Parmeshwar Ganapati himself, in the form of Ishwar Vishnu, creates the mind of all living beings through energy and cycle dimension in Vaikuntha, and at the right time, God descends the mind from Vaikuntha to Earth. The body, life, and soul of all living beings and humans on Earth are created on Earth, but the mind of a living being is created only in Vaikuntha.
There are innumerable celestial bodies in the universe, out of which 1 star, 1 satellite, 7 planets, 2 shadow planets, and 27 constellations, etc., influence the human beings on Earth. Out of all the 27 constellations, the Mrigasira constellation emits the most curiosity energy on Earth, and out of all the celestial bodies in the solar system, only Jupiter emits the most spiritual energy on Earth.
Parmeshwar Ganapati wants that curiosity and spirituality should develop in the mind of human beings from the very first birth; therefore, Parmeshwar Ganapati has bound the incarnation of Earth and Vaikuntha in this rule that whenever Jupiter transits in Mrigasira nakshatra, the incarnation of Earth and Vaikuntha will be established. As a result, whenever Jupiter transits in Mrigasira nakshatra, Parmeshwar Ganapati himself, in the form of God Vishnu, descends the living beings, human beings, and the mind of God from Vaikuntha to Earth.
The word Kumbha means to fill with spiritual subjects. When Jupiter transits in the Mrigasira constellation, the mind descends from Vaikuntha to the body of the living being on Earth, due to which various spiritual subjects are filled in the body of the living being. Therefore, the descent of the mind inside the body is called Kumbha.
When planet Jupiter transits in the Mrigasira constellation, the mind descends from Vaikuntha to the body of the living beings on Earth; that period is called Kumbha Kaal. All living beings, humans and Bhagwan, can descend from Vaikuntha to Earth only during Kumbha Kaal. It takes 12 years for planet Jupiter to transit from all 27 constellations to the Mrigasira constellation; hence, Kumbha Kaal comes after every 12 years. During Kumbha Kaal, the process of descent from Vaikuntha to Earth continues for 40 days; hence the duration of Kumbha Kaal is 40 days.
Planet Jupiter transits in the Mrigasira constellation every 12 years in a Kalpa, but Kumbha Kaal does not come every 12 years in a Kalpa. The period in which the human mind descends from Vaikuntha to Earth in a Kalpa is called Kumbha Kaal.
The descent of the human mind from Vaikuntha to earth begins from the first phase of the Satya Yuga of the first Chaturyuga of the Ancient Manvantar and ends at the end of the second phase of the last Kali Yuga of the sixth Chaturyuga of the modern Manvantar.
In the third and fourth phases of the last Kali Yuga of the Kalpa, life on earth is not suitable for humans and other creatures; only 6000 years are left for the beginning of the Uday Manvantar of the new Kalpa, so in the third and fourth phases of the last Kali Yuga, nature is destroyed by continuous storms, hurricanes, and intense heat so that nature can be re-created in the Uday Manvantar of the new Kalpa.
Due to the beginning of the process of destroying nature on earth, Parmeshwar Ganapati and Ishwar Vishnu stop the process of descent after the end of the second phase of the last Kali Yuga of the Kalpa.
To welcome and worship the Kumbh period, a spiritual fair is organized, which is called Kumbh Mela. In Kumbh Mela, spiritual teachers set up their pandals and impart knowledge of Sanatan Dharma to their devotees and disciples and explain the importance of the basic principle of their incarnation. It is the duty of the government of every country to organize Kumbh Mela in their country during the Kumbh period and impart spiritual knowledge to their citizens.
When Jupiter transits in the Mrigasira constellation, the Kumbha period begins. During the Kumbha period, living beings and humans descend from Vaikuntha to Earth continuously for 40 days. All living beings and humans descend on Earth only and only during the Kumbha period. A human can be reborn on Earth at any time, but the first birth of a human occurs only during the Kumbha period. Even God can descend on Earth only during the Kumbha period. No one can descend from Vaikuntha to Earth during any period other than the Kumbha period.
Currently, 2025 is the last Kumbh period of the last Kaliyug of this Kalpa. 12 years after 2025, Jupiter will again transit in Mrigashira constellation, but at that time, the new human will not incarnate on Earth from Vaikunth. In 2025, 6000 years of the last Kaliyug of the sixth Chaturyug of the modern Manvantara will be completed, and only 6000 years are left for this Kalpa to end.
It was the duty of my life to know the origin of the Kumbh Mela festival and to publish that knowledge across the world. I started revision of the origin of Kumbh Mela from the Kumbh period of 2001, and in 2016, I fulfilled the first duty of knowing the origin of the Kumbh Mela festival and am also fulfilling the second duty of publishing this knowledge to the world through scriptures and websites.
I bow to you; you are much more fortunate than me, so through this post you have easily gained in-depth knowledge of the origin of the Kumbh Mela festival. . Now that you are knowledgeable, it is your duty to spread this knowledge to your friends, family, and society.
I am Kedi Ganapati a Sage of Sanatan Dharma. I am writing scriptures of Sanatan Dharma and developing a offical website of Sanatan Dharma.
