Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Jai Maa! what a beautiful story! , senka parks <swsaj wrote: > > i have little story about the Ganga river. the first time i went to india was in 1994 in december. i remember being in mayapore and the Ganga was flowing past. it was evening and i went down to offer obeisances to her. i splashed water on my head and chanted my japa. An elderly man with three horizontal lines on his forhead came beside me and kept encouraging me to submege, but i was hesitant since i could see from my travels all manner of stuff entered this river and my mind was convinced that even tho it was holy the water would not be good. He said i was using my mind not my heart. i was looking at the Ganga in a material way and not with my spiritual eyes. so i took a leap of faith and enterd the waters. when i surfaced i could see three dolphins come up for breath. they appeared pink in the setting sun. i felt a surge of awe,love.... and humility. still i have far to go in my appreciation and understanding. but i wont doubt, thanks to Ganga Ma. > > > > > > > > > !
