About Gangotri :
This shrine, situated at an altitude of 3,200 mt. is the source
of the river Bhagirathi. The mountain peaks of Shivling, Satopanth
and Bhagirathi sisters are surround it. Accessible by a motorable
road, it is one of the most pious Hindu pilgrimages. The River
From Heaven- According to the Indian mythology King Sagar
had 60,000 sons. He defeated all the Asuras (daemons)
in the earth and wanted to stage an Ashwamedha Yagya to
declare his supremacy. He sent his horse with an open
challenge across the earth accompanied by his sons.
The King of Heaven, Lord
Indra feared from the power of King Sagar. To stop him,
he stole the horse and tied it to the ashram of Sage Kapil.
When the 60,000 sons saw the horse in Kapil's ashram they got
furious and started to attack the hermitage. Sage Kapil was in deep
meditation and on hearing the disturbance he opened his eyes in
anger and all the 60,000 sons of King Sagar were reduced to ashes,
except prince Anshuman.
Anshuman, the grandson of
King Sagar brought the horse back from the Sage and asked for
his forgiveness. Sage Kapil told him that the sons could be
brought to life only if Ganga is brought from heaven to
earth. Neither Anshuman nor his son Dilip was successful
in this task. But Dilip's son, Bhagirath was determined to
get this task done.
He started meditating intensely for
several years and finally Ganga got pleased and descended
to the earth. To prevent the earth from flooding, Lord Shiva
received Ganga on his matted locks. King Bhagirath then
worshipped Lord Shiva and Shiva blessed him and released Ganga from
his locks in seven streams. The water of Ganga
touched the ashes of Sagar sons who rose to the their eternal rest
in heaven.
The seven streams of Ganga are
Bhagirathi, Janhvi, Bhilangana, Mandakini,
Rishiganga, Saraswati and Alaknanda, which
merge into Ganga at Devprayag. The rock, on which King
Bhagirath is believed to have meditated, is called Bhagirath Shila
and is located near the temple of Ganga.
To this date the water of holy Ganga is
believed to have Amrit (nectar) in it. It has been studied by
Scientists that the water collected from Ganga at its origin is in a
pure state and even after being kept for several years, does not get
contaminated. These medicinal properties of Ganga-Jal are
attributed to the medicinal secretions of herbs and mineral content,
which get mixed with the water.
