Songs Of The River: Ganga | Ep. 06 - A New Beginning

Episode 06 brings our journey to an end. The feeling of finally reaching Gangasagar cannot be put into words.

A very big thank you to my entire team without whom this would have never been possible. Each and every one of you have been an integral and essential part of making this project a success.

Second, to Mohit Chauhan, Maati Baani, Taba Chake, Bombay Jayashri, Sid Sriram, Ambi Subramaniam and Kaushiki Chakravarty, for trusting me and joining me on this mad adventure.

And lastly, to all you viewers for being a part of my journey and discovering the Ganga and it's people through my eyes.

Dream big, dream the impossible, and they will come true. Songs of the River was once deemed an impossibility. Yet, here I am, sharing the final episode. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to this journey.

Thank you.

নিজের জায়গা দেখলে সত্যিই মন খারাপ করে। আমি আবার ছোটবেলায় যেতে চাই। চন্দননগর ফিরে যেতে চাই। এতো ভালো লাগলো ভিডিও টা দেখে 🙏🙏🙏

Shantanu Da, Pranam. Yesterday I wrote to you about how your 2 songs by Mohit Chauhan Sir and Jayshree Madam did what I was struggling with for 3 years. Due to COVID psychological fear, personal loss, and acute OCD problems resisted me constantly even climbing 11 stairs to my terrace.
When I explored these songs with your videos, I was just listening to them flowing through the tears of Hope.
The day I decided to claim up was reciting in the same tone that Jayshree Madam was singing Trayambake Yajamaahe, I started this journey and completed it. Maybe for others, it will be nothing but for me, those 11 stairs and your song meant a life to me. My soulful gratitude to Jayshree Madam, Mohit Chauhan Sir.
Keep blessing lives through your music.
Regards, Indranil Sen

[CycoholicDev]

Thank You Shantanu for this wonderful documentry of your journey. I am a cyclist and it's fascinating me a lot. When I saw one of your reel in Instagram I searched your channel and started to watch this. It gives me a lots of hope and inspiration. I have never been able return anything to this world but after watching this film my mind gradually changing and I also want to give something to the world. I love every rhythm, every beat and every music which you have been used to potray the mother Ganga. Thanks to Mrs. Basabi Pal, Head of French Dept. From her got the knowledge why was Chandannagar named?
Thank You and Your Team

[virenpsingh]

I traveled with Shantanu on this Yatra, by proxy. I think many thousand others also traveled with him, spiritually and emotionally. I salute Shantanu for his courage, humanity and music. We need may more Sings of the River. Godspeed.

Beautifully picturised the journey from Hrishikesh to Gangasagar. I watched every episode from 1 to 6 & enjoyed every bit of it. I felt something spiritual in it. Thank you Shantanu for your great effort.

[samratg]

When I started watching this series, I had the memories of my father who passed away on the 15th April 2023... And now a year later my mom is at the same hospital declared as "very critical"... The docs are trying and my mind is still so hopeful...as I have heard "miracles" do happen in our respective walks of our "Anant Yatra"...


Thank you so very much Shantanu da & Team & family ..for this wonderful initiative, the beautiful storytelling.

Jai Maa Ganga

[arpanmitra]

First a big CONGRATULATIONS for completing the epic journey. It's not fame and money but one's commitment to life is important and dear Shantanu you have done that.
I was bit of saddened by the accident in your last lap but you and the whole team showed how to deal with adversity in adventure. Thankyou very much for Gangotri to Gangasagar journey
