In Hindu philosophy, water represents life, purity, fertility, and the flow of prana (life force). Being immersed in water can symbolize being immersed in life, the cosmos, or the divine essence.

There are numerous legends where deities and heroes interact with water bodies, and many rivers like the Ganges, Yamuna, Saraswati, Godavari, and Kaveri are considered sacred in Hinduism.

So try going for a fresh-water swim as a means of spiritual purification. If possible, try doing so in a lake, natural river, stream, or spring.
