A Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all of you. May the blessings of Lord Ganesha guide you through your lives and bring peace and joy into it.
One story about Lord Ganesha impresses me a lot. He went around his parents Siva and Parvathi and considered it to be equivalent to going around the world. In short prostrating before your parents is like having conquered the world. How very true! Our parents have given life to us and we’d be non-exisistent without them. They should therefore mean the world to us. Let us spend a moment recalling all that they have done for us. They may or may not have left us worldly possessions depending on their status in life. But they have certainly given us heartfelt blessings. It is their blessing that carries us through life. Let us then devote this day to them!

Yes, about reverence to parents, yet another lesson well learnt from mythology..!
With Best Regards,
Srijith.
I love the line that says "god cannot be everywhere so he sent mother to us" i say it is parents because god cannot be with everyone.Without them we dont exist.
Happy vinayaka chaturthi to you and your family.
I hope you had a good chaturti. Isn't he the sweetest god? and some how I cannot picture him as a grownup - he is always a child with those mischievous eyes and sweet face. I can understand him going around parents as they represented the world but I still cannot figure out why Kartikeya had to get so angry about it - as one who gave his father the meaning of OM should he not have understood his brother's act and agreed that Genesha deserved the fruit!
archana:Thanx.yeah parents come first.
srijith:thanx srijith.our mythology is so rich that the more we read the less we know.
alapana:i see from your blog that you've had a great time too.
usha:sibling rivalry does not spare anyone does it?and if Murugan had not got angry how would we have the shrine at Palani?
Belated wishes to u too. Thats so thotful of u to dedicate the same to our parents. Well done!
has to be me:same to you too.did you have a good time?
Mahadevan:yes we did not choose our parents but as you say they are the best for their children.This story emphasises on just that.
