in the beginning Hindus believed Ganga
flowed in the heavens but she was held
captive by the creator god brahma then
brahma decided to send the river ganga
down to earth but there is one problem
the Ganga has got such mighty fools and
if she comes on the earth the earth will
drown
so the god Shiva blocked Ganga's for
gathering her waters in the locks of his
hair so she would just open one lock of
his hair and the Ganga fluid
she's the mother because she gives birth
to everything this holy river came from
the river in heaven that we call the
Milky Way
they say that Milky Way actually is a
reflection that you see in those waters
which are still beyond Sciences have
dated the universe to about fourteen
billion years best we can figure Hindus
have it at what Hindus do not believe in
one creation they say that these are
cycles of creation okay and the
primordial creation could be something
like eight point six billion years of or
actually this whole creation myth is
very difficult to comprehend because we
say the gods like Brahma has created the
universe but then they ask a question
who created Brahma right and then there
always a question them creation happened
and then the gods habit they say that
the sages when they were in their trance
they got that revelation that how the
creation happened but since it is in
that level of consciousness you and me
we commoners will not understand it so
we believe that it's beyond us
