in the rush of the river
a spot of nirvana
the ganges

(find your spot...it is there
and meditate on it
it will take away
all desires and take
them out to sea)


Ganges december
the pilgrimage ends
with an ice cold bath

Ganges swim
the water takes away sins
and the city's filth

Ganges
my first bath
her last

(here is the crematioin ground for hindus too.
a body is bathed before being cremated)
