“you will see the story of Ganga.”

you will see the story of Ganga. How Ganga happened on the planet Earth? Ganga is considered as a river which is there in the higher lokas. Tt was there with the kamandalu of Brahma, means this is the energy, this is the water energy of existence. Brahma means a creator, the energy which creates the whole existence. If you see Brahma, you can see 4 things with him: one is the kamandalu, means the water energy, another one is the palm leaves, veda, knowledge, wisdom and akshamala, means japamala. Akshamala means, akshamala represents the vibrations, sounds, though all these things and then the swan will be there, hamsavagana.

The swan, hamsa represents continuous meditation. Hamsa means continuously meditating. If you see the sound of your inhaling and exhaling, it will be ham - sam. It will go as a “ham” and come out as “sam”. When they say ham-sam, they mean continuous awareness. Creator has to be with continuous awareness, only with awareness you can create. Creativity and awareness is directly connected.

That is why Brahma is described with akshamala, means vibrations, pustaka, means the knowledge, vedas and the kamandalu, water energy and hamsam, awareness. Man who has reached the ultimate awareness, the parama awareness is Paramahamsa. Hamsam means awareness. Man who has reached the ultimate awareness is Paramahamsa. Ganga is a water energy of Brahma. She was there in his kamandalu

I'll describe the scene how the Ganga happened on the planet Earth. First, I will tell the story then we will see the deeper meaning of that metaphysical story. There was a king called Bagheerada,[00:04:25]. For some reason his forefathers had been cursed by some Rishi and they all died, they have been burnt, reduced to ashes. All their ghosts are living there, struggling, suffering. They are not liberated. So they begg Bagheerada to help them some way. Bagheerada decides “I have to do something and liberate.”

He starts meditating, doing penance, doing tapasya towards Brahma. Brahma appears and gives Darshan and he says: “Yes, I can send the Ganga to the planet Earth, no problem, but be very clear, can planet Earth hold the Ganga speed? Will planet Earth, can planet Earth sustain the force of Ganga? First, do something for that, arrange for it, then I will send the Ganga.” And again, he starts doing penance, doing tapasya.

After the tapasya Shiva appears, Shiva ask “What do you want?” Then Bagheerada says: “Now Brahma accepts to send the Ganga to Planet Earth, but he says the whole planet Earth will be washed way, planet Earth cannot withstand the speed of Ganga. Please do something. You have to protect us, you have to take care of us.” Shiva says: “Alright, I'll take care, don't worry. Tell Brahma to send Ganga, I'll take care.” He gives assurance. Then again he meditates towards the Brahma. Now Brahma appears and says: “I am ready to send, but Devatas are not ready to depart with Ganga.

Devatas wants Ganga to be there.” Bagheerada asks: “What for Devatas wants Ganga to be there?” “No, they have to take bath in Ganga every day, it is their life source. Ganga is not simple water, it is the energy. By bathing in that only the everyday they rejuvenate their body and mind, and anybody takes bath in Ganga everyday, naturally their body and mind will be rejuvenated. That is why in this hilly area, no medical, medical facilities. Practically nothing, but see how many millions of people are living happily, happily they are living. Ganga is the mother, who is protecting everybody.

So, the Brahma says they have to take bath everyday. Then Bagheerada says: “Allright, I'll arrange the, arrange all the facilities for Devatas to stay in the planet Earth. Just on the banks of Ganga I'll create cities, where all gods and goddesses can live and have bath every day and have their regular routine as they have in the other Loka. As they have in the Brahma Loka.

Brahma says: “If that is the case, then I agree. Go ahead and do it.” Then he comes and does tapas here towards Arunachala, Himahills. Hima parvatha, the Himaraj, who is the father-in-law of Shiva. He does tapas here towards Himaraja. Himaraja appears and asks: “What do you want?” “I want you to be the host for Mother Ganga. I want you to be the host for Mother Ganga. And you are the person in whom I can create a city for all the Devatas and only from you the Ganga can flow. You are the only person who can be base for Ganga, who can be base on which Ganga can flow and flow towards the planet Earth.”

You see, whenever they put a street tabs in Bharat, what the tabs, you can see, straight away when it falls, where the water falls, they will have a stone, so that the erosion will not happen. Once the water falls, then it can flow, there will be no erosion, but falling time, for that force, you need a strong stone as a base, so that the erosion will not happen. “So, only you can be a strong stone on which Ganga can land and afterwards, it can flow towards the planet Earth. Please help me, you have to be the base.” Then Himaraja says: “How can I host her? She's the compiter of my daughter.” Actually, she is supposed to be, the Ganga is considered to be the feminine energy of Shiva. Himaraja’s daughter is Parvati, Parvati is the wife of Shiva. “How can I host her? After all she is my daughter's compiter, competitor.”

Of course, he felt this guy is not, he sees all the social things. Then Bagheery gives tapas towards Parvati. Mother appears and ask: “What do you want?” Then he says: “Ma, I wanted Ganga to come to the planet Earth. I wanted your father to be a host, but he says Ganga is compiter of, competitor of you. How can he host Ganga?” She says: “Who said she is my competitor? I am she, she's me.” After all Mother is enlightened, she's a Devi, goddess. She says: “How can somebody be a competitor? I am Ganga.” She gives a beautiful explanation, metaphysical explanation, you will all understand, important idea; “Every woman has got the aspect of mother and beloved, mother and beloved, women who has realized the mother and beloved aspects in ourself, is only the fulfilled women.”

She says: “She's the women as feminine aspect of me, I am the mother aspect of her.” That is why in the traditions of Hinduism, all gods will be described with two ways. Don’t think two persons, no, two energies of same women Valli Devasena. Devasena is the mother energy, Valli is the women energy. See, the women is supposed to be the beloved and mother of a husband. So, the person who has realized both the dimension, becomes goddess. She becomes goddess.

So, when they describe all these gods having two wifes, don't think they are polygamous - no. They are not with two women, no. The two energies, their wifes are so great, they reached such a peak, they've realized both the energies, which is inside them. They care for the universe, they care for their husband as the beloved and as the mother.

If you are missing someone aspect, you are missing something, you are not complete. When a man becomes enlightened, he radiates the feminine and masculine aspects, he integrates both and he becomes both. When a woman becomes enlightened, she integrates the mother and beloved aspects and she radiates both. Huma says: “She's my feminine aspect, she is my beloved aspect. I am the mother aspect, so she is not my competitor. She is not competing with me, she is complimenting me.”

When she goes and tells Himaraja “Host her, Himaraja accepts that she will, that Himaraja will host her. Then Bagheerada starts building the whole city throughout the route in which Ganga is supposed to travel. He meditates on every hill and takes permission. He prays to every hill, every hill says: “Yes, I will give the way for Ganga.” So, all, the whole route is cleared, then he goes and prays to Kalabhairava, who is the, in charge of city Varanasi. Kalabhairava is the in charger Varanasi city, he meditates towards Kalabhairava.

Kalabhairava appears and says: “What do you want?” “I wanted, please give us the way for Ganga, we should receive Ganga and give us the way.” Kalabhairava says: “Surely I will give, don’t worry, but this is such a holy city, tell Ganga to take a, do a production of the city and go. Do the production of the city and go.” He says: Yes, I will surely tell Ganga” and Ganga accepts the Kalabhairava’s command and she takes the U-turn, means the Uttara, Uttaravalli. See, it's called Uttaravalli in Kashi, usually Ganga flows only towards the ocean. Suddenly she takes a turn. There is no hill. That you should understand, there is no hill on which she hits and turns. Here she hits the hill and takes turn, in Himalayas, in Uttarkashi. But in the Kashi, there is no hill. And just the sand meadows, and she takes the turn and goes.

Then, when all the arrangements are ready, then he meditates towards the Brahma. Suddenly Brahma comes up to the next trouble, next problem. “You meditated and propitiated all the devatas, except Vishnu. Now you have to do something to Vishnu, only then I can send Ganga.” Then he started meditating towards Vishnu. He prayed the Vishnu, did tapasya, Vishnu appeared: “What do you want?” “I wanted the Ganga to come down to the planet Earth, unless you agree, unless you give blessings, it will not be possible. Please bless me.” Vishnu says: “All right, I bless you, Ganga will come to the planet Earth. She will come just out of my feet.” And he bless us, the Ganga will come out of his feet.

Then he says a beautiful one more word: “Whomsoever has realized the Vishnu Mayam, means the universal consciousness. Whatever water comes out of their feet, will be Ganga. Whomsoever has realized the Vishnu Mayam Jagat, whomsoever has realized the me, from their feet, whatever water comes out, there'll be Ganga.”

From this word only the tradition of Pada Puja starts. Pada Puja of enlightened Masters starts from this tradition. Vishnu says: “Whomsoever has realized the Vishnu Mayam Jagat Sarvam Vishnu Mayam Jagat, from their feet Ganga will flow, from their feet Ganga will flow.” When he again meditates towards Brahma, Brahma appears with all his glory and compassion, blesses the Bagheerada, then he prays to Ganga Ma, then he does tapasya towards Ganga Ma, meditates and invites the Ganga mother, Ganga with the whole compassion. Not only compassion, the wild energy. She just comes out of the Brahma’s Kamandalu with all the power she straight away started moving towards the planet Earth. The moment she came out of the Kamandalu and started moving towards the planet Earth, all the fourteen worlds are shaken.

All the devatas, all the rishis, all the munis simply will escape from the planet Earth and ran away, because they got frightened. The pralaya is going to happen, means the end of the world has come. Such a power, they simply run away from their world, they escaped and appears Shiva. Shiva beautifully appears and puts his head in between the Ganga. She straigh away answers lands into Shiva’s head, into the matter locked [00:19:29]. The next thing, she gets locked in the hair itself, she's blocked.

Here Bagheerada is sitting sitting, sitting, waiting for Ganga for one Kalpa. What is happen? We are receiving the call she has started already, but she has not landed. At least she has started, but she has not landed here, what happened? What happened in the way? Again he meditates towards Shiva. Shiva appears and says: “Yes, she is there in my head. Now what do you want me to do?” Bagheerada says: “Please, just send a little bit. Don't hold the whole thing.” Then Shiva says: “Oh, is it so? All right.” Then just he moves one hair. Just he does, only one hair moves and from that one hair gap just Ganga comes out and lands under Himalayas and comes. That is the river which is flowing throughout this planet Earth.
