Ganesh
Chaturthi - Lord Ganesh ·
Ganesh
Chaturthi is the birthday of Lord Ganesh on Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturti; the day
is especially sacred to Lord Ganesha. The worship of Ganesha continues till
Ananta Chaturdasi (Bhadrapada Shukla 14th). The festivities continue for full
ten days. Thereafter the highly decorated image made of clay, is carried in big
processions and immersed in sea, river or well. · During
one of his birthdays, His mother, Shakti Parvati, cooked for Him twenty-one
types of delicious food and a lot of sweet DUMPLINGS. · Ganesha
ate so much that even His big belly could not contain it. Mounting His little
mouse, he embarked on His nightly rounds. · The
moon hid himself behind the clouds, immediately Ganesha pronounced a curse on
Him saying, "Let no one look at your face on my birthday." · The
seven lokas above, seven lokas below and seven oceans are inside the cosmic
belly of Ganesha, held together by the cosmic energy kundalini symbolized as a
huge snake which Ganesha ties around Him. · The
mouse is nothing but our ego. Ganesha, using the mouse as a vehicle, exemplifies
the need to control our ego. One who has controlled the ego has Ganesha
consciousness or God-consciousness. · Ganesha
is the God who can protect His devotees from any vigna or obstacle, and hence
the name vigneshwara. He is also known as Ganapati, the head of the Ganas. · He
is the God of Knowledge and is invoked at the beginning of any religious
function, be it a marriage or the teaching of alphabets to a child or the
festival in a temple. It is believed that for the fulfillment of one's desires,
His blessing is absolutely necessary. He
is pure Consciousness and Liberates devotee’s karma. He is extolled as one
who brings well being to the entire Universe; destroying all evil forces
ever effulgent and who manifest the different Divinities. The
god with the elephant head is the second son of Shiva (known as the Destroyer in
the Trimurti, Shiva or Shankarji) and Parvati (in southern India he is regarded
as the first son). He
was born on Shukla Paksha Chouth in the month of Bhadran (which falls in
September of the European calendar) and is known as Ganesh Chaturthi. Ganesh
is the god of wisdom, riches, strength, illumination and prudence. God, man and
animal blend in him in a
very profound and perfect manner. Ganesh or Ganapati literally means 'lord of
the ganas'. Ganas are a large body of followers and attendants of Shiva. They
are called inferior deities or demigods. Ganesh is their special commander. |
