Kumbh: The Hidden Secret Revealed! || Acharya Prashant (2024)
Video Information: 29.12.24, New Delhi
Description:
This video explores the Vedantic meaning of Kumbh, describing it as a metaphorical churning between gods and demons, driven by their shared desire for immortality. The gods represent a self-oriented ego, while the demons symbolize a maya-oriented ego.
This churning is a reflection of inner conflict and self-exploration, where an individual must dive deep within to attain self-realization. The nectar of immortality, or amrit, is not a physical reward but the result of dedicating oneself to the search for the soul. True fulfillment lies in renouncing false ego and desires while remaining steadfast in the pursuit of truth.The true essence of Kumbh lies not in external pursuits or pleasures but in the deep, transformative journey of inner realization and self-discovery.

00:00Acharya ji, greetings. My name is Anushka, and I am from Prayagraj.
00:09Kumbh!
00:10Greetings Acharya ji.
00:12Yes.
00:13Acharya ji, I am from Prayagraj, and preparations for Mahakumbh are going on in full swing in Prayagraj.
00:21So sir, how can we look at Mahakumbh from the Vedic perspective?
00:26How can we look at this from a religious perspective, and how can we explain this to people?
00:31So sir, this is my question.
00:33I had written a very long article on Mahakumbh 3-4 years ago.
00:39I had written 2-3 articles.
00:41So you should first understand it, so that its mythological background becomes clear to you.
00:46Otherwise I will have to tell you the whole story.
00:49Only after that I will tell you its Vedic meaning.
00:53You read the story, I will tell you the Vedic meaning.
00:56Okay?
00:57Alright sir.
00:58Thanks a lot.
00:59Yes.
01:00Next question.
01:01Yes, but you must come to the program.
01:03But come after reading.
01:04Take these questions and lay after tomorrow, and remind me.
01:07Same girl.
01:09Yes sir.
01:10So, this time Mahakumbh is happening, a lot of preparations are going on.
01:16So, I have made up my mind that this time I will tell people the true meaning of our religion.
01:22The true meaning of Mahakumbh.
01:24I searched a lot for your video on YouTube, but couldn't find it.
01:28But I read your article.
01:30So, on behalf of my entire Prayagraj team, I request you sir, please explain its Vedic meaning in a better way,
01:39so that we can explain its essence to people in a more correct way, to educate others.
01:48Mahakumbh is mentioned in two or three texts in the Puranas.
01:53So, there are two or three different stories.
01:57But there is a common thing in all these stories is that drops fell at four places.
02:04Let us take the most popular story.
02:07Let's discuss about it.
02:10The most popular story is that there are gods, there are demons, but no matter how much difference is there between the two,
02:29no matter the animosity, there is one common wish that somehow they should be safe from dying.
02:37Somehow they should be safe from dying.
02:41Who are these gods and demons?
02:44Both of them are forms of ego.
02:48Gods are also egoistic.
02:50Demons are also egoistic.
02:53The ego wants to avoid death.
02:57The dying person is in danger.
03:01The dying person is in danger.
03:05So, the only difference is that you can say to the gods that they are having self-oriented ego,
03:14who keeps a distance from the truth, but their face is towards the truth.
03:20So, at least when they are defeated, they run towards.
03:24It is said that all the gods ran and took refuge in Mahadev.
03:29So, at the very least, when they are defeated, they get some wisdom as their face is towards the truth.
03:42But they themselves are not the truthful.
03:44They maintain distance from the truth.
03:46So, you can find all kinds of demerits that even gods can have in them.
03:53So, gods also cheat.
03:55Gods also have greed.
03:57Gods also have fear.
03:59And sadly, even gods steal.
04:01There are multiple stories of even gods becoming victims of their lust.
04:08And demons are also egoistic.
04:11But demons, you can say that they are narcissistically egoistic.
04:16They have misdirected ego.
04:20So, when demons are defeated, we don't often read that the demons are taking refuge.
04:26They will never go directly to Mahadev or Lord Vishnu.
04:31We are not going.
04:32This will not happen.
04:34Their guru is different.
04:36What is the name of the guru of demons?
04:39Shukracharya.
04:40So, their guru is also different.
04:42Asuracharya, Shukracharya.
04:44I found a cool name, by the way.
04:47I will use it.
04:51This name says it all about you, not me.
05:03So, actually they used to be fighting among them.
05:08But on this one issue, they reached a compromise.
05:12They now say, we will cooperate, synergism.
05:15On which issue?
05:18Become immortal by any means.
05:20So, they went ahead to become immortal.
05:22And Lord Vishnu told them that there is nectar somewhere beneath this vast ocean.
05:31The seabed.
05:34What does that mean?
05:38The deception is small.
05:42And the submerged area is large.
05:47Both the gods and demons had enjoyed all the things on land.
05:51And even after that, they had greed in them.
05:53So, having greed in them also,
05:55they had the fear that one day they would die.
06:00So, the bigger realm is not outside,
06:05which both the gods and demons had enjoyed.
06:07But it is inside.
06:09So, the churning of the ocean,
06:11which they were about to start now,
06:13is the ocean within.
06:15That is, Bhavsagar.
06:19That means the gods and demons,
06:21whatever they could possibly achieve in the world,
06:25wealth, power, position, prestige,
06:28women, men,
06:30they had achieved everything.
06:32But they still did not get any satisfaction.
06:35So, God tells both of them that
06:37now both of you should start self-reflection together.
06:40So, the churning of the ocean is actually
06:42self-reflection.
06:44And self-reflection is
06:46more difficult than any external search.
06:51Just like what is 30% of the land on earth
06:54and what is the other 70%?
06:56And the height of Everest is 9 km.
06:59But the depth of the deepest point in the ocean is 11 km.
07:04Every area of land, every point,
07:08we have now measured it.
07:12Through cartography, through satellite,
07:14we have put it on the map.
07:16But do you know that?
07:18We still do not know
07:20that our ocean bed mapping
07:22is still not complete.
07:24And we do not know.
07:26We do not know the complete map
07:28of the oceans at all.
07:30Remember what was MH370?
07:32Malaysian Airlines?
07:36It had taken off from Malaysia
07:40and then it disappeared.
07:41It has not been found till date.
07:43It has been almost 10 years now.
07:45If it had fallen on land,
07:47it would definitely have been found.
07:49If it had fallen in the sea,
07:50it would not have been found.
07:51Because even today,
07:52we do not have a complete map of the ocean.
07:54We have reached the moon.
07:56We have reached Mars.
07:57But we do not have a complete information
07:59about our oceans.
08:01That which is not known
08:03is called an ocean.
08:06The meaning is that
08:08both gods and demons,
08:10you know the world,
08:11rule over the world.
08:12But you do not know yourself.
08:14You do not know these things
08:15which are inside.
08:16Nectar will be found here.
08:17So start churning.
08:19Do you understand this?
08:20The ocean is the deity of whom?
08:22Yes, of the mind,
08:25of the entire realm of the ego.
08:27So it looks small
08:28but the world is very big.
08:30And usually we mean by that,
08:31it's very small.
08:33The world is very big.
08:34No, it's much bigger than the world.
08:37It is easy to search through the whole world
08:39but it is very difficult
08:41to know this.
08:42Apart from this,
08:43even if you search the entire world,
08:45you will not find immortality.
08:47Immortality will be found
08:48only after screening this.
08:49It is much more difficult to screen this.
08:51So this is the meaning of churning the ocean.
08:53This has to...
08:57Are you understanding this?
08:59Now these two had never done this work before.
09:01Otherwise all the types of worlds that exist
09:03and this and that,
09:05all these were conquered by the gods, demons.
09:07What else did they have to do?
09:10There are thousands of stories of them,
09:12one after the other.
09:13There is such and such demon,
09:14he did this, he did that.
09:16Even the most impossible thing
09:18that existed in this world,
09:20they had witnessed it.
09:22And even after that, how were they?
09:24Oh, completely shaken, scared.
09:29Then they were told to start self-reflection.
09:33Now whatever happens further in self-reflection,
09:37all these are symbols
09:40of internal events.
09:43So Mandar, Mandarchal, mountain,
09:48how did it help them?
09:50He became a rod.
09:52Rod churning rod.
09:55And the king of snakes, Vasuki,
09:59how did he help?
10:01He became a rope.
10:05And they put him in the ocean.
10:07That after churning it.
10:09Something will come out.
10:10Now this should not be taken as a fact
10:12that with the help of a mountain and a huge snake
10:14whose mouth was held by the demons,
10:16its tail was held by the gods
10:18and they were pulling it
10:19and in this way churning was taking place,
10:21it was being churned.
10:23Understand the meaning.
10:25That going inside oneself,
10:27what is it?
10:28Seeing it is so difficult that one needs
10:32a big mountain and the biggest snake.
10:34Meaning the biggest rope is needed.
10:36It is a very difficult task to go inside oneself.
10:38Anyone can roam around outside
10:41to see inside what is going on.
10:43Self-observation is the most difficult.
10:45So they had started all this.
10:50And it is said that
10:52to protect the mountain that it doesn't slip and fall
10:56on the rope.
10:57So Lord Vishnu sat below in the form of a tortoise.
11:00That if it slips and falls,
11:01I will protect it from below.
11:03Which means that the biggest power
11:07one has to take its support.
11:08Then its internal process gets complete.
11:13What does it mean?
11:15That the one who is sitting
11:18in the form of a tortoise
11:19is sitting still to support the mountain on his back.
11:22What is the meaning of that?
11:24If there is no support of the greatest,
11:26there is no loyalty and dedication towards it,
11:28then self-observation, self-knowledge
11:30will never be possible.
11:31Meaning that in Vedic terms,
11:33there should be love and respect for truth.
11:37And in terms of ethics,
11:38one should not love anyone except the truth.
11:41It shouldn't happen.
11:43So when you reject all other supports,
11:46that support becomes available automatically.
11:49From which nectar
11:53is available.
11:54The one who has held on to all other supports,
11:57that support itself is death.
11:59Then how will you get the nectar?
12:03Those who want the nectar,
12:04you should first let go of the support.
12:06Because the support itself is death.
12:08The one you have held on to is itself mortal.
12:10Then how will you survive by relying on it?
12:16So they started
12:18their churning
12:20with great effort.
12:25The problem came right in the beginning.
12:30What was the problem?
12:31What came out?
12:34So that means when you start your inner process,
12:37the greatest danger is right in the beginning.
12:42What came out first?
12:44Halahal
12:46Halahal came out.
12:47Halahal came out.
12:49And it was so hot,
12:51burning and
12:52such smokes, fumes
12:54were coming out of it
12:55that it seemed that the whole world will burn
12:57because of it.
13:00So everyone got worried.
13:04But Lord Vishnu was already supporting them.
13:06He was sitting under the ocean.
13:09To whom did they run to then?
13:11They ran to Mahadev.
13:13They said that we have extracted the poison
13:15by churning the ocean.
13:18And it is burning the whole world.
13:19What should we do?
13:21Mahadev must have said,
13:22you are doing all this on my instructions.
13:25But he would never say that.
13:27He said bring it on.
13:29Now you destroy the whole universe.
13:32It would be a violation of my rights.
13:35The job of destroying the universe is mine.
13:38I will not allow you children to do these things.
13:42I will do it
13:43when there is a need.
13:45He said bring it on.
13:47So he drank it and the elements
13:49got accumulated in his throat.
13:52That is why we know him as Neelkanth.
13:57That means
13:58he is the one
13:59who can
14:03bear the poison
14:06without allowing the poison
14:08to touch our centre
14:09or our soul
14:10or life.
14:13This is Shivatva.
14:15We are not afraid of poison.
14:17The one who is afraid
14:18is actually afraid of dying.
14:21He gladly asks for it
14:22to save the world.
14:26That is Shivatva.
14:28Are you understanding?
14:30Dirt.
14:31He willingly accepts dirt.
14:34The dirt that
14:36the world is afraid of.
14:38He says bring it on.
14:39I will accept it.
14:41I will accept it.
14:42Because
14:43he is not afraid
14:45that they will become dirty.
14:49Others will become dirty
14:50because they are dirty.
14:52He is not afraid
14:53because no matter
14:54how much dirt he accepts
14:55he cannot become dirty
14:56as he is Shiva.
14:58So that is why
14:59he fearlessly accepts the dirt.
15:02Are you getting the gist of this?
15:07The ego gets affected
15:08but not the soul.
15:09Right?
15:11So who has to
15:12take care of the company?
15:14The ego has to.
15:16The one who is self-sufficient
15:17deliberately chooses
15:18bad company.
15:21What for?
15:23To clean up.
15:24So he said bring it on.
15:25Give all the poison to me.
15:28Here.
15:30So their lives were saved.
15:31They ran away.
15:32Now what does it mean
15:33that the poison came out
15:34in the beginning itself?
15:36This means that
15:38whenever you start
15:41any spiritual process
15:44the greatest danger
15:45is in the beginning itself.
15:47The strongest poison
15:48will be found
15:49right in the beginning.
15:51I will give you an example.
15:5490% of the people
15:56who leave Gita Samagam
15:57and run away
15:58are those who are
15:59in their first or second month.
16:03Those who are
16:04in their first or second month
16:05or at the most
16:06in their third
16:07are in the greatest danger.
16:11They are the ones who run away.
16:13There is a very strong recoil.
16:17Very strong.
16:22For the one who has
16:23withstood it
16:24the danger now becomes
16:25very less.
16:26But the one who has to die
16:27fall
16:28break
16:29he will break
16:30at the very beginning.
16:31This is the most likely thing.
16:34This is the meaning
16:35of halahal
16:36appearing in the
16:37beginning itself.
16:39If someone is
16:40sitting inside you
16:41he knows
16:42that something
16:43dangerous is starting.
16:44He says
16:45don't let it start
16:46stop it in the
16:47beginning itself.
16:51So the initial months
16:52are the most dangerous
16:53the most sensitive.
16:55If you survive
16:56in the initial months
16:57then you are safe.
16:58The one who will fall
16:59will fall in the
17:00beginning itself.
17:01And the one who survived
17:026 months
17:038 months
17:04a year
17:05now even if you
17:06kick him
17:07he won't leave.
17:09He says
17:10I don't want to go.
17:16Are you understanding?
17:20That was happening
17:21then and it is
17:22happening even today.
17:23What to do?
17:25You will start
17:26this self-introspection
17:27in the beginning itself.
17:28You will find this
17:30hot boiling poison
17:32and the poison
17:33will scare you.
17:34You will say that
17:35we don't want to do this.
17:36We are getting poisoned
17:37in the beginning itself.
17:38In the beginning
17:39we are getting poisoned.
17:40Who knows
17:41what will come in the future.
17:42Stop it.
17:43Stop it.
17:44Don't stop.
17:45If you cross
17:46that initial hurdle
17:47then there will be
17:48a blissful journey ahead.
17:49What kind of bliss?
17:50Oh my god!
17:51What all did we get?
17:52Aravath elephant
17:53came out.
17:54Lakshmi ji
17:55Goddesses came out.
17:56Apsaras came out.
17:57Kamdhenu came out.
17:58Kalpaviksha came out.
18:00All kinds of
18:01gems and stones
18:02pearls
18:03all came out.
18:04That Dhanvantri Vaidya
18:05came out.
18:06And
18:07who is that
18:08architect guy?
18:09What is his name?
18:10Vishwakarma.
18:13Architects of God
18:14Vishwakarma came out.
18:16All of them are coming out
18:17one after the other.
18:18Goodies.
18:20These are just
18:21two or four.
18:22There must be more.
18:23Yes, there was a horse
18:24Uchha Shravas.
18:25It was amazing.
18:26It came out.
18:29All kind of amazing
18:30things coming out.
18:32Fourteen Aravath elephants.
18:35Fourteen types of
18:36these things.
18:38These divine
18:39things appearing.
18:41Now what does this mean?
18:43See there is illusion
18:44sitting inside.
18:45When you start
18:46introspection
18:47first she stops you
18:48by scaring you.
18:49So what did she give
18:50you in the beginning?
18:51Poison.
18:52After that she stops
18:53you by tempting you.
18:54Then she gave
18:55wonderful things.
18:56She gave Apsaras.
18:57She gave a cow.
18:58She gave a horse.
18:59Gave money.
19:00She said stop at this.
19:01Stop at this.
19:02Don't move ahead.
19:03Stop at this.
19:04You already got
19:05some wonderful things.
19:06What is there beyond this?
19:07What will you do
19:08with the nectar?
19:09The nectar means soul.
19:10Mrityurma Amritam Gamaya
19:11The Amrit in this
19:12Amrit means soul.
19:13Only that is Amrit.
19:14There is no other Amrit.
19:20So Maya stops
19:21in the process
19:22of self-reflection
19:23by scaring.
19:26And the ones who
19:27turns out to be smart
19:28does not get scared
19:29and finds some solution
19:30or finds someone
19:31like Mahadev
19:32who says bring it to me.
19:33The poison is yours
19:34but I will still accept it.
19:35I will drink it.
19:36If you find someone
19:37like him or with
19:38any such help
19:39if one escapes from fear
19:40then Maya stops him
19:41by luring him.
19:42So all these things
19:43are coming out.
19:44Wonderful.
19:45Interesting things
19:46are coming out.
19:47It is good.
19:48The gods are happy.
19:49The demons are also happy.
19:50In the end
19:52comes the Kumbh.
19:53Kumbh means vessel.
19:54Pitcher.
19:56Utensil.
20:00This comes out.
20:02Now that was
20:03the real thing.
20:04It came out.
20:07So then
20:09the fight started.
20:11Shoe pelting.
20:16Now both are egoistic.
20:19All the tendencies
20:20are present
20:21in both the gods and demons.
20:23So Indra signaled
20:24his son Jayant
20:25to take the Kumbh
20:26and run away.
20:27Everyone is clapping now.
20:29Mission successful.
20:32He takes the Kumbh away
20:33and the gods also left.
20:34The demons saw
20:35how the gods
20:36had deceived them.
20:38They chased him
20:39and eventually caught him.
20:41When they caught him
20:42so Jayant was the son
20:43of Devraj Indra.
20:44So all the gods came
20:46stood in his support.
20:48So they started fighting.
20:51Their fight
20:52continued for 12 days.
20:53It is said that
20:54the demons
20:55continued for 12 days.
20:57It is said that
20:58on these 12 days
20:59there are not just 4 Kumbhs
21:00but 12.
21:01It is said that
21:024 are here on earth
21:038 are above.
21:06It is said that
21:07the fight continued
21:08for 12 days
21:09and one day of gods
21:10is equal to
21:11one year of humans.
21:12So there are 12 Kumbhs.
21:13You get only 4.
21:14The rest 8 are there.
21:15VIP.
21:19So
21:21the battle
21:22is still going on.
21:23Now wherever the battle
21:24takes place
21:25the demons usually win.
21:29The gods were defeated
21:30again.
21:32Sometimes the goddesses
21:33came to save
21:34sometimes someone else.
21:35This was their routine.
21:38So
21:39by now
21:40even Lord Vishnu
21:43had
21:45become a little free
21:46liberated.
21:48What was he till now?
21:50Tortoise.
21:52Now all valuable
21:53stuffs came out.
21:54So he also came out
21:55and saw that
21:56they were fighting again.
21:58The gods
22:00still they are fighting.
22:02Then from the tortoise
22:03he became Mohini.
22:06All of them
22:07together
22:08cheated the poor demons.
22:12These 9 demons
22:13were deceived.
22:15After that
22:16he became Mohini
22:17and he lured them
22:18and then he started dancing.
22:19Now when he started dancing
22:20all the demons
22:21also started dancing.
22:22And meanwhile
22:23he slid the pitcher
22:24towards the gods
22:25and said that
22:26you drink it at once.
22:28In the meantime
22:29I am making them dance.
22:31There was one among them.
22:34What was his name?
22:36Yes.
22:37Yes. Yes.
22:38The guy responsible
22:39for the eclipse.
22:41So
22:45he saw that
22:47this is a fraud.
22:49So he said
22:50if you can become Mohini
22:51then I can become God.
22:53So he went as God
22:55and
22:56he drank the nectar.
22:57Understand the meaning
22:58of all this.
22:59One who has learnt Vedas
23:00he will see the meaning
23:01of each and everything.
23:02Right?
23:04So he said that
23:05I will drink.
23:07So
23:09he picked it up
23:10and drank it
23:11and he thought
23:12he would
23:13make the rest of the
23:14Asuras drink it too.
23:15So the gods
23:16started to chase him.
23:18The
23:19demons were chasing him
23:20on the other side.
23:21Both of them
23:22were chasing him together.
23:23So the poor fellow
23:24got very scared.
23:25He got so scared
23:26that his hands
23:27started trembling.
23:28So it was flying
23:29through the sky
23:30and it is said
23:31that the drops
23:32fell here and there
23:33at four places
23:34on the banks of the river.
23:35That is why
23:36Kumbh is celebrated.
23:37Then he was caught
23:38but what happened
23:39to him by then?
23:40He became immortal.
23:41He became immortal.
23:42He was caught
23:43and cut in half
23:45and when he was
23:46stealing all this
23:47the
23:48sun and the moon
23:49went there
23:50and threw light on him.
23:51They lit torches
23:52and caught him.
23:53So
23:54when they cut him
23:55into two pieces
23:56he said that
23:57just as you cut me
23:58I will also cut you.
23:59So then he causes
24:00eclipses,
24:01solar eclipse
24:02and lunar eclipse.
24:03You got me caught.
24:04So one day of the year
24:05I will eat you.
24:06This is the story.
24:09This is its
24:10whole tale.
24:11Now what does this mean?
24:12Amrit
24:14is at the center
24:15of the story.
24:17Amrit
24:18is in the center
24:21and where can we
24:22get Amrit from?
24:25By self-introspection.
24:29The
24:30more a person
24:31knows himself
24:33the more he will
24:34become free
24:35from himself
24:36free from death.
24:37What we have
24:38become is known
24:39as death.
24:41What you think
24:42of yourself
24:43is known as death
24:45and the more you
24:46look at yourself
24:47the more you
24:48understand that
24:49what I think of myself
24:50is all futile.
24:51I am actually
24:52not that.
24:53Negation
24:54Morality
24:55Amrit does not
24:56mean gaining something.
24:57Amrit means
24:58being free from death.
24:59This is the element
25:00of Amrit.
25:02To be free
25:03from death
25:04one who stopped
25:05at poison
25:06will also not be
25:07able to get free
25:08from death
25:09and one who
25:10stopped at gems
25:11Kaam, Dhenu
25:12and Kalpatri
25:13will also not be
25:14able to get free
25:15from death.
25:16One who stops
25:17at any of his
25:18false identities
25:19and the desires
25:20that arise from it
25:21will remain
25:22trapped in death.
25:24So this is the
25:25true essence of
25:26the story of Kumbh.
25:29What you are
25:30and what your
25:31desires are
25:32that is death
25:33although your
25:34wish is to never die
25:36but whatever
25:37you have become
25:40is death itself
25:41that is why
25:42it tries many
25:43ways to escape.
25:47Whatever you
25:48associate yourself
25:49with
25:50whatever the
25:51thing is that
25:52you desire
25:53all of them
25:54are they
25:55are all
25:56something that
25:57is constantly
25:58changing.
25:59Firstly, secondly
26:00they are not
26:01what they appear
26:02to be
26:03that is death.
26:04Death means
26:05that what is
26:06there now
26:07will not be
26:08there tomorrow
26:09and whatever
26:10topics we
26:11associate with
26:12they are all
26:13the same
26:14so what is
26:15it is not so
26:17it is not like
26:18it is not like
26:19that even today itself
26:20this is called death.
26:22So Amrit means
26:23cutting away
26:24your ignorance.
26:27The search
26:28for Amrit
26:29is to cut away
26:30all the beliefs
26:31we have
26:32in our minds
26:33about ourselves
26:34and the world.
26:35This is what it means.
26:43And this
26:44inner search
26:45can happen
26:46only when
26:47there is
26:48devotion and
26:49love towards
26:50the truth
26:51greater than self.
26:52The only
26:53difference
26:54between gods
26:55and demons
26:56is that
26:57gods
26:58listen to
26:59the truth.
27:01They listen
27:02to Mahadev
27:03more than
27:04themselves
27:05so that is
27:06why they are
27:07gods.
27:08Otherwise,
27:09they are two
27:10sons of the
27:11same mother.
27:12You know
27:13there is
27:14only one
27:15God
27:16and one
27:17demon.
27:18Is this
27:19becoming
27:20clear?
27:21Not all
27:22parts of the
27:23story are
27:24such that
27:25their
27:26essence
27:27can be
27:28given to
27:29you.
27:30Now you
27:31ask why
27:32there are
27:33only four
27:34drops?
27:35Why not
27:36six?
27:37So it does
27:38not mean
27:39anything.
27:40Four means
27:41four.
27:42As far as
27:43the essence of
27:44the matter
27:45was concerned
27:46that has
27:47been told.
27:48The rest
27:49remains as
27:50it is.
27:51It is said
27:52that in
27:53everything
27:54there is
27:55something
27:56that is
27:57time relative
27:58and there
27:59is also
28:00something
28:01that is
28:02timeless.
28:03Now you
28:04can ask
28:05there are
28:06so many
28:07mountains
28:08why did
28:09they take
28:10help from
28:11God?
28:12All these
28:13are just
28:14contextual
28:15things which
28:16have no
28:17timeless
28:18essence
28:19or past.
28:20The thing
28:21which has
28:22timeless
28:23significance is
28:24only
28:25Amrit.
28:26And that
28:27Amrit comes
28:28after poison
28:29Amrit comes
28:30after
28:31temptation.
28:32The one
28:33who gets
28:34scared
28:35it's good
28:36for them.
28:37Whoever
28:38gets
28:39scared
28:40dies.
28:41See
28:42it's written
28:43in the
28:44Puranas.
28:45And
28:46Gabbar
28:47was just
28:48repeating it
28:49without
28:50knowing.
28:51Acharyaji
28:52you have
28:53just explained
28:54the Vedic
28:55point of
28:56view.
28:57I hear
28:58a lot
28:59that since
29:00childhood I
29:01have been
29:02hearing in
29:03the family
29:04that if you
29:05go to
29:06Gangaji
29:07your sins
29:08will be
29:09washed
29:10away.
29:11But
29:12now this
29:13whole concept
29:14has ended
29:15right?
29:16Gangaji
29:17is within
29:18us.
29:19Yes.
29:20The same
29:21one that the
29:22saints have
29:23sung again
29:24and again
29:25right?
29:26How many
29:27songs are
29:28there on
29:29rivers?
29:30Tell me.
29:31Only when
29:32you cross
29:33the river
29:34that is
29:35within you
29:36can you
29:37meet your
29:38Guru.
29:39The
29:40meaning
29:41of emotions
29:42flowing inside
29:43has to be
29:44cut off.
29:45So
29:46whether it's
29:47the Samudra
29:48Manthan
29:49or it is
29:50Ganga
29:51Snaan
29:52the meaning
29:53of both is
29:54purely
29:55internal.
29:56If you
29:57go
29:58somewhere
29:59Gujarat
30:00Goa
30:01Kerala
30:02and then
30:03take a
30:04huge churner
30:05and start
30:06churning
30:07just like
30:08when
30:09Amrit cannot be
30:11obtained by
30:12churning the
30:13ocean.
30:14Similarly
30:15sins cannot be
30:16washed away
30:17by taking a
30:18dip in a
30:19river.
30:20Are you
30:21getting what
30:22I'm saying?
30:23Here.
30:24The stream
30:25of emotions
30:26is here.
30:27Here.
30:33Greetings
30:34Acharya Ji.
30:35Just like
30:36the demon
30:37drank the
30:38nectar
30:39similarly
30:40there is
30:41something
30:42inside us
30:43a
30:44ego
30:45which has
30:46drunk the
30:47nectar.
30:48I guess
30:49this is
30:50what it
30:51means
30:52because
30:53the whole
30:54story is
30:55related to
30:56us.
30:57Relate if
30:58you want
30:59to.
31:00Whatever.
31:01Some
31:02other day
31:03in some
31:04other mood
31:06but you told
31:07us that
31:08whole thing
31:09about all the
31:10gods and
31:11demons chasing
31:12him together
31:13and four
31:14drops falling
31:15at four
31:16places
31:17then
31:18Rahu
31:19Ketu
31:20Eclipse
31:21some meaning
31:22can be
31:23derived from
31:24it by
31:25visualizing
31:26things.
31:27But you
31:28should just
31:29focus only
31:30on the
31:31moral of
31:32the story.
31:33There are
31:34yes but the
31:35mind is creative
31:36and the Vedic
31:37perspective can be
31:38added.
31:39What is that?
31:40That's not a
31:41mic in your
31:42hand.
31:43It's a
31:44weapon.
31:45And these
31:46three people
31:47sitting here
31:48and there
31:49are your
31:50companions.
31:51You can
31:52stretch it as
31:53much as you
31:54want.
31:55Right?
31:56There will be
31:57no harm in it.
31:58Rather it will
31:59be good.
32:00If Vedic
32:01perspective is
32:02seen everywhere
32:03it will be a
32:04good thing.
32:05There's been
32:06nothing wrong
32:07in it.
32:08So we can
32:09draw a conclusion
32:10that as you
32:11told us nature
32:12I want you to
32:13draw meaning to
32:14everything.
32:15Yes.
32:16Even in
32:17glasses,
32:18even in
32:19spoon.
32:20So you can
32:21say that
32:22everything is
32:23symbolic.
32:24Everything
32:25should become
32:26symbolic.
32:27It is a
32:28very good
32:29thing.
32:30Everything
32:31should point
32:32in the
32:33right
32:34direction.
32:35So
32:36the river
32:37on the
32:38banks of
32:39which it
32:40is being
32:41organized is
32:42Ganga
32:43river.
32:44So there
32:45was a
32:46report of
32:47NGTV that
32:4885% of
32:49the creatures
32:50that wash
32:51their bodies
32:52in the
32:53river have
32:54died between
32:551970 and
32:562015.
32:57So can't
32:58this country
32:59which has
33:00been a
33:01part of
33:02the river
33:03in the
33:04right way?
33:05Who will
33:06do it?
33:07You do it
33:08then.
33:09Everything
33:10can happen.
33:11You do
33:12it.
33:13I can do
33:14it too but
33:15all my time
33:16is spent in
33:17ensuring that
33:18the way
33:19things are
33:20going right
33:21now somehow
33:22continues to
33:23happen.
33:24Sir, I
33:25have received
33:26an invitation
33:27from a
33:28TV channel
33:29to do a
33:30report on
33:31NGTV.
33:32I thought
33:33I should
33:34go and
33:35sit there
33:36with people
33:37during
33:38Kumbh but
33:39I cannot
33:40go.
33:41The thing
33:42is there is
33:43a report
33:44of NGTV
33:45that came
33:46out saying
33:47the water
33:48of Ganga
33:49in it is
33:50not fit for
33:51bathing.
33:52Why are
33:53you telling
33:54me this?
33:55Everyone
33:56knows this.
33:57What will
33:58happen by
33:59saying this?
34:00Why are
34:01you not
34:02able to
34:03stop them?
34:04Yes, I
34:05can stop
34:06them.
34:07How can
34:08I stop
34:09them?
34:10How can
34:11I stop
34:12them?
34:13Tell me
34:14how can
34:15I stop
