Answer 1

1. I don't believe in God. So I am unable to give you a perfect answer. Because every person is not fully satisfied with God.
2. Nonsense question it is related to ancient myths, there is only one God, and the only God, he is the creator of everything , nothing likes him, and it is not possible to us to understand fully his mind,to replace him, it is a red line.But we can study the nature for a good life , certain level of science is available for us to do that.
3. He did penance for a thousand years (according to god timeline) on the advice of his guru Trithala, to please Ganga, to gain the release his 60,000 great-uncles from the curse of saint Kapila. ... He then did severe penance for Shiva and asked him to do so.
4. Bhagiratha pleaded with Lord Shiva to help him and Shiva agreed to receive Ganga in his matted locks. Ganga was arrogant and tried to drown Shiva by pushing him to the core of the earth, but the mighty Shiva easily held her in his locks. Shiva's tie was so strong that Ganga became helpless.
