Varanasi: Heartbeat of devotion
Ganges’ dazzling delta

Many say "why do y'all hindus pour milk on shiva? And watch the whole ganga and yamuna and other rivers be dirty? Why do y'all pour foods in rivers? That's just nonsense. Rather give the milk to poor people instead of wasting" It has me question too. What's the point of it? Is it even for betterment in the logical sense? Previously in ancient times there used to be some kind of tunnel that would take the milk somewhere secure apparently. But there's no such thing currently, so what does it mean?
Please understand this fact that the Hindu Bhaktas have no role in maintaining Ganga or Yamuna now. It is now the neo elites of India giving the heads up to companies to dump industrial waste there. Even two years ago, Delhi municipal corp dumped it's waste in Yamuna also in Kanpur the leather industry is one of of the main pollutants of Ganga, but when Modi government tried to crackdown on it the NGOs started crying. Speaking of which, did you know that it was during the British rule that Muslim owned abattoirs and tanneries started being built around Ganga on mass scale which led to great pollution of Ganga? ⬇️
A Hindu doing rituals was never, is not, and will never be polluting Ganga or Yamuna. In fact, scientific research has found that the Ganga possesses unique bacteriophages, the viruses that destroy harmful pathogenic bacteria, such as E. coli and cholera-causing bacteria, without affecting beneficial microbes. This antibacterial property was first observed by British bacteriologist Ernest Hankin in 1896, who noticed that cholera bacteria died rapidly in the Ganges water. Back when Londoners were dying due to the Great pollution of the Thames, Ganga was crystal clear and pure.
Most of the milk of any kshirabhisheka is stored and distributed as prasad to the devotees. Today, Westerners and Mullahs make fun of Hindus for our practice of taking a holy dip, after invading, pillaging and destroying and raping our nature. The audacity of these barbarians!!
