will attend the #MahaKumbh2025 and live like a monk for 17 days 🕉️📖 It’s inspiring to see foreigners embracing Hindu traditions, but disheartening that some ‘Hindus by birth’ criticize their own faith. 🤔

1. Laurene Powell Jobs is the founder and president of the Emerson Collective. She is one of the owners of the globally renowned establishment ‘Apple’.
2. Laurene Powell Jobs is also set to observe the Kalpavas, an ancient practice in Hindu tradition, observed from Paush Poornima to Maghi Poornima. During this period, devotees known as ‘Kalpavasis’ perform daily rituals, including taking a dip in the Ganges River. People living in Kalpavas adopt a simple and austere lifestyle similar to monks and focus on spiritual growth.
Editorial PerspectiveIt is outrageous to see foreigners show interest in Hindu traditions and festivals, while those born in India criticise Hinduism. |
