Lauren Powell Jobs is Steve Jobs’ wife
Lauren Powell Jobs’ 17-day Kalpvas in Maha Kumbh Prayagraj reflects the growing interest of the western world towards Indian culture and spirituality. Steve Jobs’ wife Laurene’s participation in this event is not only a part of a spiritual journey, but also shows that events like Kumbh are becoming globally popular.
Kalpvas and its tradition:
Kalpvas is an ancient Hindu tradition, in which devotees live a simple life for a month on the banks of the Ganga. It includes self-discipline, meditation, listening to sermons of sages and saints and bathing in the Ganga. During this time people give up worldly luxuries and become completely immersed in spiritual sadhana.
Lauren Powell Jobs’s visit to Mahakumbh and doing Kalpvas further strengthens his spiritual connection. Steve Jobs was also deeply connected to Hindu and Buddhist spiritual traditions and Laurene’s coming here is an example of his following the same path.
