Procedure

Ganesha or Ganapati is an extremely popular God in India. He is called

Vighneshvara or Vighnaharta, the Lord of and destroyer of obstacles.
People mostly worship Him asking for siddhi, success in undertakings, and
buddhi, intelligence. He is worshipped before any venture is started. He is
also the God of education, knowledge and wisdom, literature, and the fine
arts.

This puja is commonly performed on Ganesh Chaturthi day ie. 4th day of
bright half of moon in bhaadrapada month. Puja is done where possible at
morning (6AM or earlier) and at noon. The puja at night is visarjana puja
where lord is kept for one day ( unless the vigraha / idol is kept for more
than one day).

The previous night, one should think of the Lord Ganesha and mentally
decide to perform pujaa the next day. This is the sankalpa. On the day of the
Puja, keep the same thoughts of worshipping the Lord and take a head-bath
(if possible an oil-bath), early in the morning. Have some soothing Indian
Music (Shehnai or sa.ntuur or sitaar or naadasvaram - preferably any
instrumental) going on in the background till the puujaa begins. The music
should be pleasing (not too loud) for creating a serene mood.
(Of course people should be internally peaceful also!)

Wash Kalasha and fill it with clean water upto 3/4 of it. Cover and place it
near the altar. Decorate the front door, altar and the place near the altar.
Keep all the things for pujaa ready, near the altar.

Observe Fast (if possible). Invite one’s relatives, friends (who have bhakti
in the Lord).

Duration - start to aaratii - 2 hours

Total duration - start to finish - 3 to 3.5 hours

(Sip one spoon of water after each of the above 3
mantras.
Take a little water from the vessel for worship with
an offering spoon onto the palm and sip it. This is
called achaman.. Just as bathing causes external
purification, partaking water in this way is
responsible for internal purification. This act is
repeated thrice. Thus physical, psychological and
spiritual, internal purification is brought about.)

41 Katha
The Lord of Success
The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha has an
elephantine countenance with a curved trunk and
big ears, and a huge pot-bellied body of a human
being. He is the Lord of success and destroyer of
evils and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the
god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth.
In fact, Ganesha is one of the five prime Hindu
deities (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Durga being the
other four) whose idolatry is glorified as the
panchayatana puja.
Significance of the Ganesha Form
Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul,
which is the ultimate supreme reality of human
existence, and his human body signifies Maya or the
earthly existence of human beings. The elephant
head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents OM,
the sound symbol of cosmic reality. In his upper
right hand Ganesha holds a goad, which helps him
propel mankind forward on the eternal path and
remove obstacles from the way. The noose in
Ganesha's left hand is a gentle implement to capture
all difficulties.
The broken tusk that Ganesha holds like a pen in his
lower right hand is a symbol of sacrifice, which he

http://www.mantraaonline.com/ Shri Ganesha Puja 16 | P a g e

broke for writing the Mahabharata. The rosary in his Ganesha is also the destroyer of vanity, selfishness
other hand suggests that the pursuit of knowledge and pride. He is the personification of material
should be continuous. The laddoo (sweet) he holds universe in all its various magnificent
in his trunk indicates that one must discover the manifestations. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"All Hindus worship
sweetness of the Atman. His fan-like ears convey Ganesha regardless of their sectarian
that he is all ears to our petition. The snake that runs belief,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"He is both the
round his waist represents energy in all forms. And beginning of the religion and the meeting ground
he is humble enough to ride the lowest of creatures, for all Hindus .\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"
a mouse.
How Ganesha Got His Head ōṁ śrī mahā gaṇapatayē namaḥ |
The story of the birth of Ganesha, as depicted in the ōṁ śrī mahā gaṇapatayē namaḥ |
Shiva Purana, goes like this: Once goddess Parvati, ōṁ śrī mahā gaṇapatayē namaḥ |
while bathing, created a boy out of the dirt of her ---------------------------------------------------------------
body and assigned him the task of guarding the
entrance to her bathroom. When Shiva, her husband 42 aṣṭōttara pūjā (chant dhyAna shloka )
returned, he was surprised to find a stranger denying
him access, and struck off the boy's head in rage. ōṁ vakratuṇḍa mahākāya kōṭi sūrya samaprabha |
Parvati broke down in utter grief and to soothe her, nirvighnaṁ kuru mē dēva sarva kāryēṣu sarvadā ||
Shiva sent out his squad (gana) to fetch the head of
any sleeping being who was facing the north. The ōṁ vināyakāya namaḥ |
company found a sleeping elephant and brought ōṁ vighnarājāya namaḥ |
back its severed head, which was then attached to ōṁ gaurīputrāya namaḥ |
the body of the boy. Shiva restored its life and made ōṁ gaṇēśvarāya namaḥ |
him the leader (pati) of his troops. Hence his name ōṁ skandāgrajāya namaḥ |
'Ganapati'. Shiva also bestowed a boon that people ōṁ avyayāya namaḥ |
would worship him and invoke his name before ōṁ pūtāya namaḥ |
undertaking any venture. ōṁ dakṣādhyakṣāya namaḥ |
However, there's another less popular story of his ōṁ dvija priyāya namaḥ |
origin, found in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana: Shiva ōṁ agnigarvacchidē namaḥ |
asked Parvati to observe the punyaka vrata for a ōṁ iṁdraśrīpradāya namaḥ |
year to appease Vishnu in order to have a son. ōṁ vāṇībalapradāya namaḥ |
When a son was born to her, all the Gods and
Godesses assembled to rejoice on its birth. Lord ōṁ sarvasiddhipradāya namaḥ |
Shani, the son of Surya (Sun-God), was also present ōṁ śarvatanayāya namaḥ |
but he refused to look at the infant. Perturbed at this ōṁ śarvarīpriyāya namaḥ |
behaviour, Parvati asked him the reason, and Shani ōṁ sarvātmakāya namaḥ |
replied that his looking at baby would harm the ōṁ sr̥ṣṭikartrē namaḥ |
newborn. However, on Parvati's insistence when ōṁ dēvānikārcitāya namaḥ |
Shani eyed the baby, the child's head was severed ōṁ śivāya namaḥ |
instantly. All the gods started to bemoan, ōṁ śuddhāya namaḥ |
whereupon Vishnu hurried to the bank of river ōṁ buddhipriyāya namaḥ |
Pushpabhadra and brought back the head of a young ōṁ śāṁtāya namaḥ |
elephant, and joined it to the baby's body, thus ōṁ brahmacāriṇē namaḥ |
reviving it. ōṁ gajānanāya namaḥ |
Ganesha, the Destroyer of Pride
