The world famous Simhasth Mahakumbh is a religious, spiritual and cultural mega festival where a person feels self-purification and welfare. Millions of devotees follow the tradition by attending Simhasth Mahakumbh and also perform the rituals recommended by Vedas. Seers from all over world arrive here during Simhasth Mahakumbh and pilgrims find solace in their company in order to make their lives better. They look for Moksha (salvation) which means freedom from all kinds of bonds and attachment. In Indian culture, Moksha is the ultimate goal of life when a person gets rid of the cycle of life and death. The seers assemble at one place leaving behind their “Tap Sadhna” for the welfare of people. They share their experiences and wisdom with the common people. The assemblage of Rishi, Maharishi, Sadhu, Sant, and scholars in Simhasth Mahakumbh strengthens the spiritual tradition of the nation. This helps develop the religious atmosphere in the country. Jaghanvatrim Swadhitiarneva Swaroj Puro Aradanna Sidhuna Bibhed Giri Nava Vabhinna Kumbhbha Ga Indro Akrunut Swayugbhihi. (Rigveda) (The pilgrim visiting Kumbh festival destroys his sins through donations and Yagnas like when a Kuthar cuts the forests, Ganga river flows through the banks. Similarly, Kumbh festival destroys the sins committed in the past birth and showers good Karmas in the world.) Kumbhi Vedyam Ma Vathishtha Yagnayudhairtajyenatishitka (Rigveda) (As you attend the Kumbh festival, you don’t feel any pain after being satisfied with Ghee as poured in the Yagna Vedis) Yuvam Nara Stuvate Pajriyay Kakshivate Ardatam Purandhim Karotarachchaphadashravasya Vrishnaha Shatam Kumbh Asanchitsurayaha (Rigveda) Kumbho Vanishturjanita Shachibhiryasmignnagre Yogyamgarbho Antaha Plashirvyaktaha Shatdharustso Duhe Na Kumbhi Swadham Pitrabhyaha (Shukla Yahurveda) The Kumbh festival Provides materialistic pleasure to a man in this world and best pleasures in other worlds. Avishankalashum Suto Virshwa Arshannabhshriyaha Indoorindrayadheeyate. (Samved) Purna Kumbhodhi Kaal Ahistam Val Pashyamo Bahudha Na Santaha Sa Ima Virshwa Bhuvananipratyakalam Tamahuhu Parme Vyoman (Atharwaveda) (Sants! The Kumbh is celebrated after every 12 years which is seen in Prayag and other pilgrimage centres many times. The Kumbh is celebrated when particular celestial Yogas occur.) Chaturaha kumbhamshrachaturdha Dadami (Atharvaveda) Brahma says – I arranged for four Kumbhs at Haridwar, Prayag, Ujjain and Nasik to provide you with spiritual and materialistic pleasures. Kumbhika Dushikaha Peeyakan (Atharvaveda) The eternity of Mahakumbh has been explained in Vedas. Simhasth Mahakumbh is the mega event attached with our culture, which is celebrated on the banks of the river Kshipra. http://www.simhasthujjain.in/importance-of-simhasth/ <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.simhasthujjain.in%2Fimportance-of-simhasth%2F&h=0AQHDb0MMAQGiGG_YT-k15R3xHWX4jY2XwaDkQI52CJJkgw&enc=AZNoo8weu842UCzrvKXB8aupFXlI12yQ0RDymAeGUJpXehuOQFhdx2ajUxdV7Q5ycNWTpfXmDP7Bhf1_Uo8RY8Otie_fOUUk0Tdr8uzPlWRpEaKRtS1YXSqgF4-NOqYHDgLwf_ALZWnFVUIOazipf07uhGf87HqtHlWx5q8wqNiUfKMRkMM5VbkmOkwSPFOh4Ig&s=1> It is situated in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh state in India.
