Today is the appearance day of Ganga-devi, Ganga-dashahara. On this day, Gurudeva would narrate pastimes about Ganga and Gangamata Gosvamini. Gangamata Gosvamini was a beautiful girl in East Bengal formerly named Shachi-devi, and she was the daughter of the King of Putiya. From the beginning of her life she heard about Lord Krishna and from that time onward she gave her entire heart to Him. (Note: She is a different personality to the mother of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu) When
