Salutations to
the supreme Lord Ganesh, whose curved trunk (vakra-tunda) and massive body
(maha-kaayaa) shines like a million suns (surya-koti) and showers his blessings
on everyone (sama-prabhaa). Oh my lord of lords Ganesh (kurume-deva), kindly
remove all obstacles (nir-vighnam), always (sarva-) and forever (sarvadaa-) from
all my activities and endeavors
(sarva-kaaryeshu).

Sri Ganesha is the embodiment of the all-pervading
universal energy.
Worshiping Sri Ganesha on this
auspicious day will remove all obstacles and bestow the devotee with
happiness and
prosperity.
Ganesha or
Vighneshwara is the Lord of Obstacles of material and spiritual order
and His dharma is to remove obstacles and to place obstacles in the path of
those who need to be checked. He could be considered as the most endearing form
of all Hindu deities and His birthday; Ganesha Chaturthi, which
falls on the fourth day of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada, is celebrated
with great devotion and delight.

Let us
keep the deep symbolism of Divinity in mind as we experience the omnipresent in
the form of the elephant God,
yet be fully aware that Ganesha
is very much within us.
This is the wisdom we should carry as we
celebrate Ganesha Chaturthi.
Jai
Karunamayi!
