Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Namaste Swamiji, thank you for asking the question. As I understand, we help to clean Ganga every time we act selflessly as a natural expression of our love. Our capability to do this will grow if we persistently strive to surrender selfishness and make every effort to take refuge in the Guru: `Eternally remembering the image of the Guru, always making recitation of the name of the Guru, always observing the instruction of the Guru, always maintain the attitude of none other than the Guru'. Thus we gradually learn how to cultivate peace and maintain a relationship with the attitude of Truth, thereby creating waves of vibration stronger than those of our thoughtless and selfish actions. Then we enjoy the privilege of belonging to the family of sadhus and pure souls who sit on Ganga's banks, joyfully singing the names of God and contemplating the Light of Wisdom reflected in her pure waters. with love and deepest respect, Henny -- In , "Nanda" <chandimaakijai wrote: > > > Namaste to all, > > Here is a question from Swamiji to the group .

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 We can clean ourselves, both inside and out so when we bathe in Ganga, both physically and spiritually, we can help purify Her instead of burdening Her. By our example and by our Sharing and Giving, once we have attained something to Share and Give, we can help others to do the same. We can live in Harmony with this World and help others to do the same, so Bhu Devi is pleased and tranquil. We can be regular and consistent with our sadhana and steadily increase it until every moment of our short lives here becomes a puja, a meditation, a seva. Jai Maa!
