Why do Indian monks believe that after death, the body into the Ganges River can enjoy eternal happiness?

We know that India is one of the world's four major ancient civilizations, of course, now India and ancient India has been completely different, India in ancient times had been invaded by the Arab Empire many times, that created a brilliant civilization of ancient India has long ceased to exist. When we talk about India, we have to mention the Ganges River, which is called the mother river of India, and the Yellow River of our country, the civilization of India was initially conceived in the Ganges River Basin. They like the Ganges River very much, gave it a lot of beautiful legends, but everyone after seeing the Ganges River with their own eyes, they will find that it is very different from the legends of India!

The Ganges River is full of floating corpses, as well as a variety of living garbage, according to statistics, the Ganges River water quality is very poor, E. coli exceeds the standard is very serious, the average person drinking the water here is certainly to be finished. However, the Indian people like to bathe in the Ganges, washing clothes, and even from the Ganges inside the water to drink, so that those who go there to the tourists fell down! Indians do this because they believe that the Ganges water is the so-called "holy water", to be able to get close to the Ganges is the dream of every Indian people!

Since the Ganges River is very sacred in the hearts of Indians, why do Indians still pollute it recklessly? This has to say that the Hindu legend, the source of the Ganges River is located in Jammu and this place in Hindi is the cow's mouth means. Cow in Hinduism is a very sacred animal, from the cow's mouth out of the drinking water is naturally regarded as holy water by Hindus!

In Indian mythology, the Ganges River is also the embodiment of the goddess, the Indians believe that the Ganges River water is the world's purest water, he can wash the body of all the dirt, and even a lifetime of sins. Therefore, Indians used to immerse their corpses in the Ganges River after death in the hope that they would be cleansed of their sins and then reincarnated. After immersing the body, Indians would use firewood to cremate the body and throw the remaining bones into the Ganges.

Of course, not everyone is eligible for cremation and then thrown into the Ganges, pregnant women or children can not be cremated after death, the family directly into the Ganges! There are also some Indians who have no money for cremation after death, so they just put their bodies directly on the Ganges River. So in the Ganges see floating bodies is a very easy thing, day long days long Ganges river bottom have a thick layer of human remains, those in the Ganges bathing in the Indian, the paws of the foot can easily step on these human bones, want to think about it to feel very horrible, but the Indian people have long been accustomed to.

The bodies floating on top of the river naturally pollute the water very seriously, and when it comes to infectious diseases and so on, it's even more horrible, but the Indians think that the Ganges River is never going to be polluted. This is undoubtedly self-deception in the eyes of outsiders, but the Indians have been bathing in the Ganges, and even drinking Ganges water. Perhaps the Indians have long been on the Ganges water resistance, anyway, the general public outsiders is certainly not stand!
