Abode divine <br />Of God reliever, <br />From whirls worldly. <br /> <br />Resting on the banks of Ganga divine, <br />Celestial ghats with bathers faithful rhyme. <br />Scene phenomenal of equality, brotherhood, <br />And classless society. <br /> <br />Devotees offering nectar to mother Ganga, sun, <br />And all near, dear, dead and alive. <br />Floating, twinkling, lamps to awake, <br />The inner consciousness, be one with higher consciousness. <br /> <br />At a distance, burning ghats, with moist eyes, <br />Mourners, bidding farewell to departed soul, <br />Puting dead in the pyre and giving the fire, <br />Immersing ashes with reverence in holy deep, to merge with the creator. <br /> <br />Cows, the national and symbol secular, moving merrily, <br />Faithfuls offering eatables to mother cow, <br />Monkeys, representative of Lord Hanuman, <br />Playing, eating with the devotees. <br /> <br />The endless sea of holy saints in saffron, <br />Color of sacrifice, love, devotion and purity, <br />Since the dawn of life, their ways are the ways of God. <br /> Meditating to preserve wisdom high and spiritual light. <br /> <br /> For Hindus, in this land of miracles, from water to dust, <br />Every thing, every where is God and His creation, <br />Water, sun, river, lamp, cow, monkey and saints. <br />This is unique riches in poverty, hunger and slumdogs. <br /> <br /> <br />Garhmukteshwar is a holy place for Hindus, situated on the banks of holy river Ganga, in Uttar Pradesh and around ninety kilometer north-east from Delhi, capital of India. <br /> <br />FROM: <br />DR.
