Lord Ganesh Songs I

Lord Ganesh It is our tradition to worship Lord Ganesh before starting any work, to complete the work successfully. Lord Ganesh fondly called as Pillayarapa and Ganapathi Bappa, is the elder son of Lord Shiva and Lordess Parvathi. He is the brother of Lord Muruga. He is Vigneshwara, who removes all obstacles. People offer him “Modhagam”, “Aval”, “Pori” etc. His birthday is celebrated as “Ganesh Chathurthi”. It is a custom to immerse His idol (made of sand) into river/sea after this festival, it indicates that our problems/sorrows will be removed if we have true Bhakthi. Worshiping Him is very easy, Mix some turmeric powder or sandal powder with water and form a triangular structure such that its base lies on ground. Apply kumkum on the upper tip portion. So simple, isn’t it. Offer flowers.

Offer Prasadham, even chocolates will do. Sing songs and offer Aarathi. Pray with true devotion. He will remove all your worries and give you success. Your life will be filled with joy and peace with His grace. Om Kam Ganeshaya Namaha
