Now, Nihilism doesn’t have any adverse effects on the world, if you have a correct mindset to agree with the truths and understand them. Please do not be delusional, and embrace the Dynamic Unity and oneness of the universe. Hinduism is not about infinite gods, idol-worshipping, illogical rituals and superstitions, but has a very tranquilizing depth and philosophical meaning to it. This Kumbh Mela tragedy is just a biological COVID-19 explosion that has already happened and will have repercussions all over India. But, do you realize what this is actually resulting into? The exact opposite outcome of what everyone is praying for! Of course, most people do these things or rituals so as to wish better for everything, and might have true positive intentions behind it. This leads people to become ‘god-fearing’, to follow random superstitions and traditions which originated eons back with understanding with the true purpose of these would have genuinely been.

A formal fellow person, who is not strong enough to embrace the universal truths however dark and scary these facts are tends to surrender oneself to various unknown beliefs and illogically incorrect statements just to have a little mental peace to battle this existential dread of being alive. The current scenario in India, specifically the Kumbh Mela and the so-called miraculous ‘shahi snan’ to rinse off the sins and rejuvenate oneself, during the outbreak of a pandemic is in short just being braindead.

And, the worst part is that this is ubiquitous even among the so-called “well-educated” people.
