Why are the origins of the Ganges River described as "holy"?

Social Studies

Eddi Din [679]3 years ago
8 0
The River Ganges is also known as the River Ganga which serves as the holiest river in any religion. It’s deemed to be a “holy river” because it is considered as an important deity in the practice of Hinduism. It is respectfully referred to as “Ganga Maiya” (Mother Ganga) by its worshippers.
<span>
Hindus believe the myths that surround the river and sanctify it as a goddess. They viewed the goddess Ganga as a beautiful woman wearing a white crown with a water lily and water pot in her hands, and saw her as riding on her pet crocodile. Hindus generally believed that all prayers offered to the river would multiply because of the holiness of the “Ganga Maiya.”  </span>

Brums [2.3K]

The correct answer is release from proactive interference.

There are two phenomena that can explain forgetfulness: retroactive and proactive interference. The retroactive happens when we have information saved and, later, we receive new, more relevant information. In this case, the nervous system gives priority to the second. Proactive interference is the opposite phenomenon

Proactive interference occurs when old memories hinder the formation of new memories.

An act to protest for civil rights will always be welcome in united states, as long as people do not use the movement to mask their true negative intention to steal and hurting other people.
