Triveni

 पवित्रीकर्त न: पशपतिपराधीनहदये

दयामित्र्नैरै:

अरुणधवलश्यामरुचिभिः .

नदः ज्ोणो गङ्गा तपनतनयेति ध्रुवममुं

त्रयाणां तीथांनाम उपनयसि सम्भेदमनघम ||५४


The spiritual significance of taking a holy dip in the sangam during Kumbh can be conveyed beautifully by following verse of Soundarya lahiri, the magestic creation of Adi Shankaracharya. This is also how various shlokas , worship of different forms can be understood as different ways of conveying the same theme, that is oneness of all creation, both at the level of cause as well as primary substance. 

Thus, the purpose of all forms of worship being to realise this directly and thus achieve the blissful state of awareness and living in that state perpetually.




O mother , beloved of Pashupati,

the Lord of all beasts, 

 destroyer of bondage 

Of worldly desires 

Purify me of all sins

Make me realise him 



with eyes full of compassion 

For us , your children 

The three colours in your eyes 

Are like confluence of three Gunas

Crimson rajas, dark tamas 

And pearly satva 


Like three rivers 

Purifying ganga, dark yamuna 

Fiery Saraswati merging 

Merging at the holy prayag

Like the river of Prana

Ascending through 

Sukshumna, Ida and pingala

Rising higher and higher 

Into the lotus 

Of sahasrara 

merging into one

Divine consciousness 

Into the blissful awareness 

And let the nector 

Of your divine blessing 

Perpetually flow down 

And submerge my being
