Collecting Holy Water In Kolkata. Octobar '04, 2008 Ganga, Kolkata West Bengal, India - People Collecting Holy Water From Ganga For Worshipping Lord Shiva. Unfortunately At Present This Major River Of India Is Being Polluted Tremendously Due To The Untreated Sewage, Industrial Effluents, Factories Wastes, Domestic Wastes. People Are Freely Allowed To Dump Garbage, Flowers, Idols Of Gods And Goddesses Directly Into The River. Discarding Logic And Reason, The Conditioned Minds Of The Hindus Only Attempts To Give Interpretations And Explanations To Suit Their Blind Beliefs. For The Average Hindu It Is Not A Matter Of Esoteric Interpretation But Of Simple Faith Reinforced By Popular Texts That The Goddess-River Ganga Is The Most Accessible And Powerful Agent Of Salvation Available To Him.
