From Parmarth Niketan, we extend our warmest wishes on Shri Ganesh Chaturthi.

May Vighnaharta, Mangalakarta, and Siddhidata Lord Ganesha bless all with wisdom, patience, discernment, peace, and prosperity.

The divine form of Shri Ganesh is not only an object of devotion but also a profound philosophical message:

• His large head inspires us to nurture higher thoughts.
• His trunk teaches that even the small details of life matter.
• His big ears symbolize listening with patience.
• His single tusk reflects the truth that Truth is One.
• His humble vehicle, the mouse, teaches that with humility and self-control, even the smallest effort can achieve greatness.

Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak transformed this festival into a movement for social awakening and national unity. Even today, Ganesh Utsav reminds us of fraternity, cooperation, and cultural preservation.

H.H. Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji’s message:

• Ganesh Chaturthi is not just a celebration, but a festival of inner awakening.
• Let us return to eco-friendly practices, worshipping with clay and natural idols, protecting our sacred rivers and water sources.
• Let us resolve to live free from greed, violence, and selfishness, walking instead on the path of wisdom, unity, and peace.

Ganpati Bappa Morya!
