The
festivals
in
Hinduism
commemorate
the
spiritual
wisdom
that
lie
beneath
the
festivities
that
go
with
them.
When
a
true
aspirant
dives
deep
into
the
truth
of
a
festival,
the
pearls
of
wisdom
break
forth
from
the
oyster
of
his
own
being
thus
leading
him
to
enlightenment.
Ganesha
Chaturthi
Ganesha
Chaturthi
marks
the
birth
of
Lord
Ganesha.
It
falls
on
the
4th
day
of
the
bright
fortnight
of
Bhadrapada
(August-September).
Special
worship
is
performed
on
the
day
for
Lord
Ganesha
at
home
as
well
as
in
the
temples.
Modak
and
other
special
dishes
are
offered
to
the
Lord
on
that
day.
People
visit
the
temples
or
offer
worship
to
the
Ganesha
idol
at
home.
The
worship
continues
for
two
days
or
extends
to
ten
days
at
the
culmination
of
which
the
idol
is
immersed
in
a
water
body.
This
depicts
the
commencement
of
man's
spiritual
journey
with
a
form
to
its
culmination
in
formlessness.
The
Birth
Of
Lord
Ganesha
Ganesh
Chaturthi
is
one
of
the
major
festivals
of
Hinduism
that
celebrates
the
birth
of
Lord
Ganesha.
As
per
the
legend,
Goddess
Parvati
while
having
her
bath,
created
Ganesha
from
the
mud
of
her
body.
He
thus
emerged
pure
and
white
and
was
asked
to
wait
at
the
entrance
of
to
deny
trespassing.
Lord
Shiva
was
denied
entry
by
Ganesha
in
reponse
to
His
mother's
command.
The
furious
Lord
cut
the
head
of
Ganesha.
Lord
Shiva
hence
to
appease
the
anguish
of
Parvati,
ordered
His
servants
to
fetch
the
head
of
any
creature
that
they
encountered
first
in
this
mission,
sleeping
with
its
head
facing
North.
A
head
of
an
elephant
was
thus
attached
to
the
body
of
Ganesha,
and
Lord
Shiva
gave
life
to
the
glorious
form
that
we
one
and
all
adore
and
worship.
He
further
proclaimed
that
Lord
Ganesha
would
be
the
first
to
be
worshipped
on
all
occassions.
The
order
of
Lord
Shiva
is
still
put
into
practise
to
this
day.
Ganesha
In
Hinduism
Lord
Ganesha
is
the
eldest
son
of
Lord
Shiva
and
Parvathi
and
the
brother
of
Karthikeya.
In
Tamil
He
is
addressed
as
'Mudhanmai
Kadaval',
'the
Lord
who
is
the
first
and
foremost'.
Worship
to
Shiva
or
Vishnu
is
offered
only
after
having
offered
worship
Lord
Ganesha.
Lord
Ganesha
is
believed
to
be
the
remover
of
obstacles,
be
it
spiritual
or
material.
Hence
any
worship
or
sacrifice
commences
with
the
prayer
to
Him.
Lord
Ganesha
represents
the
Om
symbol
of
the
Hinduism.
The
Om
is
uttered
before
the
utterance
of
all
mantras
explaining
the
involvement
of
His
worship
at
the
beginning
of
any
worship
or
rite.
In tune with the ordinance of Lord Shiva that Ganesha should be worshipped first, He is easily accessible to one and all. He is found in a consecrated temple as well as under a tree in remote villages of India. He also assumes a form instantly at the hands of a devotee who moulds Him with a handful of turmeric powder with water or by the last means with cow dung at a poor man's house. He gets elated with even the least object of worship like grass (usually 'Arugampul' or Bermuda grass involved in His worship). He is the Lord of wisdom.
