The
extremely sacred and pious Ganga rises from the feet of none other than Lord
Vishnu.
The
remembrance of Ganga is enough to do away with all the sins and making one
peaceful.
This place where Ganga
and Yamuna merge is famous as Prayaag in the world.
It is the same place
where Brahma had once invoked Lord Vishnu in a Yagya. Since then, innumerable
sages have followed Brahma and performed different kinds of Yagyas there.
Even a person who recites
the name of Ganga hundred miles from Prayaag attains salvation.
The sand of Ganga’s bank
on the forehead is like, in a way, bearing the crescent shaped Moon on the
head.
Those who remember Ganga
receive the benefit of performing pilgrimage to all the holy places.
Among other places of
pilgrimage, Varanasi has almost equal significance to that of Prayaag.
Ganga is the mother of
the entire world.
Mere touch of her sacred
waters salved the sixty thousand sons of Sagar.
