Discover information, advice, and prices for Ganga Amar Chitra Katha sold for 99.22 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Today we cannot imagine an India without the Ganga Yet there was a time according to the Mahabharata and Ramayana when there was no Ganga on earth at least not until King Bhagiratha brought her here He did it to redeem the souls of his ancestors the arrogant sons of Sagara who were burnt to ashes by the wrath of Sage Kapila whom they had offended Since they had died without their last rites being performed they were doomed to suffer in hell Later the Sage relented and told Amsuman Bhagirathas grandfather that if Ganga in all her purity were brought to earth and made to touch the ashes of the sons of Sagara their sins would be washed away and they would go to heaven Perhaps the Hindu custom of offering a sip of water from the sacred river Ganga to a dying or dead person as part of the last rites had its origin in this myth Neither Amsuman nor his son Dilipa after him succeeded in their attempts to bring the sacred river to earth The stupendous feat was achieved by the singleminded perseverance of Bhagiratha That is the mythological tale as told in Mahabharata and Ramayana Mythology is not all fact we know but yet in its vast poetic exaggerations one can always trace an outline of truth The presence of the Rajasthan desert in close proximity to the IndoGangetic plain makes it plausible that perhaps there was a time when there was no Ganga in India It is not difficult then to visualize what agonies the people there must have suffered without the blessed water If that had been so then Bhagirathas task of bringing Ganga to earth was indeed a colossal one and one that merits all that has been sung and said about it in the epics

The Avatar concept is the very cornerstone of Hindu theology According to it the Supreme Power manifests itself in animal or human forms on earth with the divine mission of cleansing it of the periodically increasing evil The Avatar concept is closely related to the measurement of time in Hindu theology which has its basis on one working day of Brahma According to the Bhagwat Purana Brahma the creator is the causal effect of the predetermined periodic creation and dissolution of the universe Each creation or Kalpa is equal to one day and each dissolution or Pralaya is equal to one night in the life of Brahma A Kalpa and a Pralaya last for 4320 million human years each Every Kalpa has 1000 cycles of 4 Yugas ages Each cycle of 4 Yugas is completed in 4320000 human years The Yugas are called Satya Treta Dwapara and Kali The Avatars which are considered most significant are ten in number and they form the Dasha Avatar These ten avatars start with the form of a lowly fish and work up to the noble man cast in the image of God The fanciful find a parallel to Darwins theory of evolution in the progression of these Avatars The Avatars enable the common folk to speak of or listen to stories of divine doings which is a simple way of proceeding towards Godhead particularly in our Kali Yuga with its sick hurry and divided aims
