Gauracandra 1 Report post Posted December 24, 2001 The following is a verse from the Sri Brahma-vaivarta Purana describing Mother Ganga. I'm taking this from a book I received yesterday titled "Our Merciful Mother Ganga" by Jaya Vijaya Das. It is a very nicely produced book with nice binding, pictures, paintings, and stories about the Ganges. Sri Ganga-devi has a white complexion like the campaka flower. White garments and jeweled ornaments adorn her body. Millions of moons shower their effulgence upon her, whose ever-youthful form smiles eternally. She is the beloved of Lord Visnu and is forever endowed with fortune. She removes everyone's sins and her feet grant liberation to all deserving souls. She is able to award one the lotus feet of Lord Visnu, and thus she is known as Visnupadi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read it many times, though sometimes, I can't understand the terminogies being used. But I am listing the terms, and research it's meaning. /images/graemlins/smile.gif God Bless! Jai Sri Ganga Mayi! Myra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
