The Flowing Love: River Ganges’ Eternal Embrace
ByPublisher Description
Embark on a Poetic Pilgrimage Along India's Sacred Soul
More than a river, the Ganga is a living goddess, a celestial thread weaving through the heart of Indian civilization. She is the purifying Maa Ganga, descended from the heavens to cleanse and bless the mortal world. Flowing Love is not merely a collection of poems; it is a heartfelt offering, a journey in verse that seeks to capture the profound spiritual and mythological essence of this eternal river.
This collection of 100 poems breathes life into the sacred legends—from her divine descent through Lord Shiva's matted locks to her serene flow through the ancient ghats of Varanasi. Each verse is a petal cast upon her waters, exploring the deep parallels between her endless current and the human experience of love: the passionate torrent of monsoon devotion, the serene depth of unwavering commitment, and the selfless flow of spiritual surrender.
From her Himalayan source at Gangotri to her vast embrace with the Bay of Bengal, Flowing Love is a lyrical tribute to the faith, folklore, and timeless power of India's most sacred river. It is an invitation to see Maa Ganga not just as a body of water, but as the ultimate symbol of boundless, flowing love.

About Arundhati Sharma
Arundhati Sharma is a poet and storyteller deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of Indian culture. Born and raised in the spiritual shadow of the Himalayas, she developed an early and abiding connection with the myths and traditions that form the conscience of the nation. Her writing is a bridge between the ancient and the contemporary, giving voice to the timeless stories carried on the wind and water of her homeland.
A holder of a Master's degree in English Literature, with a focus on Indian mythological poetry, Arundhati's work is characterized by its deep reverence for nature (Prakriti) and its ability to find the divine in the everyday. Her poems have been celebrated in literary journals for their authentic voice and have earned her accolades for contributing to the modern renaissance of Indian English poetry.
When she is not writing, Arundhati is a dedicated practitioner of yoga and meditation, often drawing inspiration from these disciplines. She finds her greatest joy in walking along riverbanks and listening to the stories of her elders. Flowing Love is her debut collection, a lifelong dream realized—a heartfelt offering to Maa Ganga and an invitation for readers to rediscover the sacred love that flows through India's soul.
