GANESHA CHATURTHI 2023

19 September 2023, 07:00 CEST

THE REMOVER OF OBSTACLES

Ganesha Chaturthi marks the Appearance Day of Lord Ganesha. Lord Ganesha is the elephant-headed god also known as the granter of success and remover of obstacles (that’s why we always honour him with our first prayer before conducting any other worship rituals). He is the Lord of the Mind and represents intelligence and wisdom.

DID YOU KNOW?

Goddess Parvati, the wife of Lord Shiva, once fashioned a son out of tumeric paste and breathed life into him. She gave him strict orders to not let anyone disturb Her while She was bathing. Unaware of this fact, Lord Shiva decapitated the boy in a battle when Ganesha refused to let Shiva enter His own home. Parvati was so upset She threatened to destroy the material creation and unless Shiva brought Her son back to life. Due to the urgency of the situation, Shiva took the head of the first animal He found. As a result, the child was given the head of an elephant and a second chance for life.

Ganesha is the Lord of the mind. Unless that mind is tamed and controlled, you will never be able to really feel love.
