Ganapati – the chief of ganas, our beloved, adored by kids, prayed by the adults, destroyer of obstacles and what not!
In the months of August and September, we celebrate the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. We make an image of Ganesh with unburnt clay and worship him. Huge festivals happen around him. But after a period of one week to fifteen days is over, we immerse it in the lake or ocean, so that God dissolves.
What does this symbolize? Read on..
Ganesh is the symbol of intellectual activity. He is the symbol of human intellect. This is symbolically very appropriate because this is the nature of your intellect. You can use it to consciously imagine something. And dissolving him is the symbol that if you use your intellect right, you can dissolve the world. Once you dissolve the world with your imagination, dissolving the activity of your intellect, switching off the imagination is not a big problem.
You can obliterate the universe with your imagination. The universe will not exist in your experience if you create a powerful imagination. If imagination is consciously developed, turning it off is easy. Right now, bits and pieces of imagination are happening unconsciously and it looks like it is impossible to stop it. The entire Ganesh Chaturthi festival is symbolic of this.
To Celebrate and experience this Consciously developed imagination, we are gathering on September 10th at Sully Government Center. Please grace the occasion with family and friends and enjoy the fetivities! More details in the flyer below:
