Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi

It’s Ganesh Chaturthi today – a Hindu festival marking the birth of the elephant-headed deity Ganesh, the God of prosperity and wisdom. The festival is mainly celebrated in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh. It is believed that worshipping Lord Ganesh brings happiness, peace, and prosperity in life. In ‘Sanatan Dharm’, Lord Ganesh is worshipped before the start of any good work. Hence, Ganesh Chaturthi too has a special significance.

We are showing you the Panchmukhi Ganesh idol that symbolises the five sheaths in the subtle anatomy of human beings. They are the Annamaya, Pranamaya, Manomaya, Vijnanamaya, and Anandamaya. The five faces symbolise the five components that make for the human physique. Worshipping this idol evokes the power to regulate the five senses which include renunciation, divine love, affection, authenticity, and brave action. When kept in-home or office, the idol brings auspicious vibrations of spirituality, harmony, and bliss.
