Lord Ganeshji Festival - Did you know? - Part 9

Japa of Lord Ganesha

'Aum Gam Ganapataye Namah' is Lord Ganesha's mula ("root") mantra. It is also known as His bija mantra, for it combines Ganesha's bija ("seed") sound, "gam," with the phrase, "Praise be to Ganapati." This mantra is used for yoga sadhana in which we invoke Ganesha and merge ourself with His supreme knowledge and peace. 

These two mantras are not harmful if mispronounced, as sometimes happens, though they should be sounded as properly as possible to be most effective. Most importantly, they must be chanted at the same time each day, and this means exactly the same time, for full devic support.

When Ganesha idols sipped milk

Do you remember September 21, 1995? It was a special day for devotees of Lord Ganesha. The lord’s idols began sipping milk. It happened in India and spread later to the entire world. In some temples idols of Lord Shiva and Lord Naga also accepted milk. Even non-devotees in countries like the US, UK, Kenya and South Africa experienced the wonderful miracle.

Did you witness this miracle?

Insured for Rs 1 crore

Dagdusheth Halwai Ganapati Temple is a temple dedicated to the Lord Ganesha in Pune.  The temple is popular in Maharashtra and is visited by thousands of pilgrims every year.

The main Ganesha idol is insured for a sum of 1 crore.

History of Dagdusheth Halwai Ganapati Temple
The temple was founded in 1893 by Dagadusheth. It is believed that he lost his son in a plague outbreak which plunged him and his wife in a state of depression. To bring him out of this state, his Guru advised him to make idols of Lord Ganesha and Shree Datta Maharaj and take care of them like he would father his son. It was then that the very first idol of Ganesha was made.

Ganpati Bappa Morya!!
