A total of 13 Akharas of sages, saints and Naga Sadhus come and set up their camps during Kumbh. During Mahakumbh, sages and devotees from across the country and the world arrive at the holy Triveni Sangam to take a dip of faith. Shahi or Amrit Snan is considered to be the main center of attraction in Mahakumbh.
Bathing in Amrit has special significance especially for the sages and saints in Maha Kumbh. According to the belief, first of all the sages and saints of 13 Akharas, Acharya, Mahandleshwar, Naga Sadhu, Aghori and female Naga Sadhu take bath. After this the devotees take a dip. Let us tell you that the royal bath that takes place during Mahakumbh is called Amrit Snan. After Makar Sankranti, now nectar bath will be taken on the day of Mauni Amavasya (Mauni Amavasya 2025).
Importance of Amrit Snan
Amrit bath has special significance in Sanatan Dharma. That’s why devotees eagerly wait for it along with saints and sages. This bath is an opportunity to attain virtue and purity. It is a religious belief that bathing in nectar leads to salvation and also removes impurities from the mind.
Importance of bathing in nectar for saints and sages
Mahant Adityanand Shastri of Agni Akhara said that taking bath in nectar gives the same virtuous results as performing a thousand Ashwamedha Yagyas. After bathing in nectar, sages and saints meditate on the gods and discuss knowledge.
Why do Naga Sadhus take bath in Amrit first?
The Naga bath in Kumbh is considered a center of religion and spiritual energy. It is also believed that, when Adi Shankaracharya prepared a group of Naga Sadhus to protect the Dharma, other saints came forward and invited the Naga Sadhus who were protecting the Dharma to take bath first. Naga Sadhus are considered to be worshipers and followers of Bhole Baba. Therefore, they are given the first opportunity to take bath and this tradition is followed even today.
