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 one’s relatives, friends (who have bhakti

in the Lord).

Duration - start to aaratii - 2 hours

Total duration - start to finish - 3 to 3.5 hours

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.)

41 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 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 Hindus .\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"
