Kumbh Mela is organized at some special places in the country where a complete energy mandal was created. Our earth is rotating on its axis, so it produces a 'centrifugal force' i.e. energy spreading outwards from the center. In the latitude of 0 to 33 degrees of the earth, this energy works on our system mainly in vertical and upward direction. Especially at 11 degrees latitude, the energies go straight upwards. Therefore, our ancient Gurus and Yogis did a lot of calculations and identified such places on earth where a particular event has a tremendous impact on human beings.
Many of these places are the confluence of rivers and bathing at these places has special benefits. If a person stays there on a particular day, then doors of rare opportunities open for him. Therefore, people reach there to take advantage of these opportunities. x.com
