Today, the festival of Ganga Dussehra is being celebrated on Thursday, 5 June 2025 of Jyeshtha Shukla Paksha. On this occasion, people bathe in the holy Ganges river. It is believed that 10 types of sins are destroyed by bathing on this day and the paths of salvation are opened.

On this day, thousands of people reach the Ganga Ghat from Brahma Muhurta to bathe. But for some reason you are unable to bathe on the Ganges Ghat, then you do not need to be disappointed at all. Because by taking some measures, you can get virtue like Ganga bath at home too.

Those who cannot bathe on the Ganges Ghat, they can take a Mansi bath i.e. mental bath. This is a type of spiritual process, so that not only the body of the person but also the soul and the mind are purified. Older, sick, physically disabled or people who cannot go to Ganga Ghat, they can take a Mansi bath.

There is a saying that ‘the mind is healed to the Ganges’. Just like this, if your mind is pure, then the Ganges can also come in your hatred. If you cannot go to bathe on the Ganges Ghat, then today on the day of Ganga Dussehra, you can take a bath by mixing some Ganga water in bathing water and considering this water as Ganga water. This also gives a virtue like bathing Ganga.

To take a bath in the Ganges at home, mix Ganga water in water and make the first manifestation and remember the mother Gange in the mind and apologize for not going to the Ganges Ghat and taking a bath in the mind that you are bathing in the Ganges Ghat itself.

After bathing, offer arghya to the Sun God, worship and do charity. Also, at home in the evening on Ganga Dussehra, you can get the blessings of Mokshadayini by performing the Aarti of Mother Ganga.
