GANGES: PURITY AND POLLUTION

Ganges is  considered to be  holy river.But in recent days the river is polluted in so many ways . How would you define the purity of Ganges?

The spiritual energy of Ganges and its sangalpa are intact. Even if a small water spring from a mountain emerges,it will be pure and divine by its own merit as it passes through many rare herbs .The Ganges flows though the Himalayas and forests. beholds the quality of many herbs, the blessings of many Siddhas and saints and by own Ganges is a divine entity.

The pollution in Ganges happens in few areas of its journey and up to places like Rishikesh and Haridwar it  is so pure and crystal clear. There are some people  who are indifferent to nature and they fail to treat nature with due respect either due to their ignorance or selfishness. So Ganges seems to be polluted.Since many happen to be near Ganges, they take this holy river for granted. But highest tolerance prevails in nature and nature based divinity. But people still throng for a holy dip in  the Ganga throughout its path and they feel its divinity in so many ways. They are not only benefited but they also do not claim any ill effects even if Ganges is seen as a water body. Corpses float in it.Man discharges are floating in it. Still the pilgrims are not affected by it.

So the divinity of the Ganges is there for sure beyond all external pollution happening. It is also important to realize that there is a stage beyond tolerance and people raise up to refrain from polluting any elements of nature.
