join the largest gathering of its kind in the world. Here, you will be in the company of yogis, naga sannyasis, mahatmas, rishis, sages, and spiritual masters from all walks of life, all ready to impart their timeless wisdom and provide guidance. It is a spiritual feast for the soul, and you will be left awe-inspired by the depth of knowledge and devotion that permeates the air. Namaste, dear fellow seekers of truth and spiritual enthusiasts.

Today, yogaritual wants to take you on a mesmerizing journey to the magnificent Maha Kumbh Mela - a place like no other, where the quest for liberation and Moksha takes center stage. Now, if you have ever reflected on this elusive concept of liberation that has captured the hearts of countless souls, the Maha Kumbh is the perfect place to quench your curiosity. It is a mystical gathering, a melting pot of spiritual wisdom, where every denomination and sect of yoga, Sanatan Dharma, Hinduism, Buddhism, and all other Eastern thoughts come together in a harmonious dance of beliefs and practices.

The real magic lies in the sea of humanity coming together in harmony. Millions of yogis, rishis, and all the other holy men, side by side, taking dips in the holy waters, creating an energy field that will surely restore your faith in humanity. You see, it is not about overpopulation; it is about co-existence and tolerance. In the Maha Kumbh, you will learn the secret of living in peace and unity, and that wisdom will follow you wherever you go. You will become a living embodiment of that beautiful energy. Speaking of energy, let them share a fascinating discovery by Masaru Emoto.

He showed through countless experiments that your thoughts can affect water. Pure thoughts of devotion and love can transform the very chemical properties of water. Now, imagine what happens when millions of devoted souls gather at the Maha Kumbh. Their sheer devotion turns the water into Amrit - the nectar of immortality. Taking a dip in these sacred waters cleanses all your karma. It is like a divine reset button. And the energy is electrifying. The sacred chants, the divine rituals, and the collective yearning for liberation create a truly transformative atmosphere.

You will feel an inexplicable connection with the universe as if you have tapped into the very essence of existence itself. So, if you have been seeking a deeper understanding of life, spirituality, and the path to liberation, look no further than the Maha Kumbh. It is an experience like no other, where your heart will be filled with wonder and your soul will dance in the divine rhythm of eternity. One should plan to arrive early in the morning on the first day of the retreat and aim to depart upon the conclusion of the retreat on the morning of the sixth day.

It is advisable to take part in the schedule so that the collective consciousness of all remains at the same level; however, it is not compulsory. Siva Om yoga practice includes a mystical union of the four main branches of yoga (Raja, Karma, Jnana, and Bhakti) combined in its original teachings from Ancient India, into a single seminar of 90 minutes. They are suitable for anyone and everyone. You may come alone, with a partner, with a friend, with your family, or with a group.

Major retreats

Three separate major retreats are being organized, each lasting five days. These three separate Major retreats include the royal spiritual bath. The royal spiritual bath (Shahi Snan) is the key highlight and perhaps the most significant ritual in the Maha Kumbh Mela for karma cleansing and achieving Moksha which is liberation from the cycle of birth death and rebirth, which brings also an end to all suffering. The Naga Sadhus, ascetic holy men, start by taking a sacred dip in the river. Ash-smeared Sadhus with dreadlocked hair create a mesmerizing and humbling spectacle in grand processions.

The ritual atmosphere is rich with sounds and scents. At dawn, the Naga Sadhus rush into the river, shouting ” Har Har Mahadev” and “Har Har Gange”, for the sacred first dip of the Royal Spiritual Bath (Shahi Snan). This moment exemplifies devotion and spirituality, revealing the strength of the human spirit. Experiencing the Royal Spiritual Bath (Shahi Snan) is to experience Ancient India’s cultural and spiritual essence in its fullest sense.

Recognized globally, the Royal Spiritual Bath (Shahi Snan) has evolved into a grand cultural spectacle, attracting devotees, tourists, researchers, and international media. Its inclusion in UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity has further consolidated its global importance. Each of the Shahi Snan (royal spiritual bath) holds significant astrological and spiritual importance, making the Shahi Snan a pivotal event in the Maha Kumbh Mela.

January 11 - 15, 2025: Makar Sankranti Snan royal spiritual bath - This date is considered auspicious for spiritual growth and cleansing and sets the tone for the Maha Kumbh
February 1 - 5, 2025: Mauni Amavasya Snan royal spiritual bath - This is the main Shahi Snan, believed to be the most auspicious for spiritual liberation
February 7 - 11, 2025: Basant Panchami Snan royal spiritual bath - This date is associated with the goddess Saraswati and is considered the most important for spiritual growth and knowledge

Minor retreats

Three separate minor retreats are being organized, each lasting five days. These three minor retreats do not include the royal spiritual bath (Shahi Snan), however, they must not be considered any lesser as they provide an opportunity to experience other aspects of Maha Kumbh which sometimes are overshadowed by the royal spiritual bath (Shahi Snan).
