Visited Ganga on 8th January at Rishikesh for the first time in life. Its a great view to see the pure and young Ganga. This is the place where so many thousands of great Indian Saints lived, died, worshiped and attained knowledge.
This is one of the first place where Ganga comes down from Himalayas onto the ground. It brings the great amount of Aushada(Medicine) from the Himalayas Purity and clear forests. The water of Ganga is sacred to Hindhus by Dharma (Law) and good for anybody as it carries lot of medicine to pure your impure body. The water taken here can be preserved for 10 to 15 years without any problem. That is the power of Mother Ganga at its best.
So many great people worshiped Lord Shiva and Mother Ganga here. Sri Rama in Threta Yuga and Pandavas in Dwapara Youga did the meditation to attain self control and get rid of their sins due to the great wars.
The place even today is very sacred and maintained well. Pure Ganga water here is definite medicine.
