Join us in celebrating the auspicious occasion of Gaṇeśa Caturthī
Gaṇeśa Caturthī or Vinayaka Caturthī, the birthday of Lord Gaṇeśa, is one of the most popular Hindu festivals celebrated throughout India and by Hindu around the world.
Gaṇeśa (also known as Gaṇapati, Vinayaka and Pillaiyar etc) is the Lord of Good Fortune who provides prosperity, fortune and success. He is the Lord of Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles of both material and spiritual kinds.
Gaṇeśa, in fact, is the symbol of he who has discovered the Divinity within himself. Gaṇeśa a is the first sound, OM, in which all hymns were born. When Śakti (Energy) and Śiva (Matter) meet, both Sound (Gaṇeśa a) and Light (Skanda) were born.
He represents the perfect equilibrium between force and kindness and between power and beauty. He also symbolizes the discriminative capacities which provide the ability to perceive distinctions between truth and illusion, the real and the unreal.
