Ardh Kumbh 2027: Why does Ardh Kumbh? Learn Vedas, Puranas and Astrological Secrets
Haridwar Ardh Kumbh 2027: Kumbh Mela is not just a religious event, but the biggest festival of Hindu civilization. From the story of the sea churning mentioned in the Puranas to the Aquarius reference and astrological calculation of the Vedas, its roots are thousands of years old. Every 12 years, Ardh Kumbh is organized on Purna Kumbh and half of it. In 2027, there will be Ardh Kumbh in Haridwar, which will be considered not only mythological recognition but also a very holy time from astronomical point of view.
The secret of sea churning and nectar Kumbh
The tradition of Kumbh Mela is directly related to the story of sea churning. Vishnu Purana, Bhagavata Purana and Mahabharata describe that when the gods and demons churned the sea to get the nectar, one Amrit Kumbh came out of it. War broke out for the Amrit Kalash and Lord Vishnu took the form of Mohini and gave the nectar to the gods. According to the legend, a few drops fell on the earth from that nectar urn. These places are the confluence of Prayagraj, Gangadwar of Haridwar, Shipra of Ujjain and Godavari of Nashik. This is the reason that Kumbh and Ardh Kumbh are organized in these four places.
Mention of Kumbh in Vedas and Puranas
In the Rigveda and Atharvaveda, the word Kumbh is described as the character of life, nectar and divine gems. Atharvaveda (19.53) says Kumbhosi Ratnadhar: That is, Kumbh is the holder of nectar and gems. The importance of bathing festival is told in the Prayag Mahatmya Khand of Skanda Purana. There is a clear mention in Matsya Purana and the Brahman Purana that when Guru (Jupiter) and Sun come in special zodiac signs, then these mahaparva are held.
Why do you think Ardh Kumbh?
Now the question arises that the full Aquarius takes place every 12 years, but why Ardh Kumbh? The answer is also hidden in the position of planets and astrological calculations. The Purna Kumbh is organized when Guru (Jupiter) and Sun come in special zodiac signs. For example, in Haridwar, Aquarius appears when Guru is in Aquarius and Sun is in Aries. Ardh Kumbh is the same yoga, but before the completion of the full cycle of 12 years, a favorable position of Guru and Sun is formed after 6 years. That is why in the 6th year, a bathing festival is organized at the pilgrimage centers, which is called Ardh Kumbh. That is, Ardh Kumbh is also the same holy yoga, it is just half the cycle of Kumbh. Hence it was named Ardh Kumbh.
Importance of Ardh Kumbh
According to the Puranas, taking a bath in Ardh Kumbh destroys the sins of birth after birth. The father gets satisfaction and the strength increases in the family. The soul gets purification and paves the way for salvation. It is said in the Skanda Purana that Kumbhe Snan Kritva Man: Sarvapapabhyya: Pramuchyate i.e. bathing in Kumbh makes a person free from all sins. This statement applies equally to Ardh Kumbh, because its foundation is the same nectar-yoga.
Tradition and faith
Ardh Kumbh is organized especially in*Prayagraj and Haridwar. It is believed that this tradition is probably also made because people do not have to wait for the full 12 years for the full Kumbh. The importance of Ardh Kumbh increased to keep faith alive and give devotees an opportunity to bathe every 6 years. Even today crores of devotees participate in Ardh Kumbh. The processions of saints and saints, the royal bath of the Naga Akharas, the Ganges and the Aarti of Sangam make all this atmosphere divine.
Haridwar Ardh Kumbh in 2027
Ardh Kumbh will be held in Haridwar in the year 2027. According to astrological calculations, a favorable position of Guru and Sun will be created in March 2027. For this reason, this event of Haridwar will be special. Devotees believe that bathing on Gangadwar leads to decay of sins and increase in virtues. The presence of saints and akharas will make this festival more grand.
The secret of Kumbh and Ardh Kumbh is not limited to faith, but behind it the science of Vedas, the story of the Puranas and the astrological position of the planets are all connected. Ardh Kumbh matters because it is a reflection of the full Kumbh, but gives the devotees an opportunity to salvation in half. The Haridwar Ardh Kumbh of 2027 will be the next chapter of this tradition where the water of the Ganges, the memory of the Puranas and the faith of crores of devotees will create history once again.
