"When Ganga was brought to Haridwar, then all the Gods asked: โWe wash all sins, but who will wash us?โ Ganga said this to Lord Vishnu: โLord Vishnu Bhagwan, tell us, what should we do?โ Then the Lord said: โAs many sadhus and saints are living in this world, every time they will bathe in Ganga, all your sins will be washed away."
