Ganga is addressed not as a simple river but as Mother Ganga. In our life, our mother is the be al and the end all. Ganga river is holy and as sacred as a mother is to her children.

HOARY PAST TO MURKY PRESENT

Long long ago much before recorded history came into being, there was a King named Bhagirath who loved his subjects immensely He found that the land in his kingdom did not yield rich produce of grain and fruits as it was parched. Hardly any water was available for drinking and bathing, what to say of irrigating large tracts of land.

He made an amalgamation of Prayer and Action ( Prarthana and Purusharth) to dig canals, bring big and mighty rivers from mountains, change their flow from the opposite direction towards his kingdom in India. King Bhagirath succeeded in getting Ganga flow into India as her direction of flow was reversed through Herculean efforts Inthe Hindi idiom, the words are BHAGIRATH PRAYATNA BECASE THE TREMENDOS

EFFORT WAS LED AND MOTIVATED BY KING BHAGIRATH

Now some greedy politicians are encouraging mining of sand andstones from the hoy river Ganga banks. It is disgraceful indeed. Ganga river is mother to all Indians, specially the Hindus and is lifeline to the entire North India from Uttarakhand to West Bengal. A stretch of 2000 miles plus of fertile land would turn into a desert if mining of sand and stones is permitted on the banks of sacred river Ganga.
