As soon as the first bell of Aarti rang, a rhythmic pulsation came in the flow of the Ganges. When the throat of Vedas and scriptures started on Har Ki Pauri, it seemed as if the entire universe was swinging on the rhythm of these divine sounds.
Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda's verses, the verses of the Upanishads, the messages of the Bhagavad Gita and the esoteric words of the Yogasutras - all together were presenting a divine lords of divine lords, in which the Triveni confluence of spirituality, philosophy and devotion was clearly visible.

The huge lamps in the hands of scholars, saints and masters, the echoing around the hour-ghadiyal, the announcement of every gange and the innumerable shadows of lamps in the flowing Ganges water- this scene was not only with the eyes, but to experience the heart. It seemed as if Ganga Mata herself was accepting the reverence of her devotees.
