Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Dear Group, A heartwarming article Regards, aavesh LORD KRISHNA SAYS, "OF ALL THE RIVERS, I AM GANGA"TEXT & AUDIO LINK:http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17134270AUDIO DURATION: 14 minsTEXT (ABSTRACT):National Public Radio reported: New scientific evidence supports the claim that water flowing in India's holy Ganges river -- where millions of people bathedaily -- has special self-purifying properties, which act as a disinfectant that kills bacteria, and prevents disease. In the fourth installment of a six-partseries recorded for NPR, independent film producer Julian Crandall Hollick investigated the claim that the Ganges had something special in its water, whichhe called the 'mysterious X factor'.The report stated, 'Hindus have always believed that water from India's Ganges River has extraordinary powers. The Indian emperor Akbar called it the 'waterof immortality' and always traveled with a supply. The British East India Co. used only Ganges water on its ships during the three-month journey back toEngland, because it stayed 'sweet and fresh'.' Hollick found a retired professor of hydrology, DS Bhargava, who has been investigating water samples fromvarious parts of the river. He says that the oxygen levels in the Ganges' are '25 times higher than any other river in the world', which gives it its self-purifyingquality. Hollick also interviewed Jay Ramachandran, a Molecular biologist and entrepreneur in Bangalore, who explained why the Ganges doesn't spread diseaseamong its bathers. The high amount of oxygen in the water helps assimilate organic materials, and helpful bacteria destroys harmful bacteria Large amountsof people bathing in the river seems tostimulate the helpful bacteria to act upon the bacteria that is harmful to humans.The Ganges alone out of all of the world's rivers is a self-purifying system.
