✨ From Faith to Findings – A Journey Close to #My #Heart Some #chapters #stay #on #paper… but some become a #feeling #you #carry #within #you. While writing this chapter, I didn’t just study the #Maha #Kumbh #Mela—I felt it. The #devotion in the air, the #silent #prayers, the #overwhelming #energy of #millions #seeking something beyond the #material #world… it was deeply moving. I’m truly happy to share my published book chapter: 📖 “Managing Millions, Market, Meeting Masters and Moksha: Exploring the Digital Confluence of Spiritual Tourism and Internationalisation of Maha Kumbh Mela” From witnessing the scale of human faith to analyzing how technology and globalization are shaping these sacred experiences, this journey was both intellectually enriching and emotionally grounding. 💭 What we felt while writing: A #sense of #humility… realizing how small we are in the vastness of collective belief A #sense of #pride… being part of a culture so rich, spiritual, and timeless A #sense of #curiosity… understanding how tradition adapts without losing its soul 📚 Co-authored with Dr Sharmila Devi and Bablu Kumar Dhar , Much #Thanks for the #collaboration and #trust in this subject. 🔗 Read here: https://lnkd.in/d7JMRN2e 📌 DOI: https://lnkd.in/dDK997Cb 🙏 This is more than a #publication—it’s a small tribute to the #spirit #of #India, where faith flows like rivers and connects #millions of #hearts. This chapter is part of the edited volume: Spiritual Tourism and Landscape: Indigenous Technique and Holistic Insights Edited by Arunesh Kumar , Dr. Ahmad Albattat, Dr. Pankaj Singh Chandel (PhD), and Dr. Prachi Agarwal. Many thanks to the editors for their review, feedback, and publication.
