Description : This book records the legends behind some of the rivers of India, all of which are not widely known. While reading them as stories, one cannot help feeling the presence of a greater truth behind them. Even though their symbolism is not discussed in this narration for this is meant for young readers - even as stories they immediately expand our perception of the rivers; they bring the heavens and the earth, gods and men, past and present together. The Ganga flowing down from the heavens and resurrecting the dead, at once brings to our mind not only the role of the river as the giver of life, but also the Divine Grace as the conqueror of death. Our forefathers viewed the rivers as compassionate deities. Had we retained that attitude, we would not have dishonoured them through pollution or treated them as mere means for our material comfort. Kaveri was the symbol of sympathy between two kingdoms. Narmada, according to the boon she received, should ever remain free. We should ask ourselves, how far behind we have left the spirit of such significant legends, and if our change of attitude has truly helped us.
