Translation
Salutations to you, O Lord Ganesha, born of Parvati, the daughter of the Mountain King,
Glory, glory, all glory to you O Lord Ganesha You bestow vision on the blind, chastened bodies on the leprous, sons on barren women and wealth on the impecunious.
Glory, glory, all glory to you O Lord Ganesha People offer you betel leaves, blossoms, dry fruits and laddus, while throngs of saints and seers attend you.
Glory, glory, all glory to you O Lord Ganesha.
Ganesh Chauth is celebrated on the birthday of Lord Shree Ganesh on the fourth day from new moon (Sud) in the lunar month of Bhadarvo. Lord Ganesh is the God of wisdom and prosperity and is invoked before the beginning of any auspicious work by the Hindus. It is believed that for the fulfillment of one's desires, his blessing is absolutely necessary.
He 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.
Shown at gateways and on doors, either by visuals or symbols, generally facing the rising sun in the east, Ganesh is revered across
Swami Sivananda’s message on Ganesh Chaturthi:
On the Ganesh Chaturthi day, meditate on the stories connected with Lord Ganesh early in the morning.
Then, after taking a bath, go to the temple and do the prayers of Lord Ganesh. Offer Him some coconut and sweet pudding. Pray with faith and devotion that He may remove all the obstacles that you experience on the spiritual path.
Worship Him at home, too. Have an image of Lord Ganesh in your house. Feel His Presence in it.
Take fresh spiritual resolves and pray to Lord Ganesh for inner spiritual strength to attain success in all your undertakings.
Ganesh Chaturthi
Mahendra Lalji,
Ganesh Chaturthi is an occasion or a day on which Lord Ganesha makes his presence on earth for all his devotees. The lord of good fortune, Lord Ganesha is thus considered the master of intellect and wisdom.
(I surrender myself to You, Lord of the hosts)
Every element of the body of Ganesha has its own value and its own significance:
The elephant head indicates fidelity, intelligence and discriminative power;
The fact that he has a single tusk (the other being broken off) indicates Ganesha’s ability to overcome all forms of dualism;
The wide ears denote wisdom, ability to listen to people who seek help and to reflect on spiritual truths. They signify the importance of listening in order to assimilate ideas. Ears are used to gain knowledge. The large ears indicate that when God is known, all knowledge is known;
The curved trunk indicates the intellectual potentialities which manifest themselves in the faculty of discrimination between real and unreal;
On the forehead, the Trishula (weapon of Shiva, similar to Trident) is depicted, symbolising time (past, present and future) and Ganesha's mastery over it;
Ganesha’s pot belly contains infinite universes. It signifies the bounty of nature and equanimity, the ability of Ganesha to swallow the sorrows of the Universe and protect the world;
The position of his legs (one resting on the ground and one raised) indicate the importance of living and participating in the material world as well as in the spiritual world, the ability to live in the world without being of the world.
The four arms of Ganesha represent the four inner attributes of the subtle body, that is: mind (Manas), intellect (Buddhi), ego (Ahamkara), and conditioned conscience (Chitta). Lord Ganesha represents the pure consciousness - the Atman - which enables these four attributes to function in us;
The hand waving an axe, is a symbol of the retrenchment of all desires, bearers of pain and suffering. With this axe Ganesha can both strike and repel obstacles. The axe is also to prod man to the path of righteousness and truth;
The second hand holds a whip, symbol of the force that ties the devout person to the eternal beatitude of God. The whip conveys that worldly attachments and desires should be rid of;
The third hand, turned towards the devotee, is in a pose of blessing, refuge and protection (abhaya);
The fourth hand holds a lotus flower (padma), and it symbolizes the highest goal of human evolution, the sweetness of the realised inner self.
