Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Does anyone know anything about the Gomati? Especially any sastric references would be appreciated. All that I know is that she is considered to be a part of the Ganga and the daughter of the sage Vasistha (although I don't know the story behind the later). Garga Samhita says that she was formed by Krishna's tears. When we visited Naimisharanya a few years ago, a Panda on the bank of the Gomati told us that she was the Adi Ganga, meaning that she was present on this earth before Ganga Devi. However, I haven't found any pramanas to support that. If anyone has any comments I would appreciate it. I'm writing something about her in an article for our Kathamrita magazine. Thanks.
