Quick Question

Hi guys!
I watch DKDM regularly and it's an amazing show!
I have a question that I have always wondered about I was hoping you guys could help me out
I'm a Sikh so I don't know much about Hinduism, I am not meaning to be offensive or anything but could anyone tell me what "Ganpati Bapa Moreaya" means?
I love the religious song about Ganesh Ji in Agneepath, so I was just wondering what it means.

Doubts & Discussion Thread

Ask all your questions.. regarding the show..

Devotees chant Ganapati Bappa Morya all the time to sing the praises of Lord Ganesh. But how many of them know what the word Morya signify? The word Morya refers to a famous devotee of Lord Ganesh in the fourteenth century called Morya Gosavi, from Chinchvad, near Pune who invoked the Lord with severe penance.

He attained siddhi (special powers and blessings) at Shree Chintamani and his son built the temple to commemorate the event.It is said that Moryaji also performed penances at Siddhi Vinayak in Ahmedabad and in Moreshwar/Mayureshwar at Moregoan where he also built the temple. Thus this depicts the inseparable relationship between God and his devotee."

"Many sages like tukaram maharaj and others have endorsed Moraya Gosavi as one who merged with Ganapati.

For rationalists, it will be hard to believe but for devotees, praying to Moraya Gosavi means praying to Lord Ganesh!"

"Ganapati (Sanskrit: ga?apati), a synonym for Ganesha, is a compound composed of ga?a, meaning "group", and pati, meaning "ruler" or "lord"."

Bappa: father / Lord

"All join in this final procession shouting "Ganapathi Bappa Morya, Purchya Varshi Laukar ya" (O father Ganesha, come again speedily next year). "

"Morya Gosavi was a 14th century saint of the Ganapatya sect. He was a great devotee of Ganesha. He was originally from a village called Shaligram in Karnataka. He built the Mayureshwar temple at Morgaon, near Pune. The starting of the Ashtavinayak pilgrimage is attributed to him. The words Ganapati Bappa Morya are attributed to him. He was a contemporary of Chattrapati Shahu Maharaj and Peshwa Balaji Vishwanath Bhatt. He took sanjeevan samadhi at Chinchwad, Pune."

"Mangalmurti : 'Man' means complete and glu-gayate means the one endowing Serenity or purity. That which purifies both internally as well as externally is auspicious (mangal). An image bringing auspiciousness is thus Mangalmurti. In Maharashtra 'Mangalmurti morya' is used to proclaim Ganapati's glory. The word morya in it refers to a famous devotee of Lord Ganesh in the fourteenth century called Morya Gosavi, from Chinchvad, near Pune. This depicts the inseparable relationship between God and a devotee."
