श्री गणेशाय नमः
वक्रतुंड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ
निर्विघ्नं कुरुमेदेव सर्व कार्येशु सर्वदा
My warm wishes to Ganapati devotees all over the world on the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi. It is this time of the year when i miss Pune badly. The processions of 5 Manache ganpati (first in honor) viz Kasba, Tamdi Jogeshwari, Guruji Talim, Tulshibaug & Kesriwada are worth watching and the two that follow in the end are the most popular ganesh mandals viz. Mandai & Dagdusheth Halwai. Thousands of devotees flood onto the Laxmi road area in Pune city to watch these culturally rich processions while millions of devotees glue to their television's for watching the live proceedings. Siddhivinayak temple in Dadar is also one of the most popular Ganpati temple in India. Thousands of devotees in mumbai come to this temple to offer their true prayers throughout the year.
Ganpati is certainly one of the most revered deity in India. His presence is truly felt in the world where Indians are gaining popularity globally due their knowledge in different areas. One of his name is Buddhipriya which also means 'Fond of Intelligence'. He is the lord of intelligence and hence is widely popular amongst students fraternity all over india. Students pray to him to seek intelligence to overcome the academic challenges and to succeed in this highly competitive world.
Ganpati Bappa Morya!
