Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh
Chaturthi is one of the most popular festivals of Hindu. This is the
birthday of Lord Ganesha. It is the day most sacred to Lord Ganesha. It
falls on the 4th day of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada
(August-September). It is observed throughout India, as well as by
devoted Hindus in all parts of the world.
Clay
figures of the Deity are made and after being worshipped for two days,
or in some cases ten days, they are thrown into water.
Lord
Ganesha is the elephant-headed God. He is worshipped first in any
prayers. His Names are repeated first before any auspicious work is
begun, before any kind of worship is begun.
He
is the Lord of power and wisdom. He is the eldest son of Lord Shiva and
the elder brother of Skanda or Kartikeya. He is the energy of Lord
Shiva and so He is called the son of Shankar and Umadevi. By worshipping
Lord Ganesha mothers hope to earn for their sons the sterling virtues
of Ganesha.
One
of the most popular Gods in India, lord Ganesh or Ganpati is considered
a symbol of wisdom and a bringer of good luck. It is said that his
elephant head epitomises everything related to wisdom-small shrewd eyes,
long ears that miss nothing, a long nose that can smell out anything
fight and his vehicle, a mouse, reflects how much importance a wise man
gives to the smallest of life forms.
જ્યાં જ્યાં વસે ગુજરાતીઓ, ત્યાં ત્યાં વસે એક ગુજરાત"
આપણે દુનિયા ના કોઈ પણ ખૂણે રહીયે પણ આપણી સંસ્કૃતિ, તહેવારો, રીવાજ,રીતભાત નથી ભૂલતા.
જો તમે ગુજરાતી છો અને ગુજરાતી ભાષા પ્રત્યે કઈક અલગ યોગદાન આપવા માંગતા
હો તો ચાલો આપડે બધા ભેગા મળીને એક ગુજરાતીઓ નો મોટો પરીવાર બનાવીયે અને
આપણી માત્રુભાષાને વિશ્વ સુધી પહોંચાડીયે..!!
તમારા મિત્રો ને પણ આપણા પરીવારમા જોડાવાનુ કહો અને અહી આપણા પરીવારના વિચારો તમારા મિત્રો સાથે પણ સેર કરો..!
ફેસબુક પર ગુજરાતી સંસ્કૃતિ તથા રીતરિવાજ, તહેવારો ની મજા ફેક્બુક પર માણતા રહો,
આભાર.

Before 1893, Ganesh Chaturthi used to be an important family
festival during the Peshwa rule in Maharashtra, but that year, Indian
freedom fighter and social reformer Lokmanya Tilak transformed the
annual festival into a large, well-organized public event.
Tilak recognized the wide appeal of the deity Ganesh as “the god for
everybody”, and popularized Ganesh Chaturthi as a national festival in
order “to bridge the gap between Brahmins and ‘non-Brahmins’ and find a
context in which to build a new grassroots unity between them”, and
generate nationalistic fervor among people in Maharashtra against the
British colonial rule.
Tilak encouraged installation of large public images of Ganesh in
pavilions, and also established the practice of submerging in rivers,
sea, or other pools of water all public images of the deity on the tenth
day after Ganesh Chaturthi.
Under Tilak’s encouragement, the festival facilitated community
participation and involvement in the form of intellectual discourses,
poetry recitals, performances of plays, musical concerts, and folk
dances. It served as a meeting ground for people of all castes and
communities in times when, in order to exercise control over the
population, the British discouraged social and political gatherings.
