Story of Sagara Maharaja.
Kapila Muni is not Kapila Deva, son of Devahuti.
Bhagiratha, a descendant of Sagara Maharaja, decides to liberate the children of Sagara Maharaja by bringing the Ganges River to Earth.
The Ganges has three currents, and one of its names is Jahnavi Puline.
Song: Sri Ganga Stotram: Devi Suresvari Bhagavati Gange.
Beautiful song by Bhaktivinoda Thakura: Kabe Gaura Vane.
The Vaivarta Purana and the Brahma Purana glorify Ganga Devi.
There is the Ganga sakhi (friend) of Srimati Radha and the Ganga who washed Vamanadeva’s lotus feet.
Lila: Radha argues with Sridhama for being prevented from entering the kunja where Krishna was with Ganga and everyone has to come to the material world.
The Bhagavad Gita has eighteen names and the first is Ganga.
Song: Ei-baro Karuna Koro.
Be careful not to offend the Holy Names and the Vaishnavas.
The beautiful twenty-six qualities of the Vaisnavas: kṛpālu, akṛta-droha, satya-sāra sama nidoṣa, vadānya, mṛdu, śuci, akiñcana… (CC Madhya-lila 22.78–80).
Where one reads and listens to the Bhagavad Gita, there are Radha and Krsna: yatra gītā-vichāraś cha pathanaṁ pāṭhanaṁ tathā modate tatra śrī-kṛṣṇo bhagavān rādhayā saha… (Gita Mahatmya of Vaisnava-tantra-sara 43).
