PRAYAGRAJ, India (Diya TV) — Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, was on Tuesday spotted in Prayagraj for participation in the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025. She was given the Hindu name “Kamala” during her visit by the Niranjani Akhara, as if granting her the right to solidify her inter-connection with Hinduism.
Powell Jobs, in her philanthropy and as Emerson Collective’s CEO, has openly professed being an admirer of Hindu thought. This journey to Prayagraj comes as a direct reflection of these interests as Powell Jobs interacts with spiritual leaders and surrounds herself with religious and cultural celebrations of the Kumbh Mela.
The Niranjani Akhara, one of the more important monastic orders that takes part in the Kumbh Mela, bestowed the name “Kamala” upon Powell Jobs. Swami Kailashananda, a senior member of the Akhara, said, “She is coming to visit her guru here. We have given her the name ‘Kamala’.”
