About Ganga Mahatmya -: By bringing Ganga down to the earth, Bhagiratha delivered his ancestors and since then, various sastras have proclaimed the glories of Ganga. If the glories of the Ganga had not been included in the sastras, It would be insufficient to consider the glories of Ganga simply from a mundane perspective. There are twenty-four tattvas . The jiva is the twenty-fifth element. The jiva’s gross body is comprised of the twenty-four material elements. The jiva’s atma, which is the twenty-fifth element, transcends these. He is beyond prakrti and is thus known by the word aprakrta. Parabrahma is also a completely transcendental element. Another name for Parabrahma is Visnu. Tad visnoh paramam padam these words are found again and again throughout the Vedas. Ganga-devi has manifest from the feet of Visnu. Therefore, when some mundane praise is found concerning the waters of the Ganga, all the sastras accept it.
