Monday Balance

For today's challenge I've picked my favourite pebbles from the river Ganges. They are from different spots of the river course. We visited many holy places on the banks of the Ganges river - Varanasi, Hardidvar, Rishikesh, to name a few. We also attempted the pilgrimage to Gangotri glacier - the source of the Mother Ganga but we were stopped by heavy rain and landslides. All these pilgrimages to Chota Char Dam places can be quite dangerous in the rainy season. We still have Ganga river water in our fridge, for more than 5 years :-)

It was quite difficult to balance these stones on the top of each other but I didn't want to replace any of the pebbles not to break their connection.

Ganges! O mother! the sacred river
you clean our body, you clean our soul,
you clean and make sacred, the life
you clean each and every particle.

You clean the pain, you clean the sin
you clean each dirty spot of life
you clean everyone whosoever takes dip
you clean mirror of his life

You clean the greed, gluttony, wrath
you clean pride, sloth, envy and lie.
You make the eternal vision clear
and you remove obstacles of life.
