Ganesh Chaturthi How to perform online booking

About Ganesha:Vigneshwara, one of the popular deities worshipped by members of most Indian religions. Ganapathy is also the God of Knowledge and is invoked at the commencement of any function. Lord Ganesha is the god that protects his devotees from any obstacles (vighnam). Hence the name Vighneswara.  Ganapathy is said to have had two spouses. Buddhi (intellect) and Siddhi (achievement). Thus Lord Ganesha is the master of knowledge and achievement. Probably, a combination of Sidhhi and Vinayak have given Mumbai's most famous Ganesh temple the name of Siddhivinayak. His parents were Siva and Parvati.


Legend has it that Ganapathy himself wrote the Mahabharata, to the dictation of Guru Veda Vyasa. Lord Ganesha is also considered the most intelligent. A challenge was thrown to brothers Ganapathy and Karthikeya by Sage Narada. The challenge was whoever went around the globe first would have the fruit first. Karthikeya went around the world which took quite some time while Ganapathy went round his parents thrice and claimed the fruit. The logic Lord Ganesha gave was that since his parents represented the universe Lord Ganesha had gone round them.


The Lord has four hands. In one hand Lord Ganesha has a rope while in another Lord Ganesha has an axe. With the axe Lord Ganesha cuts off the attachment of his devotees to the world of plurality and thus end all the sorrows that go with it. The rope is used to pull the devotee close and closer to the Truth. In a third hand Lord Ganesha holds a rice ball that represents the joys of Sadhana. With the other hand Lord Ganesha blesses his devotees and protects them from obstacles that they may encounter on their Spiritual path of seeking the Supreme.

We invoke You, O Ganapati of the ganas (Lord Shiva attendants), Who are Brahmana-spati of the brahmas (prayers), the wisest among the wise, Who abound in treasure beyond all measure, the most brilliant one. Do listen to our prayers, come with Your blessings and assurances of protection into our home, and be seated. (Rig Veda 2.23.1)
Sit down among the worshippers, O Ganapati, the best sage among the sages. Without You nothing can be done here or far. Accept with honor, O wealthy One, our great and variegated hymns of praise. (Rig Veda 10.112.9)
