With its blend of ancient wisdom and contemporary relevance, the Kumbh Mela USA 2025 offers an unparalleled platform for each person to rediscover the timeless essence of Hinduism – for the benefit of humanity awakening their inner divinity.
The Kumbh Mela, the oldest and largest gathering of humanity, is an extraordinary Hindu pilgrimage that happens every three years in India.
Innumerable Kumbh Melas have taken place throughout history since 11,000 BCE, making it a cornerstone of Hinduism’s spiritual tradition.
Located at the confluence of sacred rivers, it is an occasion where spiritual seekers merge into the ocean of cosmic oneness (Advaita) signifying enlightenment.
Organized by the 13 Akhadas (monastic orders) consisting of one million monks, Kumbh Mela embodies the profound eternal values of Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism’s ancient spiritual heritage) – oneness of everyone, peace, religious tolerance, and harmony.
Sri Nityananda Paramashivam, is a Mahamandaleshwar of the Mahanirvani Akhada, and has been part of organizing many Kumbh Melas. He became the first to conduct the Kumbh Mela outside India in the USA in 2007.
This initiative has since seen the festival celebrated multiple times in locations as diverse as Los Angeles, Ohio, and Australia.
These events have expanded the festival’s reach, bringing its transformative energy to the global stage and allowing millions worldwide to experience its profound spiritual significance.
