THE GREAT MOTHER

Faithful take bath in the waters of the sacred river gange in the holy city of india, Benares, India. March 22, 2008
Five hundred million people, about 8 percent of the world’s population, live in the Ganges basin. 
According to a UN report, India occupies the third place in the ranking of 122 countries with the worst quality of water.The recent report of a U.S. agency forecasts, by 2030, the death of Indian sacred river because of global warming, water pollution and construction of dams along the river.
Ganges death not only will ravage the economy of that area but, moreover, it will affect deeply the local people spiritual life, with its ancient rituals and traditions.
