SHREE GANEESHA on GANESHA CHATURTHI
My family joins me in wishing you and your family a happy SHREE GANESHA CHATURTHI.
This day is auspicious because it is
the birthday of SHREE VIGHNESWARA. He is also lovingly called as SHREE VINAYAKA
and is described as the first deity who should
be worshipped PRATHAMA
VANDANA (प्रथम वन्दना).
VIGHNESWARA is endowed with
every conceivable form of wealth: riches, knowledge, health, bliss, beauty.
VIGHNESWARA is the promoter of all these forms of wealth and removes all
obstacles to their enjoyment. At this juncture, it is important to realize the
meaning of verse 4:23 of SHREEMAD BHAGAVAD GITA
गतसङ्गस्यमुक्तस्यज्ञानावस्थितचेतस:|
यज्ञायाचरत:
कर्म समग्रं प्रविलीयते |
While we should pray for
attainment of wealth, prosperity, and worldly riches it should necessarily be
realized that: "of one which is devoid of attachment, who is liberated,
whose mind is established in Knowledge, who acts for the sake of sacrifice, all
his actions are dissolved". We should act to get all things necessary,
maybe in excess also, but we should not get shackled to the worldly riches and
our mind should be liberated from attachments to these.
