The Glimpse of Shri Ganesh Chaturthi

Vakratunda mahaa kaaya koti Suryasamaprabha, nirvighnam kurumedeva sarva kaaryeshu sarvadaa/

Shri Ganesha with colossal body and elephant head resplendent with the radiance of billion Suns! we beseech you with all humility and devotion to destroy all obstacles and ensure success in our deeds of virtue.

Shrimad Bhagavat Gita states in Sankha Yoga:

Dhyayato vishayaan pumsah sangaste -shuupajaayate, sangaat sanjaayate kaamah kaamaat krodhobhi jaayate, Krodhaat bhavati sammohah sammohaat smriti -bhramshah, smritibhram -shaad buddhinaashah buddhi naashaat pranashyati

“Worldly affairs are the causes of desire; non fulfillment of desires leads to frustration and grief or discontentment; this mental state develops anguish and instability; this anger coupled with wrong judgment affects discretion and further failures. Hence the unique role of Ganesha oppressing the aberrations of human life”

Shri Ganesha Purana is emphatic that Ganesha’s agrapujyata is ‘anivarya’ or a firmly established truism- be it for any kind of deed- be it vidyaarambha-griha pravesha-yaatraa rambha-shtouta- smaartadhaarmika-loukika karyaas; failure to do so by way of Ganesha Smarana-Vandana-Pujana is asking for troubles as history is replete with numberless instances as proven in Purana- Itihaasaas.

🙏

Thanks, Regards.
