HOLY RIVER MATA CAUVERY

INTRODUCTION
Kaveri or Cauvery is the holy river which flows
through the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
Mata Kaveri is considered sacred by the people of
South India and they are worshipping her as River
goddess. Kaveri is considered similar to River
Ganga with regard to her Sanctity. She was the
daughter of Lord Brahma and created for a special
purpose to give prosperity to the people in the
earth.
Once there lived a great King who was known as
Kavera, and he performed severe penance on
Lord Shiva, in order to get a noble child. Pleased
by his sincere devotion, Shiva blessed him with a
noble daughter and the king named her as Kaveri
and got married her to Sage Agastya, and she was
also known as Lopamudra. One day, Sage
Agastya turned her in the form of water and put
her in his holy pot, and went for bathing in a river
by leaving the holy pot in the banks of the river.
Meanwhile, Lord Ganesa took the form of a crow
and pushed the Holy pot. The water was released
from the pot, and Kaveri became a river. Lord
Ganesa had done this, in order to help the people
to quench their thirst, and due to that Mata
Cauvery is providing water for us. River Cauvery is
considered as an AMSA of Mata Lopamudra, wife
of the great sage Agastya.
Let us worship the holy river Cauvery and be
blessed.
