Lord Vinayaka is the most favourites God among all age groups, whether elders or youngsters!
Lord Vinayaka is a constant companion with us being omnipresent where ver we go – whether streets, river bank, even buildings, banyan trees, street corners
Lord Vinayaka does not need any big temple – whenever & wherever we want, whne we make his image either in clay or turmeric powder, he makes his sacred presence and offers us all his best!
Whenever we start a new task, we seek Lord Vinayaka’s blessing before starting it so that it gets completed without any hitch.
When Goddess Durga fought the demon Banasura, Lord Vinayaka used his power & weapons to block the astrals from the demon and helped the Goddess to conquer the Asura. This incident exemplifies that Lord Vinayaka will help in overcoming any hurdles while taking up any task.
Another significant aspect is that Lord Vinayaka prefers simplest of food items. These simple items carry great philosophies.
Lord Vinayaka’s most favourite food item is ‘Modhagam’ or ‘Kozhukkattai’. This item is white outside and has yellow-coloured sweet inside. It conveys the significance that if one keeps his mind pure & moral, he can attain the height of seeing the invisible God!
Lord Vinayaka likes sugarcane. Even though it is sweet, it is hard to eat. Similarly, only if you work hard in life, you can taste the sweet of success!
Peiople offer flat rice (aval) and pori (puffed rice). They can get flown away with a slight blow! The metaphor is that, all the hardships encountered in one’s life may also be blown away easily.
Just like we celebrate ‘Navaratri’ (9 scred nights) for the Goddess Ambal (Lakshmi, Saraswathi, & Durga together), Lord Vinaya kas is also celebrated with ‘Navaratri’. The nine nights starting from Vinayaka Chathurthi are known as ‘Navaratri’. In the oldent times, these nine nights were celebrated in a grand manner.
All people who offer their special prayers and observe penance for Lord Vinayaka will certainly be endowed with health & wealth!
May Lord Vinayaka bless us one & all!
