Ganesha the lord of initiation

 This is very special topic for me as I have complied  this after long  research and some are my personal observations and accordingly made my efforts to bring this forward.

Ganesha is considered as god of wisdom and initiation as when we start with some work or have a goal, the reason for not reaching goal or hurdles in reaching the goal are caused by ignorance persisting in us which is hindering us from choosing right path , since lord Ganesha is god of  wisdom and intellect , he can remove our ignorance with his wisdom which would lead us towards goal.

Let’s start understanding the science behind this tradition, if we notice the correlation between moon cycle and it’s impact on humanity, it’s so astonishing to understand that waxing and waning phases of moon influences our Brain (to a great extent and this is profoundly observed in asian countries where rice is staple food, so why only rice .?? , it’s simple rice requires lot of water to grow and we know moon have impact on water.!!, ) so when moon is in waning phase our mind also responds accordingly that means increased density of thoughts and decreased connectivity with universe which causes confusion and lack of clarity in our thoughts which can lead us towards wrong choices, hence Lord Ganesha or Ganesha consciousness helps you to remain with calm mind, and the group consciousness of the festival drives the mass into transformation for  better Society.!!!!

And this month of Badhrapada Being a rainy season removing the slith from the river and other water bodies used for making idols for Pooja in festival from their habitat helps increased water retention of rain water and  the leaves(patri) of all herbal plants used in the ritual is again discarded in those water bodies along with the idol made of mud, this cleanses the water and In fact the quality is improved with medicinal value of those leaves which our immunity.!!

So this is the science behind the Indian tradition of celebrating this festival.!

And in term of energy, in these days meditating or other spiritual practices help you to have calm mind and slowly transcend your energies towards higher realities.
