Basics of Puja : Water ... L'eau .... água....Paani....Thannir

[Guest guest]

all i can say is, i wish i knew. the ganges of course is considered

the mother of all rivers in india, a flowing spiritual source. water

in general means cleansing, purification, etc. water is necessary

for life on earth ... water is also pervasive like spirit. these are

my interpretations.
