Where exactly is Saraswati River as per the mythology? I’ve read about the three rivers- Ganga, Yamuna & Saraswati merging in the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj. But recently I came across an article which described the supposed geographical location of Saraswati River. It mentions that the river started in Himachal Pradesh & crossed Haryana & finally through Rajasthan. According to this, the route of River Saraswati doesn’t pass through the Triveni Sangam. Do we have any other description about the river which can negate this claim? 4 1 replies

If past life exist why we don't remember? > Because you cannot handle those memories This is an usual answer but it doesn't explain why I don't have those memories even though they are easy for me to handle. I am free from my thoughts and emotions so having emotions and thoughts of past life wouldn't bother me at all. I am confident that nothing can sway my peace other than my own choice. I even believe that I can maintain peace while being burnt alive. Although my body would react due to subconscious memories and instincts... 3 4 replies
