Quotes on Yamuna River
"According to the Varaha Purana, as quoted
by Srila Jiva Gosvami, there is no difference between the water of the Ganges
and the Yamuna, but when the water of the Ganges is sanctified one hundred
times, it is called the Yamuna. Similarly, it is said in the scriptures that
one thousand names of Vishnu are equal to one name of Rama, and three names of
Lord Rama are equal to one name of Krishan." - Srimad Bhagavatam.
" There are many devotees in Vrindavana who regularly bathe in the Yamuna, and this cleanses all the contamination of the material world." - Srimad Bhagavatam.

Yamuna Pushkaralu 2014
Yamuna
River Pushkarams will start on 19th June 2014 and concludes on 30th June 2014.Yamuna Pushkaralu begins at the time when Brishpati
enters into Karkataka Rashi.
Yamuna is a sacred river and the main tributary of the Ganges
(Ganga). According to the ancient Indian scriptures Yamuna was the daughter of
the Sun God called Surya, sister of Yama (the God of death). bathing in its
sacred waters frees one from the torments of death. River Yamuna is deeply
connected with the Lord Krishna's birth. After his birth his father Vashudeva
crossed the River Yamuna carrying him in the bucket. When Lord Krishna fell
into the water, Yamuna once again became sanctified with the dust of his lotus
feet. The river worshipped as a Hindu goddess called Yamuna.
Pushkaram is a Sanskrit word meaning "the one who
purifies". Pushkaram is the time during which the rivers are worshipped.In
india there are many holy days among them Pushmaram is considered to be very
sacred as the rivers in India are equivalent to goddesses. It is celebrated for
12 sacred rivers which represent 12 zodiac signs according to Hindu mythology
and it comes once in 12 years.
A holy dip taken in the waters of the rivers during Pushkaram will wash away all our sins. This is a very strong belief in Hinduism.
