Mysterious Ways of Goddess Ganga

The Mahabharata tells us the story of Ganga and her husband Shantanu - she was his gorgeous wife with whom the king lived a serene life. But she kept drowning their sons in the river as soon as they were born, as Shantanu watched in horror. But why did his wife kill all their children?
