In Hinduism and Indian mythology Krishna is the eighth avatar or reincarnation of the god Vishnu.Also Krishna is one of the most popular Hindu gods.Krishna was saved when exchanged by his parents for the daughter of a herdsman Nanda and his wife Yasoda (the daughter was also a divine being, an incarnation of Maya).With his foster parents Krishna spent a happy life playing boyish pranks and seducing the gopis (cow girls) and other rustic maidens.They found his flute playing irresistible.Krishna is the speaker of the Bhagavad-gita, which is recognized throughout the world as one of mankind’s greatest books of wisdom. In the Gita, as it is also known, Krishna says repeatedly that He is God Himself, the source of everything. Arjuna, to whom Krishna is speaking, accepts Krishna’s words as true, adding that the greatest spiritual authorities of that time also confirm that Krishna is God.The Vedas describe Krishna in this way: He is a beautiful youth with a glowing complexion the color of rain clouds. He plays a flute, attracting the hearts of all. His cheeks are brilliant, His smile enchanting. He wears a peacock feather in His curly black hair and a flower garland around His neck. His beautiful garments are the color of lightning. His toenails resemble the light of the moon.

What is the meaning of PURITY?


Is Ganga Snaan going to give one purity ?

Purity is reduction of ignorance as that leads to reduction of desires and fears which in turn leads to reduction of all possible sins one can ever incur interms of their children and grand children - greed, lust, anger, passion,delusions, illusions, etc.

Ganga is The Knowledge that flows all around to sooth anyone who seeks it by removing the ignorance embedded in the seeker effectively.Receiving the knowledge to cleanse off the dirt one has collected from head totoe in terms identities, ignorance and inertia.
