Namaste Sir Alex John Stanely Ji.., i must politley inform you that the photo you are lokking at is the-- Khumba Mela taken in 1944 on the banks of the Jamuna/Yamuna river. The oldest Mela, the Khumba Mela, is held once every 12 years at the junction of the three sacred rivers (Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati) and attended by more than 40 million people. Now the dates of the Khumba Mela are set to the specific location using astrological calculations based upon the placement of planet Jupiter, also there are ardha-Khumbas held every 6 years on the Jamuna River. ..."The Kumbha Mela takes place every four years in rotation at Haridwar, Prayag (Allahabad), Nasik and Ujjain, according to the placement of Jupiter in the Zodiac. A modern innovation, there are also popular half-melas, ardha-kumbhas, every six years at Haridwar and Prayag. It is at Prayag, where the Yamuna River joins the Ganga, that the largest number of human beings in history gathered--15 million on February 6, 1989. Haridwar, logistically less convenient, managed ten million on April 14, 1998. Still, that's five times this year's two million Muslim pilgrims who journeyed to Mecca for the Haj, the second largest gathering..." http://www.hinduismtoday.com/archives/1998/9/1998-9-11.shtml Now AJ Ji..,what were lead to believe that photo is?? > According to Steve Perino, > no pundit worth his salt would make the > claim that would > insinutate a group of pundits chanting > Vedic verses could change the course of human > events.... i won't address poor Sir Lawson Ji until his doctors have screened him for paranoia & delusional behavior. But having said that- if indeed that was a "world peace" gathering in Prayag in 1944(which i am not sayning it was).. It sadly did not have the desired effect as how many estimated millions died during Summer 1944 and Summer 1945 in WWII?? How many a-bombs did we drop on Japan in the Summer of 1945?
