Exclusive: Amish Tripathi Reveals Reason Behind Elon Musk’s Absence at Maha Kumbh Mela 2025

Renowned author and spiritual thinker, Amish Tripathi, recently extended an invitation to tech magnate Elon Musk to attend this year’s Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The Maha Kumbh Mela is the largest gathering of humanity ever, with millions of people from all over the world coming together for religious and cultural reasons.

Fascination with the Scale and Longevity of the Kumbh Mela

Amish Tripathi shared that Elon Musk found the scale of the Kumbh Mela to be extremely fascinating. With an estimated 500 million attendees, the Kumbh Mela is of such a massive scale that if it were an independent country, it would rank as the third-largest in the world. Elon was also impressed by the longevity of the Kumbh tradition, which has been observed without interruption for millennia. The fact that Indians have been gathering for the Kumbh for so long without fail intrigued him.

Spiritual Elements and Planetary Connections

In addition to the scale and longevity of the Kumbh Mela, Elon Musk was also intrigued by its spiritual elements, especially its connection to the movement of planets. Amish Tripathi explained to Elon how the timing of the Kumbh is linked to the planet Jupiter, which further piqued his interest. The spiritual dimensions of the event also caught Elon’s attention, highlighting the deep-rooted spiritual significance of the Kumbh Mela.

Elon Musk Unable to Attend Due to Busy Schedule

Despite his fascination with the Kumbh Mela, Elon Musk’s packed schedule, especially due to his new role in the US government, prevented him from attending the event. While Amish had extended the invitation to Elon, his office later conveyed that he would not be able to make it to the Maha Kumbh this year.

Overall, Elon Musk’s interest in the Kumbh Mela showcases the universal appeal and significance of this ancient tradition. The event continues to draw people from all walks of life, transcending boundaries and connecting individuals through spirituality and culture.
