Let Us Visit The Holy Rivers In Order To Wash Away Our Sins

LET US VISIT THE HOLY RIVERS IN ORDER TO WASH AWAY OUR SINS

INTRODUCTION

At least once in a year, we must have to compulsorily visit and worship the holy rivers such as the Ganges, Narmada, Cauvery, Yamuna, Godavari and Ma Thungabhadra in order to wash away our sins. Great sages and saints used to construct Ashrams near the banks of the holy Rivers in order to perform their meditation peacefully. Holy Rivers have been dwelling in the earth only for the sake of removing our sins, and to protect us through their divine powers throughout our lives. There are few Mantras and songs associated with these holy rivers and by reciting those Mantras and by singing songs in praise of the holy River mother goddesses, we would get great spiritual enlightenment.

Among the holy Rivers, River Ganges is considered as the most auspicious one, since she was previously residing on the matted hair of Lord Shiva. It was the great Bhagiratha, who had made her to dwell in the earth, in order to grant salvation to his ancestors. Some old aged Hindu women used to reside at Varanasi, in order to attain death at that holy place. And still we can find lot of dead bodies floating in the Holy Ganges River, with the belief, that the departed souls would attain salvation by doing like that.

All the rivers are considered as holy and worshipful mother goddesses, since each and every river contains the features of Ma Shakti Devi. These divine mothers would show great mercy even to the wicked and cruel ones, and would try to find out ways to correct their nature. Those who are unable to visit the holy rivers can at least get their darshan by watching the YouTube Videos, and they can also worship them regularly in their soul.

Though all these rivers have been controlled by Lord Varuna, yet they contain great powers similar to Varuna, and they are having enough powers to float the entire earth itself through their supreme powers, but they would never do like that, since they contains lot of patience similar to the holy earth mother, Ma Bhudevi. Those who take bath in the holy Rivers would be freed from their sins, and they would become pure and pious.

Hence let us praise the glory of the Holy River mother goddesses and let us be blessed.
