Undoubtedly, Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most eagerly awaited auspicious festivals celebrated by the Hindus. Ganesh Chaturthi is a propitious 10-days festival that marks the birth of the divine Lord Ganesha. This festival is celebrated with great fanfare and enthusiasm.
Lord Ganesha is invoked before the commence of anything significant, and for this reason, he is called the Lord of Beginnings. He is considered as the supreme deity among Gods, and all rituals begin with Ganesha’s worship. He is also known as Vighnaharta, or remover of obstacles. It is believed that once Lord Shiva wasn’t able to defeat the demon Tripurasura because he had not prayed to Lord Ganesha before embarking on his mission to kill Tripurasura. He realised this and prayed to Ganesha and went on to fight Tripurasura. The Puranas state that by worshipping Ganesha, one can reduce the malefic effects of Saturn and other Graha Doshas. Praying to Lord Ganesha on Wednesdays brings success, happiness, prosperity and also removes the obstacles in one’s path.
In the morning, take a bath and clean Ganesha Yantra with salt or lemon, and then place the Yantra facing the East or the North in a clean space. Light a diya, candle, or an incense stick in front of the yantra. You can also offer fruits, flowers, roli, camphor, and modak and perform Lord Ganesha’s aarti. In the end, chant Om Gan Ganpathaye Namah 108 times.
