Holy River Ganga<\/span><\/h2>\n

The ever-lasting divinity of Holy River Ganga \u2013 instilled with the purest form of freshness and goodness \u2013 thousands of years and still reflecting the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ganga<\/strong> especially is the River of India, beloved of her people, round which are intertwined her memories \u2013 her hopes and fears \u2013 her songs of triumph \u2013 her victories and her defeats. She has been a symbol of India\u2019s age-long Culture and Civilization, ever-changing, ever-flowing and yet ever the same Ganga.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2013 Jawaharlal Nehru<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are you aware of this<\/strong>?? The Ganges<\/strong> is the only river to follow from all the three different Worlds \u2013 Swarga said as Heaven; Prithvi said as Earth and Patala said Underworld or Hell<\/strong>. And the one who travels all the three Worlds is addressed as Tripathaga<\/strong> in the Sanskrit Language.<\/p>\n

In Hinduism<\/strong> \u2013 the sacred river Ganges is personified and personalized as the Goddess Ganga. The Hindu religion followers believe that bathing in this holy river would help to wash off all the wrongdoings\/sins<\/strong> and assist or guide to live a healthy and prosperous life ahead.<\/p>\n

People also consider that the mere touch of this river will help to overcome the negative consequences and in result will facilitate MOKSHA<\/strong> [Salvation or release from the cycle of life and death]<\/strong> and this is the reason why the ashes of the dead are immersed in this sacred river.<\/p>\n

We strongly believe that one should keep on getting involved in the activities, which is in common welfare and interest.<\/p>\n

As per the 700 verse Hindu Scripture written in Sanskrit that is a part of the Hindu epic and extraordinary Mahabharata \u2013 Bhagavad Gita<\/strong> quotes the below- mentioned line:-<\/p>\n

Karma Kiye Jaa \u2013 Phal Ki Chinta Mat Kar<\/strong><\/p>\n

[which means all you have to do is to follow the path of righteousness<\/strong> \u2013 help the needy ones \u2013 be kind to every person you meet \u2013 never lie to anyone \u2013 put all your effort to bring a smile on the faces of people who come across your path. Just keep on doing the best you can \u2013 rest leave everything in God\u2019s hand \u2013 never ask for anything in return<\/strong>; there will be a time when your Karma<\/strong> will pay you well.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
