BIRTH DAY GREETINGS TO LORD GANESH
VINAYAK CHATHURTHI GREETINGS
The birth day of Lord Ganesh is known as
Vinayak Chathurthi or Ganesh Chathurthi. Vinayak Chathurthi is one of the most
important festival of Hindus.
At Mount Kailash, Goddess Parvathi prepares
for bath and asks Nandi to prohibit the entry of others while she takes bath. But Lord Shiva wants to meet Goddess Parvathi
urgently and Nandi allowed Lord Shiva to go inside and hence Goddess Parvathi
gets angry against Nandi as loyal to Lord Shiva and not loyal to Goddess
parvathi and ignores the request from Parvathi.
While taking bath, Goddess Parvathi takes
turmeric paste (used for bathing) from her body and gave breathing life into it
and created Lord Ganesh and declared to be her own loyal son.
The next time Goddess Parvathi ordered Lord
Ganesh not to allow any body at the time of bathing and hence Lord Ganesh doing
duty loyally at the entrance.
Lord Shiva came to home and found Lord
Ganesh who told Lord Shiva could not enter into his own house. Lord Shiva got angry on the boy and ordered
Shiva’s army to destroy the boy but in vain because Lord Ganesh created by
Goddess Parvathi.
Lord Shiva got angry and started to fight
with the boy and the boy was killed by Lord Shiva. Hence Goddess Parvathi gets angry and decided
to destroy the entire creations of the Universe. To please Goddess Parvathi, Lord Shiva requests
Lord Brahma to bring the head which was thrown away at the time of battle. Lord
Brahma brings an elephant’s head which was laying facing North and Lord Shiva
placed the elephant’s head near Ganesha’s body and gave new life and Lord Shiva
declared Ganesha to be his own son and ordered to be worshipped before all the
other Gods as promised to Goddess Parvathi.
The very first organ transplant surgery was
done by Lord Shiva to Lord Ganesh successfully.
Once upon a time there was a demon called
Analasuran who wants to control all Gods. The demon’s roar was very aggressive.
The demon’s eyes will release fire flames forcefully at the time of battle.
Hence all Gods requested Lord Ganesh to save them from demon.
Lord Ganesh battled with demon Alanasuran
and won the battle and killed Analasuran. But the fire flames forcefully released
from the eyes of the demon increased the temperature of Lord Ganesh’s body and
Lord Ganesh felt unwell.
To control the body temperature all Gods
applied Sandal Paste on the body of Lord Ganesh.
Lord Chandran i.e. Moon God sat on the head
of Lord Ganesh to reduce the temperature.
Lord Vishnu gave lotus from him and asked
Lord Ganesh to sat on lotus.
Lord Shiva gave the Snake from his head to
reduce the temperature of Lord Ganesh.
Lord Varun i.e. Rain God gave rain on
Ganesh’s body to reduce the temperature.
All efforts taken by all Gods not reduced
the temperature of Lord Ganesh.
When the efforts taken by all Gods to
reduce the temperature of Lord Ganesh, the Sages requested all Gods to give permission
to them to give herbal treatment to Lord Ganesh to reduce the temperature and
all Gods accepted the sages’ request.
All sages brought grass garland and wear
the same around Lord Ganesh’s neck. The
sages also requested Lord Ganesh to sleep on Grass bed. Within a fraction of minutes, Lord Ganesh’s
body temperature came to normal level and felt well.
In modern days we create Eco Parks with
Grass which will reduce the temperature of atmosphere and gives cool climate.
For the above reason we take grass garland
to Ganesh Temple for prayer purpose.
Lord Ganesh is very simple and just grass
garland is enough to perform prayer and no necessity of costly flower garlands for
Lord Ganesh’s prayer.
Lord Ganesh is the God of good beginnings,
prosperity and obstacle remover. Lord Ganesh will be the first God in each and
every auspicious ceremonies performed.
Lord Ganesh temple will be available below
the banyan tree which exhales more oxygen which will be very useful for human
breathing. Visiting and praying Lord
Ganesh below the banyan tree will give good health condition to all.
