The origin of the Maha Kumbha Mela Festival.
The story of the mother of serpents and the mother of Garuda.
Garuda brought the pot of nectar from the heavenly planets to 4 places on Earth: Nasika, Ujjain, Haridvar, Prayagaraja, and Prayagaraja is where the Maha Kumbha Mela Festival takes place. By bathing in these places, all sins are extinguished.
By attending the Kumbha Mela in Vrndavana, where Krsna performed lila with the demon Kaliya, one obtains suddha-bhakti.
The story of Saubhari Rsi.
Those who commit offenses against Guru and Vaisnavas lose all bhakti and turn to Maya.
