The very sound and name of ‘Ganga’ offers a feeling of serenity, satisfaction of the inner surroundings and the eternality of life. And watching the Ganges is another experience. She descends from the Himalayas gushing down, breaking all the barriers, moving swiftly towards her desired destination. It seems like she merges into the ocean just because she has to but is that all she does? There’s a lot more to Ganga than just that. Only by material measures, she immensely contributes to purifying the land, assuring prosperity in and around her. What to speak of the spiritual and cultural gifts she forever offers to all.Gaga denotes eternal life and action with purpose. What is her story? How she came is important but why she came tenders a life-changing understanding, and here she is, coming to us.Bhagiratha brought Ganga down to the earthly realm to free his ancestors, who were stagnated as burnt ashes. Stagnancy indicates death and movement implies life. The Ganga represents continuous progress, while King Sagara’s children were burned to ashes owing to their own mistakes, representing stagnancy. In trying to deliver his family from this predicament, King Sagara even lost a few of his descendents. But Bhagiratha was eventually successful.His agenda of freeing his family tree in due course became the legacy of Ganga’s continuous flow; and it still continues to benefit millions of people. Movement of life is dynamic; it creates lasting culture. It is constructive and organically expansive.Life is a clash between stagnancy and movement, rotten and fresh, cooperation and conflict, and transparency and duplicitous. And those who represent Bhagiratha create lasting legacy of the unhindered flow of life.Similarly in Governance, flow represents progress. stagnancy represents obstruction, lack of initiatives. Bhagirathas are always required to cheer the flow of life, while overcoming all obstacles. and creates continues service to God and saintly people.
