Har Har Gange
"पवन: पवतामस्मि राम: शस्त्रभृतामहम् |
झषाणां मकरश्चास्मि स्रोतसामस्मि जाह्नवी ||"
English Translation
"Among purifiers I am the wind; among the warriors I am Rama; among water-creatures I am the makara; and among flowing waters I am Jahnavi, Maa Ganga."
By the grace of Maa Ganga
At Shivala Ghat in Varanasi, ShivBodh Trust offers the Ganga Aarti and Vedic pooja every morning and evening, with the selfless support of devotees. Maa Ganga has only ever given; our sankalp is to offer her our gratitude every day, and to share her glory and the ghats of Kashi with everyone.

Light a diya from anywhere
Have a diya offered to Maa Ganga in your name at Shivala Ghat, at the morning or evening Ganga Aarti. Choose one day, a week or a whole month on the calendar; the Sankalp is taken in your name and gotra.
She flows from the feet of Bhagavan Vishnu, Mahadev holds her in his jata, and she came down to the earth for the welfare of all. She only gives and never asks – so every day we offer her our gratitude in the Aarti.
Fulfil your vows on the banks of Maa Ganga
Take part in the daily Aarti of Maa Ganga at Shivala Ghat as a Yajman, with your own Sankalp.
