Hello all😳 i am excited for the Ganesh Chaturti this year,

So i thought of making a GOTW on Ganpati.
You can post
# Any unheard stories of Lord Ganesha
#108 Names of Ganesha (No matter how many u know)
#Any memorable Ganesh Chaturti experience.

LET ME START
I came across this information
Importance of Chaturthi
Lord Vishnu's Ekadashi, Lord Shivashankar's Shivratri, like this Shri Ganesha's Chaturthi is observed by his devotees. This Chaturthi is very dear to Shri Ganesh.

Ganapati Atharvashirsha describes this Chaturthi as 'Chaturthyamanshnan Japati'. Chaturthi means fourth stage.

Ganapati is beyond three stages of human body i.e. awakened stage, dreaming stage & a middle stage between these two stages. When Ganesh is in his Turia means fourth stage, one can have his darshan.

As such Chaturthi has special importance.Sankashti Chaturthi
This vow is done by devotees on fourth day of second fortnight of every month. On this day devotees fast for whole day & break their fast after having darshan of Lord moon & worshipping Lord Ganesha.

This vow is observed strictly by devotees to get rid of problems in there life.

On this day in the evening after having bath first, worship Lord Ganesh, offer 21 Durvas, do Aarti, show Naivedyam & pray for fulfilling your desires. Then have Lord moon's darshan, offer him Naivedyam, give meal to Brahman & break your fast.In this way if vow is observed all your desires are fulfilled.

Vinayaki Chartuhi

Fourth day in the first fortnight of every month is called as Vinayaki Chaturthi. This vow is to be observed for full day.

Angariki Charturthi

If Sankashti Chaturthi comes on Tuesday, it is called Angarika. THe vow is completed on the same day. Devotees have their meal in the night after having darshan of lord moon.

i think its in bhrama vahitra purana ,that once devi parvati was feeding balganesh with her milk ...so ganesh feeled contented and pretend to move away ...but when he saw karthkey approaching his mother feeling hungry ...
Lord ganesh stayed there for a long time consuming all the milk himself ...

After knowing his uncanny intentions to irritate karthikey ...Lord shiv called him Lambodara (the one with large belly )...as a result Karthikey left the place with much aghast and agony (poor boy 🤣).
i personally like this story and his name lambodara very much 😆

My last year Ganesh Chaturti experience as it takes hardly 2 hours to beach we give the idol to a mediator and he transfers to beach. As it was raining my mom immersed the idol in a bucket and Ganpati Visarjan happened naturally.After that mom poured water on a tree. That was the first time i saw Bucket Ki Ganpati Visarjan.

Sri Gananatha Sindoora Varna (O Lord of Ganas, who has a reddish complexion)
Karuna sagara Kari Vadana (He is an ocean of compassion and has an elephant face)

Lambodara Lakumikara (He is known as Lambodara and bestows all auspiciousness)
Ambasuta Amara Vinuta (He is the son of Amba ans is worshipped by all the Devas)

Sidha Charana Gana Sevitha (He is worshipped by Siddhas and Ganas)
Sidhi Vinayaka - tey Namo namo (He bestows all siddhis- to Him our pranams)

Sakala Vidyadi Pujita (He is praised by all branches of learning)
Sarvottama -tey Namo namo (He is the foremost and the best- to him our pranams)

For students of Carnatic Music this is the first song taught to them as they begin their musical journey.

Shri Ganesh aarati
Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh Deva
Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva.

Glory to You, O Lord Ganesha!
Born of Parvati, daughter of the Himalayas, and the great Shiva.

Ek dant dayavant, char bhuja dhari
Mathe par tilak sohe, muse ki savari
Pan chadhe, phul chadhe, aur chadhe meva
Ladduan ka bhog lage, sant kare seva.

O Lord of compassion, You bear a single tusk, four arms,
A vermilion mark of on your forehead, and ride on a mouse.
People offer you betel leaves, blossoms, fruits
And sweets, while saints and seers worship You.

Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh Deva,
Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva...

Glory to You, O Lord Ganesha!
Born of Parvati, daughter of the Himalayas, and the great Shiva.

Andhan ko ankh det, kodhin ko kaya
Banjhan ko putra det, nirdhan ko maya
Surya shaam sharan aye, safal kije seva.

You bestow vision on the blind, chastened body on the leprous,
Children to the sterile, and wealth on the destitute.
We pray to Thee day and night, please bestow success upon us.

Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh Deva,
Mata jaki Parvati, Pita Mahadeva...
