Holy Ganga Poem by ritty patnaik

ganga flows from eternity,
taking along in its wisdom
the sweet sentiments,
and the sad rituals,
of the departed souls
of near and dear ones.

it offers its vast body
for the holy dip,
to inhale the lasting freedom
we seek for our own!

ganga, ever friendly to all,
offers to the mystics,
a dream,
where sages gather and expound
their faith with gusto,
in the kumbh mela of life.

from time immemorial,
the sacred river weaves a charm,
for upliftment of spirit,
in search of ones lost soul.
