Karmen Plasencia, pilgrim to Kumbh Mela: “I had never experienced so much energy in my life. It was like stepping onto another planet so different from America or anything I had ever witnessed. So many different aspects of the Hindu religions, gathered all together peacefully. I felt as if I dropped into the heart of India and received blessing. A great deal has happened since I returned from this mystical journey. I stepped into this deep connection with spirit, myself and India.” Photo courtesy of PBS
