Swami Vivekananda on Ganges in Hinduism
← Back to Swami Vivekananda Profile
“Gita and Ganga constitute, between themselves, the essence of Hinduism: one its theory, and the other is practice.”
“Darshanatsparshanatpanattatha Gangeti Keertanat Punatyapunyanpurushana Shatashotha The holy sight of Ganga gives knowledge, splendours, name, fame etc. The gravest of sins like Bramhhatya (killing of a Brahmin) and Gauhatya (killing of a cow) get absolved by the mere touch of Ganga holy water.”
