Things to do around the Mela

Visiting other camps can be very interesting. Just as you turn a corner, you meet another baba and get invited to meet his Guru. Then, on the way back you might meet three more...
 

Our Camp plan...

It will be great to have a center from which we can explore the mela. We can exchange ideas and make friends. Participate in a one week workshop on spirituality or just wander about the mela. You will be in the midst of a large and ancient spiritual community, an ocean of humanity. As you learn their traditions, you become aware of the ageless wisdom all around you...
 

Babas of the Mela

The babas are what the mela is really about. These are the true spirits of the festival. There are many different types of babas, like the Naga Babas. Check out our baba gallery...
 

Bandara, an offering of food to the monks

The babas come to the festival with very little of anything. They are simple people without expectation. When you see the joy on their faces, the power of their lives can inspire us to reach the heights.

The main day of the Maha Kumbh Mela...

A main day early morning procession. Out of the cold dark mist the monks wait to catch a glimpse of what may be the most important sunrise of their lives.
