Why does the Ganges purify itself, and why does the Ganges purify itself?

Rivers, lakes and other water bodies in nature have self-purifying functions, which is normal, the Ganges.

It is no exception, except that the Ganges are considered the most sacred river by Indians, and drinking the water of the Ganges has become Hinduism.

One of the four great joys of life. The Ganges is a pure and holy river in the minds of believers, despite the fact that the water is quite turbid. But believers still believe that bathing in the Ganges cleanses oneself cleanses oneself of impurities or sins.

Maybe no matter how dirty the river is, it is not as pickled as the world. They also believe that Shiva who manages the "time limit" of the deceased.

The great gods often patrol the banks of the Ganges, and anyone who is cremated here after death can avoid the suffering of reincarnation and go directly to heaven. As a result, Hindu believers regard this place as the entrance to heaven, and at least once in their lives, they go to the Ganges River to bathe and cleanse, so more than a million Hindus come here every year to bathe and cleanse themselves and hold large religious gatherings. All people attach great importance to "bathing", especially to Varanasi; Because they firmly believe that the water of the Ganges can wash away the sins of this world and that they will live a more peaceful life in the next life.

This has gone beyond normal bathing, there is Buddhism.

The meaning of "self-purification of one's heart".

In fact, according to surveys, 40 to 50 percent of people who regularly bathe in the Ganges will suffer from ** disease.

and digestive disorders. According to the data, 80% of the sewage that flows into the Ganges every day is domestic wastewater from more than 300 million inhabitants in 29 large cities, 70 towns and thousands of villages on the banks of the Ganges, and 15% is industrial wastewater. From this point of view, the Hindus are both the greatest perpetrators and the greatest victims.

Because of thousands of years of religious traditions and customs, it cannot be changed just as it is said. But when the population appears geometrically **, and the man-made garbage also increases geometrically, the self-purification system of the mother river has long been unable to bear the burden and has been devastated. The miraculous self-purifying properties of the Ganges once convinced Hindus that the water could wash away all filth and impurities, and thus be protected by the gods, forgetting that the mother river itself needed to be purified and cleansed, and that it needed protection from its followers.

The devotion and trust in the Ganges have long since transcended a certain religious complex and turned into a psychological need and physical satisfaction, which is by no means covered by superstition. Many people believe that this river water can ** leprosy.

and ** disease. The water quality of the Ganges River is said to be weakly acidic and contains sulfur.

ingredients, and therefore curative, is not unfounded. The water of the river was so self-purifying that it was no problem to drink, and when the prince of India went to England, he used a king-sized silver bottle (now in the Jepphe Palace and Art Museum) to carry the holy water of the Ganges River for him to drink. Nowadays, after bathing, people often take some water from a kettle to bring back to their hometown, which is the most valuable gift for those who cannot come here in person.

It's just that the water at this time is no longer the water at that time, but I am afraid that this holy water has already become a thick soup of germs, not a mental medicine, but a physiological poison.

The Ganges' ability to purify itself comes from its abundant water volume and fast flow rate. On the one hand, there is a large enough environmental capacity; On the other hand, the water body has a strong reoxygenation capacity.

There is a special bacterium that purifies the river water.

Who told you that the Ganges purifies itself? Who told you that no one in India got sick because of the Ganges? It's just that India is hierarchical and rotten, and it will not take the initiative to report the negative aspects of the Ganges.

The water contains the gods and horses. It can kill 99% of germs. So the Ganges has existed since ancient times...

Water contains a radioactive element that kills bacteria

19 The purification capacity is 26 times that of other rivers.

Very dirty.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with just drinking it, because the river water has the function of purification, which will purify some pollutants and benefit the surrounding creatures. Shouting excited.

However, the Indians use the Ganges much more than that, from washing their faces and brushing their teeth, to bathing and laundry, and even to excreting waste, factory wastewater, etc., all of which are discharged into the Ganges.

We all know that domestic and industrial wastewater can be extremely destructive to water sources, and countless factories along the Ganges River in India have been discharging sewage into the river without treatment, and such uncontrolled behavior has caused pollution of the Ganges.

At the same time, the majority of the people in India are religious, and believers account for 83% of the total population, and they believe that the Ganges, as a holy river, can purify the body and soul, and regard drinking the holy water of the Ganges and bathing in it as a very important and lifelong necessity.

Because of this, many people will bathe in the Ganges while the river water, even ignoring the people who defecate in the Ganges.

In addition, Indians would burn corpses on the banks of the Ganges River, and then throw all the remnants of the urns into the river, and some even threw the corpses into the river without incineration. These believers believed that they would only be perfect if they drank the water of the Ganges while they were alive and buried in the Ganges when they died. There are many other reasons why it is strange to seep and hold, in short, the Ganges water is very dirty.

In the eyes of Hindus, the Ganges is the embodiment of the purifying goddess Hengga, and the water in the Ganges is the holiest water on earth. Every year, a large number of pilgrims come here to perform their major religious ceremonies in the waters of the Ganges. He even committed suicide in the waters of the Ganges River in order to wash away the sins and injustices of this world.

As a result, corpses sometimes float on the Ganges. After the body is recovered and cremated, the ashes are sprinkled in the Ganges River in accordance with the deceased's will. Year after year, the Ganges River became one of the most polluted rivers in India.

But the Hindus still go their own way, they bathe and drink here, but they rarely get poisoned or sick. Is it true that the water of the Ganges has some kind of self-purifying power because of its sacredness?

It's an unsolved mystery! ok？！Scientists don't know, why do you ask?
