According to Hinduism, the Ganges is the most sacred of all rivers. The “holiest” cities of Hinduism rest along its banks.
Every year, millions of Hindus travel to the Ganges to wash themselves in its water. By simply washing in the Ganges, they believe that they can be cleansed of all evil and receive passage into heaven. Last year, in one month alone, over 50 million Hindus came to bathe in the Ganges.
Ironically, this river is considered by others to be one of the dirtiest rivers of the world. The Economist calls the Ganges River a “brown soup of excrement and industrial effluents.”
“In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:4-5
Millions remain in darkness - without hope, without peace, without God.
We His church must pray.!!.
