Who Actually Bathed in the Ganga? God Revealed the Secret!
A brief discourse of Pujya Maharaj Ji — to hear the complete version, watch the video above.
Full Discourse
In Haridwar, everyone is bathing in the Ganga. Parvati said, "Lord, what virtuous souls - everyone is bathing in the Ganga." He said, "Not everyone is bathing in the Ganga - they are just dunking in the water. Hardly anyone truly bathes in the Ganga. Their relish is gone now." I didn't understand, Lord - they are bathing, and you are saying they're bathing in the water. I will tell you. He took the form of an old man, showed a slippery scene, and [he] fell into a pit of mud. Speaking to Parvati, [he said], "Tell these people to pull my husband out. When someone comes to pull [him] out, tell them: if you are sinless, you can touch [him]; otherwise you will be reduced to ashes."
The woman called out: "Brother, please get my husband out." Some would joke, some would say something else, some would think like this: "A dharmic man, friend - if I am sinless, I can touch [him], or else I will be reduced to ashes. I have sinned a lot, so how can I touch [him]? Why would my husband be reduced to ashes?"
One simple man, after bathing in the Ganga, [chanting] "Har Har Gange, Har Har Gange," came out. [The woman] said to him, "Brother, please get my husband out." [The man] said, "Sister, I'll pull [him] out." [The woman] said, "Wait - if you are sinless, you can touch [him]; otherwise you will be reduced to ashes." He said, "Mother, don't you understand that I am coming directly from bathing in the Ganga?"
