Simhasth Kumbh is one of the four 'Kumbh Melas' celebrated by biggest spiritual gathering on the Planet. Simhasth Kumbh Mela is based on the celestial line-up of Planets and the Signs of the Zodiac, which occurs every 12 years.

'Kumbh' in its literal English translation means 'Pot', which emerged from 'Samudra Manthan'(Churning of the Ocean) between Gods and Devils and the term ‘Mela‘ signifies'Fair'.

Kumbh Mela is held at four places in India i.e Haridwar, Prayag (Allahabad), Ujjain and Nasik. At Haridwar it is held at banks of holy river of Ganges, while it is organized at confluence of Ganges, Yamuna and spiritual (underground) river Sarswati in Allahabad.  In Nasik and Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh) Kumbh is held at sacred river Godawari and Kshipra respectively.

At Ujjain, Kumbh Mela is specifically called 'Simhasth Kumbh Mahaparv' because the Sun (in Sanskrit Surya) is in the zodiac Aries ('Mesh' in Sanskrit) and the Jupiter (Brahaspati in Sanskrit) is in the zodiac Leo (in Sanskrit 'Simha') when it takes place. There are ten unique and uncommon yogs which exist and facilitate the organizing of Simhasth Kumbh Mahaparv.

The gathering assembles in every 3 years during Kumbh Mela at one of the places by rotation, for reassessing the amelioration of ideas churned out for welfare of humanity before meeting at Kumbh gathering on12th year.

                                        Killer Heat Wave

                                 In a country where people are bound to die due to cold waves  and hot winds not even its extreme then it will be called as misfortune of the citizens, whose government can't even save them from the cold and heat condition which are very common in northern and central parts of India leaving hundreds dead every  year.

When administration is helpless in saving people from heat and cold then it is purely dream of saving them from epidemic Swine Flu (H1N1), which claimed more then a thousand lives this winter all over the Country.

In southern east state of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana more than

1400 people have died in past on week, but government could only afford to provide drinking water to people outside that's its. Isn't it sufficient on Government's end and why it did not pre-prepare for such kinds of situations.

It is not the only thing to which we have failed to cope up, If Nepal's devastating Earthquake would have been much more closure to Indian Capital then it would have been reached to stone age. Even after knowing then Swine Flu catch its strength in winter, government did not pre-pared and let it claim more than 1500 lives.

Each summer witness temperature as hot as 50 degree Celsius in most of the Northern and Central parts of  India, leaving thousands striving for drinking water, specially in states like Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, but Indian government, in the age of technology where Countries like Israel have learnt how to cultivate in desert,  could not even provide drinking water.
