Greatness of River Ganga



  • 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.
  • No one can describe the greatness of Ganga
