Puram, Coimbatore The lecture aims at giving the audience a wholesome understanding of the "scientific basis of Ganga consciousness", transporting them to a realm "beyond birth and death". Exposing them to a panoramic vision of the river Ganga's "easy journey to other planets", it will invoke the blessings of mother Ganga on them for attaining the "perfection of yoga", thus enabling all to bathe in the "reservoir of pleasure".

It will highlight the methodology of Sahasranamas of different deities in the Puranas along with a scan of the physical and psychic body of the Ganga Sahasranama. The unique feature will be scientific explanations of the multiple dimensions of time and space deeply implanted within the meanings of this prayer. There will be a visual presentation on the "Descent of the Ganges" in Bharatanatyam dance form by Kumari Narayanai Venkatasubramaniam, disciple of Dr. Padma Subramaniam of Chennai, and Kumari Vijayalakshmi Ramaswami, disciple of Mrs. Padma Mohan of Sri Rangam on 26th, 28th and 30th of May, 2002.
