Guest guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 AATHREYA - Dr.BalaKrishna Murthy Ramaraju AATHREYA - GANGA MAATHA Ganga means potable water ; means Holy River. Ganga is Mother of All Holy Rivers in Bhaarath . Ganga is Mother of all the rivers of the world. Ganga is originally born from the feet of Vishnu as Brahma is washing Vishnu's feet. Ganga is the River of Sathya Lok brought to Earth for the benefit of humanity by Bhageeratha , though his original purpose is to obtain salvation for his ancestors 1000 sons of Sagara who died as a result of their unintentional insult to Kapila Muni. Ganga is known as Bhaageerathi. At the request of Bhageeratha , Shiva agreed to receive Ganga on His head and slowly release Ganga in Himalayas. Ganga is also known as Jaahnavi after the name of Jahnu Muni whose aashram She inundated. All Rivers that flow east are Nadis as Ganga is. All Rivers that flow west are Nadams as Narmada. Gangaa Snaane Punarjanma Navidyathe = who so ever bathes in Ganga will not be reborn. Om Gange , Yamene, Saraswathi , Sindhu, Brahmaputhra, Mahaanadi, Narmada , Thapathi, Godaavari, Krishna , Cauveri , Penna ,Thunga- Bhadra Ithyaadi PuNya Nadi-Nadayo Jalesmin Sannidhim Kuru. = May The Waters Of All The Above Mentioned Holy Rivers Bless All. aathreya - balakrishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
