00:00Questioner, in Kumbh Mela, what is the importance of Mouniya Amavasya and Magha Poornima?
00:06Why is it so special for them?
00:08The Maha Kumbh Mela that is happening now, as you said,
00:13Magha Poornima and Mouniya Amavasya both come in the month of Magha.
00:18Maghamu is in the name.
00:21Aghamu means sin.
00:23Maghamu means the month when sins are eliminated.
00:27The speciality of this month is that,
00:30even on the 9th day of the month of Magha,
00:33Ammavari and Navaratri will come.
00:36Ammavari will be worshipped in the Gupta Navaratri.
00:40Similarly, in Magha month,
00:42from 7th to 9th,
00:44we will be doing Suryaradhana.
00:47Similarly, we will be doing Noma and Vratas in Magha month.
00:53In this 84 crore Jehurasam, we will be eliminating sins.
00:59To eliminate human birth,
01:01and to avoid human birth again,
01:05and to get rid of the cycle of birth and death,
01:10Bhagavan has given us this body.
01:15There are a few months.
01:17Magha month, Vaisakha month, Karthika month, Ashada month.
01:21If you look at these 4 months,
01:23the sun will be moving in Chara Rashi.
01:26Mesham, Karkatakam, Tula, Makaram.
01:29When these cycles happen,
01:31why is the name Mouni Ammavasya?
01:35It is the silent Ammavasya.
01:38We can see a few names.
01:40Deepavali Ammavasya, Polal Ammavasya, Mouni Ammavasya,
01:43Somavathi Ammavasya.
01:45These are the special days.
01:47We have to eliminate our sins.
01:50This is possible only in Magha month.
01:54That is why it is called Samutrasnanam.
01:57Magha Purnamani Mahamaghi.
01:59You see, we talk about the heights of the ocean.
02:04We talk about the heights of the ocean.
02:07The ocean.
02:08Nadinam Sagarogadhi.
02:10When rivers meet in the ocean,
02:12the ocean does not rise.
02:14The sun draws water from the ocean.
02:16Even if the ocean is filled with water,
02:18the water does not reduce.
02:20That is why the ocean is stable.
02:22By bathing in the ocean,
02:24all our sins will be eliminated.
02:28This is said in our scriptures.
02:30Because the ocean is stable.
02:32No matter what situation we are in.
02:34So, Magha Purnamani or Magha Ammavasya,
02:37Mouni Ammavasya,
02:39are the special days to eliminate our sins.
02:43Swamiji, Mahakumbh, Poornakumbh, Adhakumbh,
02:46why are they called by different names?
02:49Are they always done in Prayag?
02:51The ordinary Kumbh Mela is held every 4 years.
02:56The Adhakumbh Mela is held every 6 years
02:59in Haridwar and Thirudharaj Prayag.
03:03The Poornakumbh Mela is held every 12 years
03:07in Haridwar, Prayag, Ujjain and Nasik.
03:12The Thirudharaj Prayag Mela is held every 12 years
03:16in Ujjain, Nasik, Godavari, Thrembakeshwaram,
03:20Ganga in Haridwar,
03:22Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, Triveni in Thirudharaj Prayag.
03:31The Mahakumbh Mela is held after 12 Kumbh Melas.
03:36That is, after 144 years.
03:40This time, the Mahakumbh Mela is held in Thirudharaj Prayag.
03:44That is, the Mahakumbh Mela is held once every 144 years.
03:49What is in our history is that
03:51even in the time of Adishikar Bhagatpadu,
03:54the Kumbh Mela was held.
03:56In the Kumbh Mela and Mahakumbh Mela,
03:58we know that the Sastra Jarchal and Veda Jarchal
04:00were also held.
04:02So, the Mahakumbh Mela is held once every 144 years
04:07and it is a very special day.
04:11It is also a time of celebration.
04:15Mr. Panibhaskar, what is special about the Kumbh Mela?
04:20The bath is very important.
04:26There are two types of baths.
04:29One is Malamarshanam and the other is Adhamarshanam.
04:33Malamarshanam is the bath that we do every day.
04:37Adhamarshanam is the bath that we do to cleanse our sins.
04:50But, this is not possible every day.
04:53There are some important days.
04:55For example, the day when the sun is in Mesha Rasa.
