The common meaning of Kumbh is a pot.
But the deeper meaning is 'the place or container where something is collected, safe and protected'.
The name of Kumbh is given to the holy assembly of deities at four places in India i.e. Haridwar, Prayagraj, Ujjain and Nashik. In fact it was and still is a gathering of scholars, scientists, experts, researchers, inventors, and evaluators as well as curious, followers, viewers, appraisers.
Nowadays, international, national, global, research seminars and conferences on various subjects, themes are organized by Research Centers, Educational institutes, universities and publishers, non-governmental and private institutions. Along with these meetings, the sponsors do their business, and thrive on other things as well. All activities have been helpful in keeping the world moving and the economic cycle as well and economy has been a major objective for centuries. We business, trading, exporting have always been respected in India but other works also received equal respect. Dharma (The Ethical Duties), Artha (The Money), Kama (The needs. desires), and Moksha (salvation) is the four cycles of purushartha. (The objectives of Human incarnation) and these are the four wheels of the chariot deemed as a person, society, and nation. These chariot have to Balance, harmony, equity and equal distribution among the variables, It was and still is the moral duty of the king, guru / teacher, parents, system, officer, minister. They were being given salaries, awards and best training for these work.
In reality.....
Such seminars have been happening in our country / India for thousands of years. Representative scholars from all over the world, the curious would come to these seminars, present their research, great research, inventions, give lectures and thus spread new things and knowledge.
Kumbh the great/ major gathering held in four years and conferences were held annually, half-yearly or contemporary in states, districts and universities. As it happens even today. It was still in these events that institutions, businessmen, industrialists, workers, were making their new contracts, new employees, officers, officers and individuals also chose them. In these events, new relationships were also formed, were also self-made, that is, the development, expansion and promotion of trade and behavior, religion and culture were also done. All these are mentioned briefly in the Sangam literature.
The mythological story of Kumbh (Puran means always novel) is such that the Samudra Manthan was organized in which scholars, experts, deities came from all over the world. Demons and humans also gathered. Brihaspati, the guru of gods and humans, and Shukracharya, the guru of the Danavas.
Brahma Ji the creator, was chosen as the father of knowledge, the father of wisdom, Vishnu, the protector and Lord Shiva Adidev.
Many inventions appeared in this sea churning. It has a symbolic meaning. The brainstorming of knowledge and combination of researchers researching knowledge.
Various things came out of that churn, new inventions were made. Holy Cow (Gau )(cow KAMDHENU) (Gau also means knowledge), airplane, chariot, elephant, horse, gemstone, Vaidurya Mani (Diamond /kohenur), The stone to convert Metals into Gold, lotus, nectar, poison, celestial medicine. In a logical sense, these were new inventions, formulas, theses, and patent copyrights.
Here everything was distributed on the basis of merit, but who has the right to make the nectar that would make a human immortal, became a matter of dispute.
Vishnu took this Amrit Kumbha and put it in four major places. Haridwar, Prayagraj, Ujjain and Nashik. Apart from this, drops of nectar also fell in other places of the country. Pushkar, and other Holy ponds. mountain peaks and beaches where there are shrines.
Now you consider and consider, scholars still gather in these places and at present, there are research conferences, Kumbh, discussion of knowledge all over the world. All the participants receive some fruits, rewards, rewards and new energy.
It is very humbly requested that from this article of mine, you please add your information and ask questions to me. Distribute it on all social media.
Thank you for reading.
Jai Bharat.
