Rivers Worship Across Cultures and a Book on Indian Health
The article surveys river deities in Africa and India, noting Bosum ra and Ganga as sacred, with Ganga described as Himalayan daughter. It covers pilgrimages to the Ganges, rituals for sin atonement, and water’s divinity among Neilgherry tribes. It recounts Indian childrearing practices at length from George Catlin, and includes Sir Robert Ball's reflections on life beyond Earth and Mars signaling. Lake Erie’s bad reputation is briefly mentioned due to its shallowness and quick warming waters.
