00:00This time, Maha Kumbh is happening. I request you, sir, please explain its Vedic meaning in a better way.

00:06Kumbh is mentioned in two or three texts in the Puranas.

00:10That means the gods and demons, whatever they could possibly achieve in the world,

00:14wealth, power, position, prestige, women, men, they had achieved everything,

00:20but they still did not get any satisfaction.

00:22So God tells both of them that now both of you should start self-reflection together.

00:26So the churning of the ocean is actually self-reflection.

00:29And self-reflection is more difficult than any external search.

00:33Just like what is 30% of the land on earth and what is the other 70%

00:38and the height of Everest is 9 km, but the depth of the deepest point in the ocean is 11 km.

00:44The meaning is that both gods and demons rule over the world,

00:47but you do not know yourself.

00:48You do not know these things which are inside.

00:51Nectar will be found here.

00:52So start churning.
