The geopiety of Ganga
The movie Ganga ki saugandh had a strain
Mano tho mein ganga maa hoon
Naa mano tho behataa paani.
Ganga the river goddess,
The river Ganga is personified as goddess Ganga, she appears as the wife of Shiva and mother to kartikeya
The legend tracing her journey from gaurikunda to the Bay of Bengal is extensive ecological statement woven into a fabric of philosophy and mythology.
Of the many legends surrounding her one of the most popular source is the one from vaishnava tradition, where she descends to the earth when vamana's little toe perforates the skies, hence she is vishnupadi meandering her way on in the milky way she is akash-ganga the heavenly river. Here she symbolizes the flowing emotions or the Bhava Ganga, the Devi bhagawata says that when Shiva was to be espoused Devi manifested as various energies and Ganga was one of them, Shiva could not bear the current of Bhava-ganga so he had to expel her out of his head.
Without going through mythological details, she was brought t earth by Bhagiratha to purify the bones of his ancestors, but Ganga warns Bhagiratha that the earth cannot bear her torrent, so he had better take Shiva’s help. So Shiva entrapped Bhageerathi, in his heavenly locks and let her flow peacefully on the plains, Bhagirathi in his heavenly locks and lets her flow peacefully on to the plains. Bhagiratha then leads her to the nether world to liberate his ancestors and in her journey through the netherworld Bhagirathi is called Bhogavati. This was the water raised by Arjuna for Bhisma. After completing her course in the three worlds, Ganga is to return to her heavenly abode.
This myth of Ganga as trilokyagamini captures the water cycle, the movement of water from land, water, and clouds to rain. The melting of the glacial ice by “suryanarayana”the sun, becomes the vishnupadi, the engineering feat of channelizing this water from the glacier is the “tapas” or the Bhagiratha prayatna, the uninterrupted descent of Ganga could have caused massive destruction and land slide, particularly during the monsoonal rains, this is contained or tamed by the locks of Shiva which in sacred geography of India is represented by the thick Himalayan forests.
Though people tend to say that the Ganga dashami is to honour the descend of Ganga, the folk faith calls it the annual menstruation of Ganga. Since the water changes in quality and becomes muddy. This is the follow out of the monsoonal rains resulting in exfoliation of the debris from the Himalayan ranges.
All the episodes relate biotic connection between waters and vegetation.
