They go to the river for purification...they have been doing it for over 2200 yrs in a row ... maybe longer . You know the psalm " gather at the river " ? They invented it . One sees God in the Universe , and eventually one sees God beyond it . Just like from elementary sciences you first study you see & learn the overview basic disciplines , and later on , when your ready you see the physics underlying those other realities . More and more is known. Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism deal more with what is known to a person , depending on that level of developement and state his soul is in . You can see as much directly proportionate to your preparations , devotion and personal sacrifices . One finally see's the play of the world within himself and there lies the source of all that obscures his view. You know the ones: the hatreds , lust , jealousies , the laziness , covetnous , the "puffing " up , and fear. The first and most important Law , God gave was ----> Ahimsa or non-harming of other sentient creatures. That is an ancient law , the first. Are they sure about the ritual of bathing as a divine means of purification ? As much or more than as any in Islam going round the Ka'ba. Or any Jew in Synagogue or Christian in their church singing psalms . a lovely ritual , really ...I can think of none finer. hope they are doing it for millineums to come . ;-)
