Believed to be the liquid manifestation of Shakti and the nurturer of
the three worlds with her life-sustaining waters, Goddess Ganga is the
epitome of beauty and purity, famous for her indomitable spirit and
boundless charm. Renowned as a devoted daughter, a caring mother, a
passionate lover and a merciful saviour, she is here to absorb and
absolve us of our sins. A constant goddess, she is part of the Indian
ethos, revered and loved across the ages.
The exquisite epic that is Ganga's story, from her miraculous origins,
her sojourn in the heavens, her poignant relationships with the divine
trinity, the birth of her sons, Bhishma and Kartikeya, and her descent
into a wicked world that is not worthy of her is dazzlingly told by
Anuja Chandramouli. Without this goddess, life as we know it will be
over, for her righteous retribution will be terrifying.
This book is a vibrant retelling of the story of Ganga, who has the
power to save us all and bestow the precious gift of moksha, embracing
saints and sinners alike with her all-encompassing compassion.
