Kumbh Melas are held every 12 years. The last Haridwar Kumbh Mela was held in 2010. The actual due date for the ‘current’ Kumbh at Haridwar was 2022, not 2021. So how did it get advanced by one whole lethal year at a time India’s second Covid wave was expected? And when epidemiological studies indicate that second waves of infection are always worse than the first. Let me tell you the reason.
It was ‘advanced’ by a year, to 2021, because the ‘astrological configurations’ of the “Sun entering Aries” and “Jupiter entering Aquarius” were available for 2021 this time. This happens once every 83 years, and it happens because of the need to reconcile astrological configuration charts to calendrical years. The calculative arcana of this ‘adjustment’ is beyond my capacity. I suggest none
Kumbh 2021: Astrology, Mortality and the Indifference to Life of Leaders and Stars

Baisakhi, A Festival of Hope Editorial by PROF GOPAL K PIPLANI 191
PROF GOPAL K PIPLANI tells us what makes Baisakhi so special
Spring-time is festival-time in India. Early spring is ushered in our country with Holi, the festival of colours in March end; Ugadi and Gudi Padava follow in mid-April. And then comes Baisakhi, the harvest festival which derives its name from the Vikram Samvat month of Baisakh. It falls on April 13 every year, but on April 14, once every 36 years.
This harvest festival is celebrated with gusto by Sikhs and Hindus all over the world. Change of weather, fresh rains and a forecast of a good Rabi crop are reasons enough for happiness and celebrations with song and dance.
