Triveni


Shri Nathji had come to Triveni in Alllahabad in 1942, were he met Mahatma Sita Ram Sharan. In the month of February 1960, Shri Nathji decided to go for a bath at the Triveni at the time of Kumbh. Shri Nathji, Mateshwari, Pran Nath and Priya Nath went to the site of the Kumbh Mela to take dip in the waters at Triveni. 
 In Hindu tradition Triveni Sangam is the "confluence" of three rivers. One such Triveni Sangam, in Allahabad has two physical rivers Ganges, Yamuna, and the invisible or mythic Saraswati River.
The site is in Prayag, India. A place of religious importance and the site for historic Kumbh Mela held every 12 years. Here the muddy and pale-yellow waters of the Ganges merge with the blue waters of Yamuna. While the Ganges is only 4 feet deep, the Yamuna is 40 feet deep near the point of their nexus. The river Yamuna merges into the Ganges at this point and the Ganges continues on until it meets the sea at the Bay of Bengal. At the confluence of these two great Indian rivers, where the invisible Saraswati conjoins them, many tirtha yatris take boats to bathe from platforms erected in the Sangam. This together with the migratory birds give a picturesque look to the river during the Kumbha Mela, in the month of January. It is believed that all the gods come in human form to take a dip at the sangam and expiate their sins. Devout Hindus from all over India come to this sacred pilgrimage point to offer prayers and take a dip in the holy waters.
 According to Hindu tradition, the Prakrista Yajna was performed here by Lord Brahma. That is why Allahbad was known as Prayag in ancient times. Allahabad (Prayag) is also called Tirtha-Raja (Prayag Raj), king of all holy places. It is said that Lord Rama visited Allahabad when he was in exile.
