Fire Incident at Kumbh Mela: A Year of Fire

Fire Incident at Kumbh Mela: A Year of Fire – Stay Alert

By Aryan Rana, Founder, VRightpath

The current year 2025 adds up to the number 9, governed by Mars, which astrologically represents fire, earthquakes, and conflicts. This year may witness significant events related to these elements.

Recently, a fire broke out in Sector 19 of the Kumbh Mela, near the Geeta Press stall. The incident was claimed via email by the KGF terrorist group. Fortunately, timely safety measures ensured that no casualties occurred. However, the event has sparked debates on social media, with some questioning why God, Sanatan Dharma, or saints didn’t intervene to prevent the fire, while science (fire brigade department and safety equipment) ultimately saved lives. Read in Hindi

This perspective reflects a misunderstanding of God’s blessings and His role in the world. God doesn’t directly intervene in every situation but blesses us with intelligence, wisdom, and knowledge to handle challenges effectively. Expecting miraculous intervention from God misinterprets the true nature of divine blessings.

The True Nature of Divine Intervention

Laws of Nature and Consequences

Every action has consequences. Just as fire burns anything that is not fire-resistant, our actions lead to inevitable outcomes. For example, carelessness can result in accidents. Similarly, harming others beyond their tolerance invites suffering. Understanding these natural laws is part of the wisdom bestowed by God.

Wisdom and Responsibility

God’s intervention often manifests as wisdom and understanding. He provides us with the knowledge to recognize the outcomes of our actions and take responsible measures to avoid harm. For instance, He inspires us to create safety systems and act prudently.

Subtle Divine Guidance

When someone plans to harm others, God may intervene subtly, ensuring their intentions fail. This unconscious guidance is a profound form of divine grace.

Humanity’s Role

Instead of questioning why God didn’t extinguish the fire directly, we should recognize the intelligence, innovation, and responsiveness He has instilled in us. The fact that no lives were lost during the fire at Kumbh Mela is a testament to this divine gift.

We must act with compassion, empathy, and equality, understanding that every being is a soul, not just a body. By aligning our actions with these principles, we fulfill our responsibilities and contribute to a harmonious world.

The fire at Kumbh reminds us that God’s blessings don’t mean miraculous interventions but the wisdom and capability to face life’s challenges responsibly and compassionately.

A Year of Fire – Astrological Insights for 2025

It’s worth noting that even the most technologically advanced nations like the United States face challenges in controlling catastrophic fires. For instance, a wildfire in Los Angeles has raged for over three weeks, turning parts of California into desolate ruins. Another blaze has erupted north of Los Angeles, forcing thousands to evacuate their homes.

We pray to the Almighty that these devastating events come to an end soon. Let us remain vigilant and prepared, using the wisdom and resources granted to us.

Twenty years of Sachin, 20 best knocks

* 1. 114 vs Australia in Perth Test (1991-92): Acknowledged by the master himself as one of his very best Test efforts when, as an 18-year-old, he tackled Australia’s best on a fiery strip with confidence and composure. * 2. 169 vs South Africa in Cape Town Test (1996-97): Routed for 100 and 66 in the previous Test in Durban, India needed a special from Tendulkar to save batting face, and the skipper responded with a telling assault on Donald, Klusener, McMillan and company. * 3. 136 vs Pakistan in Chennai Test (1998-99): A true epic scored as he battled a cripping back injury and an inspired Saqlain Mushtaq. Almost took India to victory, but when he fell with glory beckoning, the bottom fell out. And Tendulkar cried, inconsolably. * 4. 143 & 134 vs Australia in Sharjah (1997-98): Two knocks separated by a day, but completely interlinked. The first turbo-charged India to the final, the second destroyed Australia in the final. * 5. 175 vs Australia in Hyderabad (2009): India were ch...

103 not out vs England at Chennai 2008

Scoring a hundred in a successful fourth innings run chase was according to Tendulkar himself something he had wanted, the one achievement missing from his CV. Little wonder then that he rated this innings as ``up there’’ and ``one of the best’’ among all his hundreds. And it was no ordinary run chase as India were set a target of 387 – the highest successful attempt in a Test in Asia and the fifth highest in all Tests. The first of the two- match series started with England scoring 316 to which India replied with 241. With Andrew Strauss getting his second hundred of the match Kevin Pietersen was able to declare at 311 for nine late on the penultimate day leaving India a tough task. Virender Sehwag led the way with 83 off 68 balls with 11 fours and four sixes but the fall of Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman at regular intervals on the final morning put some pressure on the Indians. When Yuvraj Singh joined Tendulkar India were 163 runs away from their target and England se...

Respect Sanatan Culture: 10 Things Every Sanatani Must Know

By VRight Path ॐ गं गणपतये नमः In today’s fast-paced and globalized world, it's easy to unknowingly adopt words, habits, and concepts that may contradict the values of our timeless Sanatan Dharma. It’s important for every follower of this ancient tradition to understand and preserve the depth and dignity of our culture. Here are some essential points that every Sanatani should know and remember: 1. Say “Bhagwan Ram” or “Bhagwan Krishna” – Not “Lord” Ask yourself: Were Bhagwan Ram or Bhagwan Krishna ever members of England’s “House of Lords”? Then why use the title “Lord”? The English term does not carry the same spiritual reverence as the word “Bhagwan,” which signifies divinity and supreme consciousness in Sanatan Dharma. Let’s use our own respectful expressions: Bhagwan Shri Ram , Bhagwan Shri Krishna . 2. Avoid Saying “RIP” The phrase Rest In Peace (RIP) originates from burial customs and assumes the soul rests at one place. ...

155 not out vs Australia at Chennai 1998

It was the first Test of the three-match series and it was being billed as a contest between Tendulkar and Shane Warne – the best batsman in the world against the best spin bowler in the game. The Aussie leg spinner won the first round by having Tendulkar caught at slip for four in the first innings. In the second innings Tendulkar turned the tables – and how! He entered at a crucial stage for India 71 runs behind were 115 for two early on the fourth morning. Rahul Dravid and Md Azharuddin helped him to figure in century partnerships for the third and fourth wickets but it was Tendulkar’s masterly mauling of Warne that was the cynosure. He treated the Aussie spin wizard like a club bowler at the nets by repeatedly hitting him for fours and sixes. When Azharuddin declared at 418 for four Tendulkar was unbeaten with a glorious 155 for which he batted only 191 balls and hit 14 fours and four sixes while Warne had the ragged figures of one for 122 from 30 overs. The hunter had become the ...

India tests first Test defeat after 15 matches..

While India crashed to a humiliating innings and six runs defeat against South Africa in the first Test in Nagpur on Tuesday, Sachin Tendulkar's managed to score a (100) defiant ton. Tendulkar's 46th century, his fourth against the South Africans and first at home against the Proteas, was the lone significant knock in the entire Indian innings. Tendulkar was lucky to see his glide off Parnell grassed by Jacques Kallis in the slip cordon, when he was on 45. Tendulkar subsequently was watchful but at the same time walloped the bad deliveries. He and Dhoni rekindled India's hopes with a steady 70-run partnership and the sparse crowd at the VCA Stadium roared in appreciation after Tendulkar reached his 46th Test century. Following on, India resumed on 66 for two this morning, but folded for 319 in their second essay to allow South Africa to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. It was South Africa's fifth Test win in India in 11 attempts. More importantly, it was India...

Egass: The Divine Awakening and Folk Soul of Devbhumi

143 vs Australia at Sharjah, Coca Cola Cup, 1998

The first of two successive master classes at Sharjah which have since been nicknamed ``Desert Storm.’’ Coming into the match India’s position was shaky. They had not fared very well in the tri series (the third team was New Zealand). In this last league match after the Australians had led off with 284 for seven in 50 overs India’s target was revised following a dust storm. The winning target was 276 but India by getting 237 would qualify for the final edging out New Zealand on superior run rate. As wickets fell at regular intervals Tendulkar guided India masterfully to their first target batting in commanding fashion against a bowling line-up that included Damien Fleming, Michael Kasprowicz and Shane Warne. After four wickets had fallen for 138, Tendulkar dominated a fifth wicket partnership of 104 runs with VVS Laxman. By the time he was fifth out at 242 in the 43rd over he had made sure that India would qualify for the final with a blistering 143 from 131 balls with nine fours and ...
