    Procedure

    Ganesha or Ganapati is an extremely popular God in India. He is called

    Vighneshvara or Vighnaharta, the Lord of and destroyer of obstacles.

    People mostly worship Him asking for siddhi, success in undertakings, and

    buddhi, intelligence. He is worshipped before any venture is started. He is

    also the God of education, knowledge and wisdom, literature, and the fine

    arts.

    This puja is commonly performed on Ganesh Chaturthi day ie. 4th day of

    bright half of moon in bhaadrapada month. Puja is done where possible at

    morning (6AM or earlier) and at noon. The puja at night is visarjana puja

    where lord is kept for one day ( unless the vigraha / idol is kept for more

    than one day).

    The previous night, one should think of the Lord Ganesha and mentally

    decide to perform pujaa the next day. This is the sankalpa. On the day of the

    Puja, keep the same thoughts of worshipping the Lord and take a head-bath

    (if possible an oil-bath), early in the morning. Have some soothing Indian

    Music (Shehnai or sa.ntuur or sitaar or naadasvaram - preferably any

    instrumental) going on in the background till the puujaa begins. The music

    should be pleasing (not too loud) for creating a serene mood.

    (Of course people should be internally peaceful also!)

    Wash Kalasha and fill it with clean water upto 3/4 of it. Cover and place it

    near the altar. Decorate the front door, altar and the place near the altar.

    Keep all the things for pujaa ready, near the altar.

    Observe Fast (if possible). Invite ones relatives, friends (who have bhakti

    in the Lord).

    Duration - start to aaratii - 2 hours

    Total duration - start to finish - 3 to 3.5 hours

    At the regular altar

    | | || | | || || -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At the altar . . . (Sip one spoon of water after each of the above 3 mantras.

    Take a little water from the vessel for worship with an offering

    spoon onto the palm and sip it. This is called achaman.. Just as

    bathing causes external purification, partaking water in this

    way is responsible for internal purification. This act is

    repeated thrice. Thus physical, psychological and spiritual,

    internal purification is brought about.)

    . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    . . || -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (Due to pranayam, the rajas component decreases

    and the sattva component increases.)

    (Apply water to eyes and understand that you are of

    the nature of Brahman)

    (Holding unbroken consecrated rice (akshata) and an offering

    spoon (pali) with water in the cup of ones hand one should

    chant the mantra with the resolve, I of the .....lineage (gotra),

    ..... am performing the .... ritual to obtain the benefit according

    to the Shrutis, Smrutis and Puranas in order to acquire ....

    result and then should offer the water from the hand into the

    circular, shelving metal dish (tamhan). Offering the water into

    the circular, shelving dish signifies the completion of an act.)

    Katha The Lord of Success The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha has an elephantine countenance with a curved trunk and big ears, and a huge pot-bellied body of a human being. He is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth. In fact, Ganesha is one of the five prime Hindu deities (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Durga being the other four) whose idolatry is glorified as the panchayatana puja. Significance of the Ganesha Form Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul, which is the ultimate supreme reality of human existence, and his human body signifies Maya or the earthly existence of human beings. The elephant head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents OM, the sound symbol of cosmic reality. In his upper right hand Ganesha holds a goad, which helps him propel mankind forward on the eternal path and remove obstacles from the way. The noose in Ganesha's left hand is a gentle implement to capture all difficulties. The broken tusk that Ganesha holds like a pen in his lower right hand is a symbol of sacrifice, which he broke for writing the

  • http://www.mantraaonline.com/ Shri Ganesha Puja 21 | P a g e

    Mahabharata. The rosary in his other hand suggests that the pursuit of knowledge should be continuous. The laddoo (sweet) he holds in his trunk indicates that one must discover the sweetness of the Atman. His fan-like ears convey that he is all ears to our petition. The snake that runs round his waist represents energy in all forms. And he is humble enough to ride the lowest of creatures, a mouse. How Ganesha Got His Head The story of the birth of Ganesha, as depicted in the Shiva Purana, goes like this: Once goddess Parvati, while bathing, created a boy out of the dirt of her body and assigned him the task of guarding the entrance to her bathroom. When Shiva, her husband returned, he was surprised to find a stranger denying him access, and struck off the boy's head in rage. Parvati broke down in utter grief and to soothe her, Shiva sent out his squad (gana) to fetch the head of any sleeping being who was facing the north. The company found a sleeping elephant and brought back its severed head, which was then attached to the body of the boy. Shiva restored its life and made him the leader (pati) of his troops. Hence his name 'Ganapati'. Shiva also bestowed a boon that people would worship him and invoke his name before undertaking any venture. However, there's another less popular story of his origin, found in the Brahma Vaivarta

    Purana: Shiva asked Parvati to observe the punyaka vrata for a year to appease Vishnu in order to have a son. When a son was born to her, all the Gods and Godesses assembled to rejoice on its birth. Lord Shani, the son of Surya (Sun-God), was also present but he refused to look at the infant. Perturbed at this behaviour, Parvati asked him the reason, and Shani replied that his looking at baby would harm the newborn. However, on Parvati's insistence when Shani eyed the baby, the child's head was severed instantly. All the gods started to bemoan, whereupon Vishnu hurried to the bank of river Pushpabhadra and brought back the head of a young elephant, and joined it to the baby's body, thus reviving it. Ganesha, the Destroyer of Pride Ganesha is also the destroyer of vanity, selfishness and pride. He is the personification of material universe in all its various magnificent manifestations. "All Hindus worship Ganesha regardless of their sectarian belief," "He is both the beginning of the religion and the meeting ground for all Hindus1." | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 (Source: http://www.about.com/)
