They're not materialistic persons. So you get their association sādhu-saṅga.
Guest (3): No, if we people go there at Kumbha Mela time, is it good?
Prabhupāda: Is it not good if so many saintly persons will come? The atmosphere is so nice.
Guest (3): So many people accumulate.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Not only... Not people, but saintly persons. Yes. They have actually executed bhajana, sādhana. Brahmeti paramātmeti. Maybe somebody is brahmavādī, somebody paramātmavādī, somebody bhaktas, but they're transcendental. They're not materialistic persons. So you get their association sādhu-saṅga (CC Madhya 22.83). Ādau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-saṅgaḥ (Cc. Madhya 23.14-15). The Sādhu-saṅga is essential. And that is our civilization. Sādhu-saṅga.
Guest (11): So many people come with one wish and the whole atmosphere is charged...
Prabhupāda: Yes, spiritual... Sādhu-saṅga, (Hindi).
Guest (2): Sādhu-saṅga, of course, is very important. Getting to take a dip in Ganges at that, during this period, has that got any particular significance apart from sādhu-saṅga?
Prabhupāda: Yes. There is. At least your faith is increased. With faith you take a dip. Faith cure. And Ganges herself is purifying.
Guest (2): No. Is there special significance during this period? That is all the time.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is... The significance is sādhu-saṅga, purification.
