Sri Ganga Stotram, as a "Hymn to Mother Ganges," has a humble, simple appearance, but it would take a lifetime of study and deep reflection to realise the stupendous effulgence of the Divine theme dealt with in these 125 verses, arranged in five sections of 25 verses each.

A life-long devotee of Mother Ganga, Swami Tapovanam refused to move away from Her enthralling banks, and ever remained near Her, either at Uttarkasi, or a Gangotri or at Rishikesh. Such an ardent devotee of Ganga himself, when he took his pen in hand to revel in Her fabulous religious beauty and spiritual significance, he produced this Hmyn, soaked in Vedanta, and yet filled with devotion.
