Holy Ganga river, resides in the heart and soul of one and all, whether it is a child, youth or an old person hailing from an Indian society or a foreign land. As soon as, we are at Ghats of Ganga river, we all fold hands to worship the mother Goddess Ganga and the mesmerizing scene of the flowing river, thousands of worshippers hold lighted Diya’s in their hands willingly lose themselves in the ongoing prayer to find their real identity and awakened soul. This is the power and love, which I felt when I attended an aarti session at the Ghats of Rishikesh and had the sacred bath at Har Ki Pauddi. It was an awakening of a new self and one of the turning points of my life – a New AWAKENED SELF- A SELFLESS SELF. This paper is an attempt to research our ties with Ganges river socially, spiritually, culturally, physically and psychologically since our birth till our death. How an Indian grows with the power and spirit of mother Ganges, her loving blessings and her teachings which are an essential part of Hinduism. Our true religion which is incomplete without holy Ganges and the power and benefits of its sacred water. The research paper is an attempt to make an individual to realize that there exists a profound affinity of an individual with her sacred mother, Ganges,and the inscrutable power of mother nature which believes only in giving and washing away all our sins. Then it remains in our hands to protect and conserve our mother Ganges and be blessed by her infinite bounties. This paper also proves that not only spiritually but scientifically also the mother Ganges is having “unique properties” and its water contains a high proportion of organisms with antibacterial properties. In fact, reverence for Ganga is a part of Indian identity and it’s the pride and symbol of Indian culture. Even our Respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi feels that it’s his fortune that he has got the chance to serve mother Ganga. Shri Narendra Modi has started the Project Namami Gange and we all Indians feel proud about it.
