GANPATI BAPPA MORIYA

EKADANTHAAYA VIDHMAHEE

VAAKRATUNDAAYA DHEEMAHI

THANNO DHANTIHIH PRACHODAYAAT

Mumbai, Maharashtra:- It is late into the night and spilling over to early in the morning.Lord Ganesha of all sizes, colours and hues are on their way to the homes of Mumbaikarsand to the many parts of Maharashtra. It is the fourth day of the month of Bhadrapad in theHindi calendar. The anniversary of the birth day of lord Ganesh - the most beloved of thethousands of Hindu gods.

The streets are reverberating to the blaring sounds of 'Nashikwala' bands. Gyrating to thewild sounds are ladies and children, boys and men. The poor outsmarts the rich who carrytheir Ganapathy Bappa in the comforts of a/c cars. The celebrations are subdued andis a ritual done for them. But for the masses it is all the way the YEAR'S CELEBRATION.All outbound trains, buses and roads are jammed choke a block with the GaneshChathurthi travelers. For most from the Konkan belt this is an YEARLY sojourn which is amust.

Perhaps the great visionaries of the past knew the value of roots and found thesetraditions and celebrations an effective way to maintain the sense ofbelonging to the migrating masses.

The week long festivities mark the beginning of celebrations in the city.

Every year the festival concludes with the devotional and emotional biding adieu-Ganapathy Bappa Moriya..Pudhchya varshi laukariya'.



Ganesha Festival in Full Swing in Mumbai -

Sreedhar C.P

MUMBAI, INDIA, September 15, 2007: Millions of people here are celebrating the

Ganapati festival, a 10-day event beginning today that will see groups across the city

vying to create the most colorful and attractive marquees. At least 8,000 to 9,000 Ganesha

Mandals (a temporary temple build on the sidewalk) have been formed in the city and on

the final day of festivities, the Deities of the elephant-headed god will be taken in a large

procession for immersion in rivers in keeping with traditional rituals. The local Mandals

vying with each other to put up the big Deities, are in no mood to deviate from the

traditional public celebration of installing 20-30 feet high Deities.

Police have tightened security ahead of the festival but nothing will dampen the

celebratory mood for the remaining denizens of Mumbai. The festival begins with the

installation of Deities by households and by the Mandals. According to Maharashtrian

almanacs, there is no specif ic muhurat (auspicious time) for the ritual, and the installation

can be done at any time during the day. The household Ganesha can be immersed even

after one-and-half days -- which suits the hectic life-style of Mumbai -- but the

Sarvanjanik Ganesh Mandals (community Ganeshas) will be on exhibit for 10 days.

The Sarvajaneek Ganeshotsav Samanvay (Coordination) Committee has around 8,500

mandals as its constituents. Prominent among these are Lalbagcha Raja Mandal, GSB

Seva Mandal, Keshavji Naik Chawl Mandal in Girgaum, Andhericha Raja Mandal in

Andheri and Sahyadri Krida Mandal in Tilaknagar. Lalbagcha Raja, in Lower Parel in

central Mumbai, is the the most popular Ganapati as devotees believe it fulfills their

wishes. Last year, it drew one million visitors every day, the Mandal claims. Naik Chawl

Ganapati was the one where Lokmanya Tilak started the community Ganesha festival.

Thoughts on Ganesh Chathurthi Indu ([email protected])

Courtesy Shri Shakun Narain

Thought One

Lord Ganesh was born on the 4th day of the bright fortnight of the month of 'Magh'. 'Chatur' means4. He controls the 8 directions of the Cosmos. 'Gana' means to count. The science of Astrology isdependant on numbers. Hence Lord Ganesh is the Master of Astrology. No wonder that oneworships Lord Ganesh before embarking on anything auspicious. Those who would like to fast onGanesh Chaturthi, start their series of fasting as of today.

Lord Ganesh's big ears denote that He can hear and understand Vedantic Truth. His big headreminds us that we are Spiritual Creatures so we must 'Think Big'. His small mouth denotes thatHe talks less. (So must we: Talk less and Listen more) His small eyes urge us to 'focus'. The longtrunk of an elephant has the quality of being able to uproot a tree, and at the same time pick up atiny needle from a haystack. This is again a quality attributed to the Lord, as we believe that inspite of His great power, the tiniest creature does not pass unnoticed by Him. The mouse thoughsmall can play havoc. Ganeshji has him under His control. Lord Ganesh's large belly denotesprosperity and that He digests all the good and bad in the world. The planet Mars and Ganpati areconsidered to have the same complexion. On Ganesh Chaturthi frequencies from Mars andGanesh reach the Earth.

Ganeshji holds in His 4 hands: An axe to cut off evil and worldly attachments.

A Rope pulls His disciples closer to the Spiritual Path.

The Rosary beads remind one to continuosly strive towards the Real Knowledge.

The last hand is held up in a posture of blessing.

May Lord Ganesh bestow His Grace upon all of you today.

Thought Two



So people will once again be bringing 'Lord Ganpati' into their homes. They will be performingprayers and entertaining Him for a few days and then they will bid Him farewell with a request toreturn next year!

This wonderful custom was popularized by Lokmanya Balgangadhar Tilak to bring together the'Hindustanis' during the British rule. Originally worshipping Lord Ganesha was a family affair. Wetclay was fashioned into a symbolic Ganesha form, placed on the left palm and worshipped withthe chanting of mantras, followed by the rituals. The idol was the immersed in the well or a pond. Adevout Hindu believes that what came from the earth should return there. Ganpati is supposed to smash, with the help of His trunk, all the obstacles that come in the path ofHis devotees. When an elephant moves through the forest, his massive body clears the way forothers who follow. If the trunk of 'Ganesha' is curved to the right He is called 'Sidhi Vinayaka' andrequires special worship.

So let us worship Him again this year. Let us bring Him, not only into our homes, but into ourhearts and keep Him there. The idol we may do 'visarjan' (immersion) of, and together with it, ournegative tendencies.

Thought Three

Those conversant with Yoga would know that the 'Kundalini Shakti' or primordial energy, rises in azigzag manner through the Spinal chord, culminating in the third eye, which resides in between theeye-brows. When the trunk of Ganeshji is facing straight forward, it signifies that the passage,though the Spinal chord, or 'Sushumna' is entirely open. When the trunk of Ganeshji is swung rightin the air, it means that the 'Kundalini Shakti' has reached the Sahasraar' or the Region of the thirdeye, permanently.

When Ganeshji's trunk is curved to the right. He is called Siddhi Vinaayak. The left side, represents the Moon. The right side represents the Sun. Hence if the Trunk of onesGaneshji leans towards the Right, It would require special worship, as the 'Sun' would burn one ifrules are violated.

Another explanation: According to Hindu texts there are three channels or naadis that areresponsible for overall health. The left channel is called the Ida Naadi and is connected to the right side and the back of thebrain. This naadi looks after our emotional side. The right side channel is called the Pingala naadi. It crosses the Ida naadi at the third eye or theAgna Chakra. Pingala is connected with the left side and the front of the brain. It is the Superconscious mind. The central channel is called the Sushumna. This channel helps us integrate and helps in ourSpiritual Evolution.

During earlier times, Ganpati was a tribal God, Guardian of the forests. He was, in fact believed tobe a creator of obstacles, by whose Grace one could survive in the treacherous jungles. Thisworld is no less than a jungle, where we constantly require His Grace to survive. He foreverprotects us. His Big ears hear our tiniest complaint. His Big Belly, remind us that He is Prosperity



Itself, and He owns all that we might require. His trunk has the capacity to uproot a tree and to pickup a needle from a hay-stack. He is all powerful, yet He sits on a humble mouse to remind us thathowever powerful He may be is forever present on Earth, a humble planet, in the vast Universe.

Thought Four

In the case of Aum What looks like 3 is the 'a' sound in Sanskrit, the tail or trunk is the 'u' soundand the dot on the half moon is the nasal sound Together it says 'Aum' Aum is also a visual, and ifyou care to interpret it in the following way, it looks like a Ganpati. The lower part of the 3 is thebelly,and the 'u' is the trunk, with a tika on top. 21 Durva blades are offered to Ganpatiji. It is believed that Ganpatiji is formed from No 3. 2+1=32+1 is 21 9 is a complete and powerful number. The devout who believe in the power of number 9 visit 108Ganpatijis during these auspicious days.

Once again it is that time of year when the devout invite Lord Ganpati to their home and entertainhim, with so much love!

Thought Five

People often say that God is Just and Merciful. If one analyses the two adjectives, one will realise that if one relies onjustice, one cannot always be merciful and if one shows Mercy, oneprobably cannot exercise proper justice. The theory of karma is based on justice. Forgiveness is agift of Mercy.

The Lord Ganpati, is being revered across India, for the present 10 days as a great clearer ofobstacles. He is considered a symbol of wisdom and a bringer of good luck. He is believed to be avery powerful positive force in the Universe. It is said that Ganpati was born when Shivji andMother Parvati contemplated on 'OM'

There was once a competition in Heaven as to who would circle the Universe first. While the othergods went in different directions, Ganpati circled round His parents. Some believe that because ofGanpati's example, we hindus revere our parents always. Therefore we need not celebrateMother's and Father's day , only on a particular day each year. So let us call upon Ganpati to enterinto our lives and affairs, and not leave our hearts even though we bid adieu to Him at the end ofthe 10 day celebration.

Thought Six

On the Maha-visarjan-day, The grandest (in stature) of Ganpatis will be returned to the elements(Water). They have been feasted in a grand manner fit for gods, and now it is time to chant:

Ganpati Baba Morya!Pudcha varshi laukarya!

Which means: O Ganpati Return soon, next year !



Lord Ganesha

Balagopal Ramakrishnan

According to the Indian Convention, Ganesh is the prime most deity whom everyone of usmust worship first since He is the reliever of obstacles, giver of wisdom and all boons andfinally bestows liberation on all those who seek His Grace, and thus cuts asunder theworldly bondage.

Indians firmly believe that no success can be achieved without first paying obeisance toLord Ganesh. So those who aspire worldly and spiritual success in their life should firststart their prayers to Lord Ganesh. Adoration of Vinaayaka as Prathama Vandhana (FirstDeity to be saluted) has been mentioned in the Vedas. Reference to Him is made in theGayathri also. He is one who instills purity in body, and fearlessness in the mind. It is said"Thanno Dhanthih Prachodayaath" giving importance to his tusk. He rides on a smallMuushika (mouse). Muushika is symbolic of the darkness of ignorance, while Ganeshasignifies the effulgence of Wisdom that dispels the darkness of ignorance.

He is also affectionately known by many other names like Vinaayaka, Heramba,Siddhivinayaka, Gajamukha, Vigneshvara, Lambodhara,Gajanana, Ganpathi etc.

What does the term Ganapathi signify? 'Ga' means Buddhi (Intellect). 'Na' mean Vijnana(Wisdom ). 'Ganapthi' means one who is the Lord of the intellect and wisdom. He is alsothe Lord of all Ganas (spiritual entities). Ganas also symbolise the senses. Ganapathi isthus the Lord of the senses.

It is only when the man is pure that the intelligence blossoms. It is only with theblossoming of intelligence that Siddhi (the spiritual goal) is attained. Vinayak presidesover the the Buddhi and Siddhi (the intellect and the spiritual realisation). The scriptuessay that Siddhi and Buddhi are the consorts of Vinaayaka and Kshema and Anandha arehis two sons. Siddhi and Buddhi symbolises the powers of attraction of Ganapthi.

Vinayaaka is known for his supreme intelligence. He has the head of an elephant. Theelephant is also known for its high intelligence. The elephant will not trust anybody exceptits master. Because Vinaayaka is endowed with exceptional intelligence, his elephant faceis symbolic of supreme intelligence. Vinayaaka also mean that He is the one who has nomaster above Him. He is the supreme master. He is beyond the mindless state. One whohas stilled the mind cannot have any master.



He is also called Lambodhara which means Guardian of Wealth - Lakshmi Svaruupa. Herelakshmi represents all wealth and prosperity and not only Dhanam (money) for which thereis a separate deity called Dhanalakshmi. Here wealth means Sukha and Anandha (pleasureand bliss). What is the use of having all things when there is no pleasure and bliss?

Vinaayaka is also called Vigneshvara as He removes all obstacles coming in the way ofdevotees who pray to Him sincerely. Only Vinaayaka teaches the lessons that areessential for mankind. One should not stop with installing the idol and doing pujas for afew days. One should make efforts to become a Naayaka or Master over onself bypractising the nine-fold path of devotion.

He broke his tusk to use it as a pen when He was writing the Mahaabhaaratha to thedictation of Sage Vyaasa. He is a shining example of the spirit of sacrifice that Heexhibited for the welfare of the humanity. That is why he is called Ekadhantha or onewith single tusk.

Another well known Ganpathi Mantra is illustrated below:

VAKRA TUNDA MAHAAKAYAA SURYA KOTISHA SAMAPRABHA

NIRVIGHNAM KURU ME DEVA

SARVAKAARYESHU SARVADAA

Vakra tunda Twisted trunk Mahakaaya Huge, mighty body Suryakoti Equivalent to lustre of crores of Sun samaprabha i.e the effulgence of his intelligenceoutshines crores of Suns Deva Oh, Lord Sarva Kaaryeshu Always and in all works (action) Nirvighnam Kurume Remove all the obstacle

Oh, Lord, with a twisted trunk and a huge might body,who lustre is equivalent to that of a crores of Suns,(whose intelligence always outshines crores of Suns) Ipray to thee, O lord, always remove all obstacles fromthe good actions I perform.

His head symbolizes great wisdom, while his shrewd eyes and large ears signify thatnothing escapes his scrutiny. His four arms show that he is a master of arts and crafts,while the faithful mouse that carries him everywhere shows how he pays attention even tothe smallest of forms of life!

At times, Ganesh has also been popular in other cultures, not just within the Hindureligious traditions. Ganesh has made his appearances over the years in the traditions ofIran and Afghanistan, in Tibet, Nepal, Burma, Java, Cambodia and Bali, even inChina and Japan.



In India, celebrating Ganesh's birthday first became popular when Chatrapati ShivajiMaharaj founded the Maratha empire

But starting in 1892, Lokmanya Tilak, a famed Indian freedom fighter, used the celebrationto help rekindle the pride of the Indian people and to promote their political unity in thestruggle for independence from Britain. And so the festival grew as India's quest forfreedom grew. And since independence in 1948, the festival has blossomed!

The final night of festivities, when I walked and danced my way down a crowded, narrowstreet in an old fishing village, I was surrounded by families, each bringing their statue ofGanesh to the sea.

They had saved money, perhaps all year long, in order to buy their Ganesh statue. In a tripto one of Ganesha's temples, they had carefully picked out just the right Ganesh statue.From a foot to twenty feet tall. Made of Styrofoam or perhaps clay. But no matter what,brightly colored! Red. Orange.

And you see, this is a celebration for all - the rich and the poor. And to see the pride of apoor family who had given everything they had to buy a tiny Ganesh in order to bring hopeto their coming year was incredibly touching! Much more so than the ostentatious show arich family might make with their huge Ganesh statue.

Each family then hosted an ongoing open house in their home for up to 10 nights. Friendsand neighbors had brought gifts of sweets like coconut, jaggery, modaks and Hibiscusflowers to Ganesh. And they had shared those sweet gifts with everyone else! I had evenbeen the awed recipient of such sweets when I visited a Ganesh temple that is out in a bayof the Arabian Sea. As I sat watching family after family bring gifts to the Ganesh statuesitting humbly on his raised platform in the bay, I too was invited to share in thegifts, enjoying the sweet candies served on a coconut shell.

Then, on that final day of celebration, each family's Ganesh had been brought to life as thepriest, dressed in a red dhoti and shawl, chanted the traditional mantras.

Then, late in the afternoon, the family had placed their Ganesh upon a cart and begun thelong trek to the sea. They were accompanied by drummers and perhaps a keyboard playerrepeating raga melodic scale patterns as they all danced in celebration.

Or, those 20 feet tall Ganeshas had their trail to the sea cleared as they rested on the backof a flat bed truck. With a transfer to a barge for the final steps!

Upon their arrival at the sea (or the nearest pond or river), perhaps twelve hours later,Ganesh is immersed in the life giving waters. To fireworks and the emotional chanting of

18. he lokaaSrunuta prasoothimaraNavyaadheH chiktsaam imam

Hark! All of you listen to this treatment to the disease called birth and death. Which is extolled by the sages

like Yajnavalkya.. It is the nectar called Krishna , which is the inner light of all, the one and only and of

immeasurable merit which when drunk as the supreme medicine bestows the ultimate realization, moksha.

There are two kinds of disease, namely, vyaaDhi, of the body and aaDhi, of the mind. This sloka gives the

remedy for the first while the next , for the second. The diseases of the body which undergoes six kinds of

changes namely., jaayathe, takes birth, asthi, exists, viparinamathe, changes, vardhathe grows,

apaksheeyathe, declines and vinasyathe, perishes, -are removed when the embodiment itself is no more.

That is there is no more births and subsequently deaths. This is achieved by the elixir called Krishna.

19. yo marthyaaH paramam hitham sruNuta yo vakshyaami samkshepathaH

samsaaraarNavam aapadhoormi bahulam samyak praviSya sThithaah

naanaajnaanam apaasya chetasi namo naaraayanaayethyamum

manthram sapraNavam praNaamasahitham praavarthayaDhvam muhuH

Oh mortals, who are deeply immersed in the ocean with waves of calamities called samsara, , listen to my

brief instruction of your supreme good. Throw out all other knowledge from your mind and chant again and

again the manthra ‘namo naarayaNaaya,’ with the omkaara, accompanied with your prostration.

According to Bhagavatha purana, the singing of His names alone will lead to salvation in kaliyuga, ‘kalou

namasankirthanam’ and one need not perform the more difficult acts like yajna, thapas, etc. While it is easy

to do it is also the most effective because it is rarely done in the kaliyaga. This is what is referred to by the

words ’naanaajnaanam apaasya,’ give up all other knowledge about the means of salvation.

The calamities mentioned here, aapadh oormi are the waves of mental turbulences, the symptoms of

aaDhi that abound the sea of samsara. The moola mantra is given by the azvar like Ramanuja did with the

welfare of the mankind in mind. The manthra’namo naaraayaNaaya ‘with praNava means ‘Om namo

naaraayaNaaya,’ which the azvar says in this manner because the moola manthra should not be said

casually.
