Sadhguru on Maha Kumbh 2025: "What Is Happening Here Is A Phenomena Beyond Logic..."

Spiritual influencer Sadhguru has opened up about Maha Kumbh 2025. He said that it is something that everybody should see, everybody should experience. 

"They Are Here For Mukti, For Liberation..."

Speaking to Times Now, he said, "People are not here to buy a ticket to heaven, they are not looking for the pleasures of the heaven, they are here for mukti, for liberation. There is no civilization on the planet which has looked at life this way. When I look at life this way, see whatever we want in our lives, when you're in school you want one thing, when you go to college you want another thing, like this it goes on. But human intelligence is such, you don't have to go through all those things. And sitting in one place you can take yourself through all that."

"There Are Many Records Of It Way..."

He added, "The Mahakumbh or the Kumbh is not something of recent origin, it's been on for millennia. There are many records of it way, way back, but one clearly written record is probably Huen Tsang, the Chinese traveler who came, he says in those days that's in third century which is seventeen hundred years ago, he says there are five hundred thousand people for the Mahakumbh at that time. Five hundred thousand people seventeen hundred years ago when probably the country's population must have been four, five crores, because at the beginning of 1947 we were thirty-three crores, seventeen hundred years ago we could not have been three to four crores people. In that five hundred thousand, half a million people coming for this."

He continued, "UP government and of course Yogiji has given a massive call to people all over the world to come. But for these thousands of years, nobody gave a call. People just saw the calendar and they know this is the time to go and they converged, sending their… spending their last penny."

As the holy Mahakumbh draws millions of devotees, Sadhguru, speaking amidst the vibrant energy of Prayagraj, urged Indians not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime event.

"It Doesn't Matter If You're Religious..."

"There is no place like this on the planet. What is happening here is a phenomenon beyond logic. It is a civilizational phenomenon. It is something that everybody should see, everybody should experience. It doesn't matter if you're religious, not religious, spiritual, not spiritual, you are seeking liberation or you like bondage– it doesn't matter what! Still, as a civilizational phenomenon, it is too fantastic to be in Bharat and to miss it! Don't do that!"

"Just come for half a day, experience this whole exuberance. Being born in India you can't miss an event which happens once in 144 years!" emphasized Sadhguru.
