Ganpati Bappa Morya !!!


Lord Ganesha - Done with Crayon

The birth of LORD Ganesha-Ganesh chaturthi ,Vinakaya Chaturti is an auspicius religous

festival in Maharashtra.According to what i have read ,this festival that is celebrated

since the days of the Maratha Empire.In Maharasthra it usually goes on for 10 days and in

primitive days many bhanjans,Abhangas and holy songs were sung in praise of Lord Ganapati.
A tradional sweet known as 'modak' ,fruits and other sweets are offered to the Lord.

How ever ,in present days i see that the whole purpose of it being a religous holy festival

being lost.I do not understand till date the purpose of playing Bollywood & even Hollywood

songs like 'kanta lagaa','Its the time to Disco','I'm a barbie girl'etc beside Ganesh

pandals.I really wonder if Lord Ganesha wanted to catch up with the latest songs in Both

hollywood and bollywood.Even idols that are made are wierd .some depicting

politions.Recently ,i saw a video of a six pack ganesha.

Most give a reason that popularity demands.

Finally, i would like to conclude that it's good to adopt modern ways for festivals but care should be taken that the main motive ofa particular festival remains.
