Maha Kumbh as interplay of science & spirituality, says Indian sustainability leader |
Vineet Mittal, Chairman of Avaada Group, a leading player in India’s renewable energy landscape attended the Maha Kumbh Mela at Prayagraj. Mittal says that he has been an ardent believer in the interplay between science and spirituality, and its relevance to modern life. Mittal is also an advocate for sustainability. Mittal highlighted India’s Legacy of Science, Spirituality, and Sustainability saying the Maha Kumbh is not just a religious gathering, but a showcase of extraordinary scientific understanding of India’s ancient rishis. Indian Rishis observed planetary alignments and cosmic rhythms thousands of years ago that influence the Earth’s energy fields and human consciousness. According to Indian historians, the Maha Kumbh is based on celestial events such as Jupiter in the zodiac sign Aquarius and the Sun transitioning into Capricorn, aligning with natural energy flows that modern science is only beginning to explore. As part of a unique initiative to promote cultural inclusivity, Avaada Group sponsored a cultural heritage trip for 1,000 individuals from underserved communities across India, offering them an opportunity to witness the grandeur of the Maha Kumbh and deepen their connection with India’s rich heritage. Mittal feels that experiences such as the Maha Kumbh at the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of three revered Hindu rivers namely Ganga, Yamuna and Sarasvati, represents unity, renewal, and harmony of people and energies. Mittal sees the Maha Kumbh representing ecological wisdom embedded in India’s traditions of preserving rivers, promoting sustainable practices, and living in harmony with nature. Mittal’s Avaada Group is a leader in the global energy transition, specializing in solar module manufacturing, renewable power generation, and the development of green hydrogen, green methanol, green ammonia, and sustainable aviation fuel projects. Avaada Energy, the group’s renewable power generation arm, aims to achieve a capacity of 11 GWp by 2026. The group has attracted substantial international investment, including a $1.3 billion commitment in early 2023, with $1 billion from Brookfield’s Energy Transition Fund and $300 million from GPSC, a subsidiary of Thailand’s PTT Group.
