Introduction
Yoga and Spirituality is the core of Indian culture. Yoga is the greatest spiritual heritage of India. Yoga, as a
way of holistic living, is India's greatest contribution to the world. Yoga and spirituality reflect through our
way of living, our plain living and high thinking, and our faith in the universal brotherhood. The great science
and philosophy of yoga motivates us to lead a pious, peaceful, prosperous and perfect life. It has a greater
positive impact on our behavior and influences almost every aspects of our life. It paves the way for the
attainment of the Purusharthachatustya i.e. Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. Every festival of India
spreads the fragrance of yoga and spirituality in some form or the other. Every festival has its own science
and philosophy. As for the Kumbh Mela, the mythology associated with this grand festival says that the
Deities and Demons together had churned the ocean. The mountain Sumeru was used as a churning rod in
the process. The nectar came out of this churning. Deities and Demons were at war over 'Amrit', the nectar of
immortality and it is said that a few drops of the nectar fell in four places – Nasik, Prayagraj, Ujjain, and
Haridwar. It is therefore believed by Hindus worldwide that a dip in any of these 4 places, especially during an
auspicious time can free them from the cycles of life and death. 'Kumbh' means 'pitcher', and Mela means
gathering. Hence it is the gathering of spiritual aspirants, spiritual seekers, saints, seers, yogis and the
common masses, who gather on the bank of the holy rivers to take a dip into the river and where the
enlightened yogis share their yogic and spiritual experiences to the true spiritual aspirants for their
wellbeing. They reveal the scientific, philosophical and behavioral aspects of yogic and spiritual practices so
as to make them get rid of misconceptions about yogic and spiritual practices. The Kumbh Mela spins off on
the day of Makar Sankranti. This signifies the Uttarayana or the upward movement of the Sun in the northern
hemisphere, which was scientifically calculated by the sages over a thousand of years ago. Scientific and
mathematical calculations confirm that the Kumbh is celebrated to match the entry of Jupiter in Aries or Leo
and the entry of the Sun and the Moon in the Capricorn orbit. This planetary alignment is shown to enhance
the electro-magnetic field of the earth which in turn affects biological systems. The enlightened yogis
spiritually charge the whole atmosphere, enabling and inspiring the masses to lead a pious and peaceful
life. The spiritual aspirants use this environment to have yogic and spiritual practices. No doubt, today the
practices of Yama, Niyama, Asanas, Pranayama, Meditation, Yoga Nidra, Mantra Chanting etc. have shown
clinical evidences for physical, mental and spiritual well-being of the individual. The results have shown
improved brain function, concentration, stress reduction, cultivation of enduring personality traits like
equanimity and selflessness. And thus “Kumbha” symbolizes the very confluences of the mental, spiritual
and emotional wellbeing in a traditional format. Therefore the present Conference is on the “Scientific &
Behavioral aspects of Yoga and Spirituality in special context of Maha Kumbha Celebration” aims to create
the confluence of different aspects and streams of yoga, for yoga aspirants, spiritual seekers, academicians
and the common masses alike.
