Happy Birthday Ganesha


Tomorrow is Ganesha's Birthday  - Ganesha Chaturthi

Ganesha is considered to the most endearing form of all Hindu Deities. Though His worship forms the most important aspect in one's daily pooja, His birthday, Ganesha Chaturthi is celebrated grandly and with devotion

Significance of His name Ganesha
The term Ganesha stems from the root "Gana" which means the leader (host) of demigods, especially referring to the retinue of Lord Siva and the term "Esha" means "ruler" or "Lord". Hence, the term Ganesha means Ruler or Lord of the Demigods.
