Jai Ganesha! The Tusker Lord is here, and he comes with a lot of pomp and splendour! The streets of Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru and others are filled with excitement!
The chants of Ganpati Bappa Morya will be reverberating for a month as the excitement peaks!
What should we do? Be a little compassionate, allow the elders to stand in front of the pandals and pray for peace, give way for ambulances when the processions reach breaking point, and ensure everyone gets to pray to Bappa, along with you.
What shouldn’t we do? Act like non-believers and believe in the supreme force that aligns us. Even if you belong to a different faith or thought process, the idea of welcoming Bappa into our lives is purely based on community gathering and the feeling of oneness! And most importantly, be a caretaker of peace and a creator of happiness; just the way Bappa would like it!
What’s next? The next few weeks will feature the best time of our lives. There will be sweets to savour, love to be shared, divinity to be experienced and chants to voice.
Bappa remains in our hearts always, however, having him closer than ever makes life so much more peaceful, prosperous and amazing!
Hai Vignaharta, Hai Vinayaka, Hai Sukh Harta, Bless us with your wisdom, shower us with happiness, guide us in the path that gives us hope, and let brilliance rain upon us!
Morya, Morya, Ganpati Bappa Morya!
Jai Ganesha, Jai Ho Bappa Ki!
