Abstract

The Mahakumbh Mela, one of the most significant religious and cultural events in Sanatan Dharma, symbolizes the eternal cycle of churning—where both poison and nectar emerge, reflecting the balance of adversity and divinity. Mahakumbh-2025, a grand spiritual gathering occurring after 144 years, stands as a testament to India's rich traditions and unity, bringing together millions of devotees in sacred observances. This paper explores the historical, religious, and cultural significance of Kumbh Parv, emphasizing its role in self-purification, societal evolution, and the unification of the Indian subcontinent. Through the lens of Sanatan Dharma, the paper examines the adaptations of Kumbh traditions over time, the role of Dharma Sansads in addressing contemporary challenges, and the broader spiritual and administrative implications of such a massive congregation. As the churning continues, the Mahakumbh remains a beacon of Sanatan philosophy, promoting faith, resilience, and the pursuit of divine wisdom.
