Former topless model Katie Price to take a dip in holy river Ganga?
January 29th, 2010 - 6:09 pm ICT by Sampurn WireBritish celebrity Katie Price reportedly has shown a interest in spiritual trip to holy river Ganga in India.
According to reports, Katie (Katrina Amy Alexandria Alexis Infield Price), 31, has shown interest in taking a dip in Ganga, spiritual visit to India, evolving a new persona through spiritualism, cleansing her soul, finding her true self, visiting holy sites and temples of India, and finding inner peace. Born in Brighton (United Kingdom), she is an actress-author-media personality-model-producer-songwriter and a former topless model.
According to a belief, all sins/evils committed by the Mela pilgrims and their ancestors back to the 88th generation will be washed away forever by a dip in Ganga during these dates and that they will achieve salvation and emerge regenerated and healed. Its observance is believed to go back to ancient Vedic period and the legend of “Churning of the Ocean” is associated with it.
Termed as biggest spiritual gathering on earth, Kumbh Mela (pot-fete) is being held from January 14 (Makarsankranti) to April 28 (Vaisakh Aadhimaas Purnima) and includes 11 bathing dates in between, at Haridwar, where fast-flowing Ganga enters the plains from Himalaya. Held four times every twelve years and rotating among Allahabad, Nasik, Haridwar, and Ujjain (all in India); this Mela takes place when the planet Jupiter enters Aquarius and Sun enters Aries.
