Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji advises,

"Forsake Gobar Ganesha, and worship Qadi Ganesha!

He teaches that Aadi Ganesha is the creator of this creation, and all the gods worship him. This is written in the first line of Shabad 2, in the Rag Jangda chapter of Amar Granth Sahib :-

Ganpati Gauri kooun saunri sanjam karai, Aadi Ganesh pratham manavai.

Brahma aur Vishnu Shiv ki madad sang le, Alakh Jagdish Kabir kai sir chadhaavai.

🌸 Why We Celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi: History & Spiritual Meaning 🐘✨

Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most vibrant and loved festivals in India. It marks the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity who is worshipped as the remover of obstacles (Vighnaharta) and the harbinger of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune.

📜 The History Behind Ganesh Chaturthi

The festival is believed to have started during the Maratha rule under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to promote culture and unity. Later, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak popularized it in the late 19th century as a public festival to bring people together during India’s freedom struggle.

Traditionally, it begins on the fourth day of the Hindu month of Bhadrapada (August–September) and lasts for 10 days, ending with the grand Ganesh Visarjan (immersion of idols in water).

🌼 Spiritual Meaning

Lord Ganesha is not just a deity of rituals; he represents wisdom, patience, and positivity. His large head inspires us to think big, his small eyes remind us to focus, and his big ears teach us to listen more.

The celebration symbolizes the idea of new beginnings. Just as Ganesha removes obstacles, devotees believe that welcoming him into their homes removes negativity and brings harmony.

🌍 Modern Significance

Today, the festival is also a call for eco-friendly celebrations. Many communities now prefer clay idols and green practices to honor Bappa while protecting nature.
