Author Description

Excerpt from Child of the Ganges: A Tale of the Judson Mission The Ganges is the impersonation of the goddess Ganga, the daughter of the Himalaya. It is believed to be a gift from heaven sent in answer to sixty thou sand years of prayer and severe austerities. Siva was required to catch the descending stream upon his head lest its sudden fall should tear the earth asunder.
