CineJosh Wishes a very happy Ganesh Chathurthi!!!

Hyderabad  August 023:-

Ganesh chaturthi is the famous festival celebrates all over the world. Mainly it celebrates very well in India. In AP the largest ganesh idol is at khairatabad. Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated on the birthday of Lord Ganesh, the god of wisdom and prosperity, on the fourth day of waxing of the  moon, or in the new moon in the lunar month of Bhadrapada. The celebration continues for 9 days. It is a week-long festival from August 23 to 30. According to astrologer Avnish Pandey, “Lord Ganesh was incarnated as Gajanan at the noon of Chaturthi of brighter half of Bhadrapada month in Dvapar yuga (era). The Lord was born in Vrishchika lagna (Scorpio ascendant). Six planets were present in their own rashis (zodiacs) at that point. In astrological terms, beheading of the Lord could be explained as an aspect of Chaturthabhavasta Shani (fourth house of Saturn) on lagna (ascendant or the first house). The presence of Mars in the first house and Sun in the tenth house of his horoscope make him Vighnaharta (the remover of hurdles).”

He said, “This year, it is falling on conjunction of Sunday and hasta nakshatra. Therefore, there is Sarvarthasiddhiyoga on that day, that is a person may attain all desired results on the day.” “One should avoid viewing the moon on Ganesh Chaturthi. There is a mythological belief that moon had once mocked at Ganesh when he fell from his rat-driven chariot, which made him angry. As a curse, he took away its shine, making him invisible. Later, on the request of other gods and repentance of moon, he restricted the effect of the curse for a day- the fourth day of brighter half of Bhadrapada. Since then, people avoid viewing it on this day.”

According to the founder member of Sarvajanik Ganeshotsava Samity MB Kurekar, “We would celebrate the 45th year of samiti’s foundation this year. Started by Chhatrapati Shivaji, the great Maratha ruler, to promote culture and nationalism, the festival was revived by Lokmanya Tilak to spread the message of freedom struggle and to defy the British who had banned public assemblies. The festival gave the Indians a feeling of unity and revived their patriotic spirit and faith. This public festival formed a platform for political leaders who delivered speeches to inspire people against the British rule.”
