Meaning of Ganesh Chaturthi & Celebration Purpose

Ganesh Chaturti, or Vinayakar Chaturthi, popularly known as Ganapati Festival is the birthday of Lord Ganesha. Ganesh Utsav falls on the fourth day of waxing phase of moon (Shukla Paksha) in the Hindu month of Bhadrapad (August-September). This is the popular reason why we celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi and there is also a deeper meaning.

The Supreme Being that the Hindus worship is formless. ‘That’ is present in all living and non-living. The entire energy source arises in ‘That.’ Unfortunately, it is impossible to imagine That or even give a proper definition to it. The Supreme Truth, or Brahman, can only be realized.

Self realization is not that easy and for it one needs tons of patience, devotion, courage and determination. But sadly this is not possible for majority of the human minds that are controlled by the senses. Therefore the Supreme Truth takes a form and arrives among us. And this form is of Lord Ganesha – when you meditate on Him you can listen and see the primordial sound ‘OM.’ The very first spark or energy that is responsible for all that is Here.

His arrival amidst us is observed as Ganesh Chaturti or Vinayakar Chaturthi. He arrives to teach us equality and peaceful coexistence and above all coexistence of human beings with Mother Nature.

After satisfying us by staying amidst us, Ganesha returns to his formless nature.

Ganesha resides in all animate and inanimate. When we realize this all problems are solved. When we realize that everything is Ganesh all jealously vanishes, ego drops, all anger subsides and you only seeing Ganesha everywhere.

English translation of Vande mataram songs

Mother, I bow to thee!
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
bright with orchard gleams,
Cool with thy winds of delight,
Dark fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free.
Glory of moonlight dreams,
Over thy branches and lordly streams,
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease
Laughing low and sweet!
Mother I kiss thy feet,
Speaker sweet and low!
Mother, to thee I bow.
Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands
When the sword flesh out in the seventy million hands
And seventy million voices roar
Thy dreadful name from shore to shore?
With many strengths who art mighty and stored,
To thee I call Mother and Lord!
Though who savest, arise and save!
To her I cry who ever her foeman drove
Back from plain and Sea
And shook herself free.
Thou art wisdom, thou art law,
Thou art heart, our soul, our breath
Though art love divine, the awe
In our hearts that conquers death.
Thine the strength that nervs the arm,
Thine the beauty, thine the charm.
Every image made divine
In our temples is but thine.
Thou art Durga, Lady and Queen,
With her hands that strike and her
swords of sheen,
Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned,
And the Muse a hundred-toned,
Pure and perfect without peer,
Mother lend thine ear,
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
Bright with thy orchard gleems,
Dark of hue O candid-fair
In thy soul, with jewelled hair
And thy glorious smile divine,
Lovilest of all earthly lands,
Showering wealth from well-stored hands!
Mother, mother mine!
Mother sweet, I bow to thee,
Mother great and free!
