Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Thank you Satyen Raoji for that link. I just like to share a story with you and to all. In the Mahabharata, where at the end of the great war Vyasa, the legendary author of the epic, calls the slain armies from the depts. Of the river for the final reunion : "The Vyasa entered the sacred water of the Ganges, and summoned all the warriors. Immediately there was a deafening roar from within the waters, and the kings with all their armies arose in their thousands from the waters of the Ganges, free from all animosity and pride, anger and jealously.. and purged of every sin, the heroes of met with each other. All of them were happy of heart. Son met with father and mother, wife with husband, brother with brother, and friend with friend..All the warriors, reconciled with each other, renouncing enmity and becoming established in friendship. Thus they passed that night in great happiness. When the day dawned, they embraced each other and took respective places. Thereupon, Vyasa, the foremost of ascetics, dismissed them. Within the twinkling of an eye, they disappear in the very sight of all. Plunging into the sacred river Ganga, they proceeded to their respective abodes" Page 37, The Ganges in Myth and History.
