It is a life time opportunity for all those seekers to experience the nothingness in the congregation of naga Sadhus in Haridwar. Naga sadhus have come down to Haridwar to attend Maha Khumbh.Thousands of naked and semi-clad Naga Sadhus, Indian Holy Spiritually Elevated Men are using the Kumbh mela festival, the world's largest spiritual gathering, this year, to campaign against global warming.
The 3 month Kumbh mela festival started in Haridwar, along the banks of the Mother Ganges or River Ganga on January 14th and it is expected to attract over 5 million pilgrims, many of whom will take the ritual bath in the Ganges.
The Indian holy men are referred to as Naga Sadhus - monks who normally live in quiet isolation in the Himalayan mountains or forests in India but who venture out of their caves and mountain retreats, and descend down to the banks of India's most holy river to take part in the festival which takes place once every 12 years. It is an unique opportunity for the seekers to feel the nothingness for their spiritual elevation amongst these sadhus.
Leader of the 250,000 strong Naga Sadhus says, quotes:
“Since Kumbh Mela is the largest spiritual gathering, we have decided to do our bit to save the planet from global warming. There will be a huge presence of international communities and press during the fair. We’ll utilise the occasion to generate a ‘save the planet’ campaign worldwide,” he said
“We are the first to realise the impact of global warming as it causes glaciers to melt in the Himalayan region. I am telling you from my personal experience, I felt the impact of global warming almost 25 years back. It’s not a very new phenomenon,” he said. The spiritual leader claimed in the Himalyas a few decades back, there were a variety of species of birds and flowers which are being lost due to the effects of global warming."
let us join together to assure these sadhus that their abode "Himalayas" will be protected at all cost. It is becuase of these Sadhus continous meditation and grace on us that we feel protected from all evils of natures fury. We need their grace on us in days to come as we are likely to see more and more natures fury.
Save Himalayas save Earth.
