| It is very
important to grasp this point before we get any further with any kind of Samskara. As if the river Ganga originates from Gangotri…It flowswith all
its white waters and its melodious music.
And, the name changes to Alaknanda. It flows in a
continuity. There is the same essence, the same melody, and the same purity.
Just the name is different. Ganga flows to Haridwar, and
then touches Varanasi.
Other rivers and riverlets join in. But, the same Ganga
flows with the essence in continuity.
It has covered distance in space and time, it has changed
in quality and quantity. But its reverence has remained the same.
Parmeshwar to Satishwara to Rameshwara, the flow of
santliness has continued. Krishna has described it beautifully in Bhagwadgita:
Ewam paramparpraptmimam rajaryayo viduh
sa kalenneh mahatta yogo nashtah parantap
(4..2) |
