Sri Ganga Sahasranama Sthothram |Uththaranyasa: || – Lyrics and meanings 187 – 196



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||










Skandha continues “The virtuous person who is freed from luster and anger, follower of strict Varnashrama Dharma,  recites the  glories  of Goddess Ganga would be benefited with supreme intellect, thousands of sacred names  of Ganga provides meritorious rewards equivalent to the sacred hymns of Goddess Gayathri, it  also provides profound knowledge in Veda and abundance of pieties, whoever read or listens to the sacred hymns of Ganga at the time of sunset  would attain the pieties of Gurushushrushanam/merits of service to preceptor,  whoever recite or listens to the glorious verses of Ganga Sahasranama would attain  the pieties  equivalent to Vedaparayana,  person who is an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu reads or listens to the sacred verses of Ganga would obtain devotion to Lord Shiva and in the other way around as well.  Whoever recites or listens to the glorious verses of sacred names of Ganga on daily basis would be blessed with the eternal presence of Goddess Ganga,  whoever reads or listens to the praises of Jahnavi who is worshiped by all the deities and Rishis, would be blessed with triumph in all endeavors and permanent happiness, Goddess Ganga is virtuous, endowed with supreme intellect and purifier of souls is eulogized by the preceptor of deities, it is needless to say that Goddess Ganga would be pleased with the recital of her thousands of sacred hymns and veneration with utmost faith and devotion.”
