Ganga

The Story of God on Nat Geo . Wonderful series , just few lines from one of the episode .

Our Holi Ganga is the mother as she gives birth to everything, all life on earth . This river came from heaven through lord shiva few hair knot , may be from the milky way . Milky way  actually is the reflection of the water which is still beyond . Scientist have dated universe to about 14 billion years of its creation. As far as Hindus are concerned , they don’t believe in one creation , they believe in cycle of creation and the primeval of creation can be as back as 8.6 billion years . Actually this creation myth is very difficult to comprehend because we say that Brahma has created the universe , but then who created the Brahma .

They say that the sages , when they were in trans , they got that revelation,  that how the creation happened , but since its in that level of conciseness , beyond the realization of the commoners like you and me .

So its believed , its beyond us .

The candle or diya which we lit is actually the reflection of our soul , the living god in us . And so when we put on in a leaf plat and just let it go in the holi Ganga , it means …..Maa take my soul to the direction where you want to take it .

Wonderful and divine …life would have been meaningless without revelation
