В Индии стартовало крупнейшее в мире религиозное мероприятие

CULTURE

Миллионы индуистских приверженцев и мистиков со всей Индии собрались в понедельник в северном городе Праяградж, чтобы дать старт фестивалю Маха Кумбха, который известен как крупнейшее религиозное мероприятие в мире, пишет The Associated Press.

Примерно в течение следующих шести недель индуистские паломники соберутся у слияния трех священных рек — Ганга, Ямуны и мифической Сарасвати, — где они примут участие в сложных ритуалах, надеясь начать путешествие к достижению конечной цели индуистской философии: освобождению от цикла перерождений.

Индуисты почитают реки, особенно Ганг и Ямуну. Верующие верят, что омовение в их водах очистит их от прошлых грехов и положит конец процессу перевоплощения, особенно в благоприятные дни. Самые благоприятные из этих дней выпадают раз в 12 лет во время фестиваля, называемого Маха Кумбха Мела, или фестиваль кувшинов.

Фестиваль представляет собой серию ритуальных омовений индуистскими садху, или святыми людьми, и другими паломниками на слиянии трех священных рек, которые проводятся по меньшей мере со времен средневековья.

Индуисты верят, что мифическая река Сарасвати когда-то текла из Гималаев через Праяградж, впадая там в Ганг и Ямуну. Омовение совершается каждый день, но в наиболее благоприятные дни обнаженные, перемазанные пеплом монахи на рассвете отправляются к священным рекам.

Многие паломники остаются на весь фестиваль, соблюдая аскезу, раздавая милостыню и совершая омовение на рассвете каждый день.
