Shri Gangaji evolved from
the lotus feet of Shri Bhagavan. Shri Gangaji became holy and pious due to
merging with Shri Yamunaji at Triveni Sangam. Shri Yamunaji made Shri Gangaji
capable of giving all achievements Sakal Siddhi to the serving devotees. Only
Shri Laxmiji is equal and comparable to Shri Yamunaji-but on a lesser degree. I

and who is also favorite (Hari Priya) to Shri Krishna, come and stayput in my
heart and soul forever.

O! Shri Yamunaji, you are
like Shri Laxmiji, who has good fortune. But no one is capable of praising you,
because any one serving God first and then Shri Laxmiji gets all happiness

Here Shri Maha Prabhuji explains the exaltation of soul just by bathing in the
waters of shri yamunaji which becomes pious daily by the “Ras-Lila of Lord with
the vraj-bhakts”. By serving Shri Yamunaji we get blessing from her, which is
helpful in exalting our soul and making pious. As we wash our body from outside
to make it look pretty, we need to have blessings in form of Shri Yamunaji’s
river water to wash our soul and body from within. Due to her blessings our mind
and thoughts becomes favorable to serve Shri Krishna.
