Video - The Mystical Naga Sadhus of Kumbh Mela

Did you know that a unique festival is observed every 12 years in India? The Kumbh Mela of 2019 was the largest peaceful gathering the world had ever witnessed, with around 50 million people attending. During this event, one of the most bizarre and mysterious types of saints in the world, the Naga Sadhus, can be seen. These saints, who are heavily armed with tridents and other weapons, live in the caves of the Himalayas and come out to the world only during the Kumbh Mela. Naga Sadhus worship Lord Shiva as their primary deity and are believed to possess many supernatural powers beyond the capability of ordinary human beings. They have successfully activated their Kundalini energy, developing their minds and bodies to a near-superhuman level. However, they do not wish to live within society for long. As soon as their religious duty at the Kumbh Mela is over, they return to their abodes in the remote Himalayas to spend their lives in devotion to their beloved Shiva. This festival and the appearance of the Naga Sadhus offer a rare glimpse into a deeply spiritual and mystical aspect of Indian culture.
