The river Ganges which has its source in the 'sacred' Kailas (Himalayas) flows down the Gangetic plain for out 1500 miles and falls into the Bay of Bengal. It is in flood throughout the summer months when the snow on the Himalayas melt. Since it is a fast-flowing it's water is always muddy. During my long stay in Bengal I bathed in this only once. It became my first and last bath in that because of a shocking experience I had on that occasion As I lifted my head out of the water after a long immersion my head came in contact with a white and object. It turned out to be a highly decomposed dismembered human hand, partially eaten away by fish made me sick, and I had to go without food for a couple of days.
Though prohibited by law at present, during the of my youth it was the usual practice among the Hindus of North India to ceremoniously deposit the dead bodies of their dear ones into the 'sacred' waters of this holy river. By this they insured 'moksha' for their departed souls. Those who lived far away from this river had to be satisfied by throwing the ashes into it after cremation More than half a century ago one could see at any numerous floating carcasses flowing down this river in various stages of decomposition. Thousands of dead bodies were dumped into this so-called sacred river every day at hundreds of cities, towns and villages along the banks of this banks of this long river. Yet, millions of pilgrims from all over India purify' themselves by not only bathing in it, but al by drinking the polluted water. I have seen devotees pushing away carcasses which come their way and continue their ablutions. They were brainwashed from childhood into the belief that ;in spite of the presence of decomposing carcasses in it, the water of the Ganges is pure and 'sacred'.
As a result of the abhorrence after my first nauseous experience in this 'holy' river, I decided not to take even a drop of water from it to my good neighbours. Since Behanan and I were reluctant to disappoint them, we decided to substitute some good well water for the Ganges water..
We use.1 to entrust the two bottles of " theertham" to our devoted Christian mother. With pride and pleasure she used to distribute the " theertham" to our " Nair " neighbours according to their needs. Till the death of our beloved mother in 1942 she was not told the real truth about the " theertham" .During the first two days of our arrival home, our neighbours used to flow in to greet us and to get their share of the sacred water.
Next mid-summer too the same fraud was repeated with all solemnity. Thus, for four consecutive years we continued to cheat our Christian mother and the Hindu neighbours with the 'Kottarakkara Railway Station water and every holiday we had to give patient hearing to numerous accounts of miraculous cures effected by the previous year s supply.
Puthur Raman Nair had this to say: "During the two years we had no need to seek medical help. My mother had a severe attack of diarrhoea last April. I just gave her a spoonful of honey with two drops of " theertham " in it. That was all. Within three hours she was perfectly cured.
Kilannaparampil Lakshmi Amma said, "Every time my daughter got cold or fever, a single drop of the " theertham " gave her perfect relief. I was subject to severe migraine since I had a miscarriage three years ago. Now when I get any symptom of the headache coming on, I simply apply a drop of the " theertham " on my forehead, and it stops with that. Even if it comes, the pain is only very slight.
Vettvelil Parukutty who had two difficult and complicated child-births when she gave birth to her first two children, had a very easy one it home when her third child was born. All what she did at the third time was to take two drops of the " theertham" immediately when labour pain started.
Oliprakkatu Narayana Kuruppu proved the miraculous power of the " theertham" by an experimental research . He had two grafted mango trees in his garden. Both were of the same stock and of the same age. During the dry season he watered the two trees. Once he added a few drops of the " theertham" to the water he poured for one of the trees. When the flowering season arrived, the tree which got a dose of the " theertham" flowered, while the other tree produced only a crop of tender leaves.
Chankroth Patchu Pillai immunised all the members of his family by pouring spoonful of the " theertham " in the family well. Since taking this precaution not a single member the Chankroth family fell ill.
There were numerous similar stories of miracles narrated by our neighbours who came to repeat their request for a further supply.
