Gangaghat
Bachubhai Bhagat

By nature, Bachubhai was never struggling, but he was firm in
the mind. In the Sangh, small and big shivirs (camps) are very
important; and making arrangements in them is in no way an
easy task. The development that the Sangh has witnessed in
Gujarat so far as the organisation is concerned, was the outcome
of the hard work undertaken by Bachubhai. Even today, the
traditions he founded are continued to be followed; and we find in
them a glimpse of his touch and working style.
Endless faith of Indian culture, that is Ganga Smaran
(remembering Ganga)
Ganga Darshan (witnessing Ganga)…
Ganga Snan (bathing in Ganga)…
Ganga Achaman (sipping from Ganga)…
This is a wish in every Indian’s heart – to sip Ganga water
in the last moment of life.
How intense faith it is!
Ganga is the witness of the rise and fall of our great culture,
of ever development and expansion.
There is nothing new in worshipping or praying to the
Ganga.
But have you ever thought of the Gangaghat, the bank of
Ganga? Have you ever heard of somebody writing about it or
thinking about it?
It does not appear if ever a poet set down to write a poem
on Gangaghat; and if you suppose, the horizon of the thoughts
appears to be spread to the farthest point.
