Had got few bottles of gangajaal from Triveni Sangam during my last visit to Prayagraj in October end 2024. Brought one such bottle all the way to Bahrain. 

This bottled gangajaal is unlike any normal bottled gangajaal one can source offline / online which is clear, processed, triple filtered !

But the original one, slightly turbid. Forms an essential ingredient for my daily Shiva Avishekam to my Banalingam.

It’s been said : the water on the Earth today is the same water that’s been here for nearly 5 billion years. Only a tiny bit of it has escaped out into space. As far known, new water hasn’t formed either.

That means there’s a very high chance the gangajaal in my bottle was the water that has flown through the Triveni Sangam through eons and also fed and nourished the Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati.

This is the water which has touched and been charged with the tapas of millions of sages and Sants, Aghoris and Naga Sadhus from time immemorial and also by Adi Shankara Himself. 

This is the water which has flown right out of the matted locks of Shiva Himself and found refuge in my tiny bottle. 

This is the water which has revived and rejuvenated the brothers, kith and Kin of the unrelenting Bhagiratha. 

This is the water which has seen the drop of the Holy Nectar from Samudra Manthana and become holy; 

Immortality is here, in this water, that’s perennial;

in this consciousness and belief that nothing ends but goes on : to repeat, to recur, 

even this human existence; 

To realize, to internalize, to assimilate the Mahakumbh, the Puranic allegory of immortality in the cycle of everything that goes on without end, even human existence, is the greatest gift and take away from the greatest gathering of Sanatana faith.

…

Let’s pause, reflect, discover the Kumbh: the transcending nature of everything in life and the Universe, even Us: 

Our bodies are just a vehicle to realise, internalise, assimilate what’s forever immortal, without beginning or end, the essence, the everything, the nothing, the Shiva, the singularity. 

 Jai Shiva Shambhu…

Hari Aum Tat Sat…
