Chandra Darshan is prohibited on Ganesh Chaturthi

It is extremely harmful to look at the Moon on Ganesh-Chaturthi. Therefore be very careful not to look at the moon on that night. If one happens to look at the Moon on the night of Ganesh-Chaturthi, then no matter how innocent one is, one will definitely be defamed.

Even Lord Krishna was accused of having stolen the ‘Syamantak Mani’ because of looking at the Moon on this night. However, if you look at the Moon on the 3rd and 5th nights of that lunar month, the harmful effects caused by seeing the Moon on the 4th lunar night is countered. In any case, if by mistake you do happen to look at the Moon on this night, read or listen to the episode narrating the theft of the Syamantak Mani as described in the 56th and 57th chapters of the tenth Skanda of the Srimad Bhagawata.

According to another katha Guruma elaborates 

On Bhadrapad Shukla Paksh Chaturthi Chandra Darshan is prohibited.  If any one sees Chandrama today a blame or kalank will  have to be mounted on him. The blame will be in the form of misappropriation of fund, or sex related. So Avoid observing moon today strictly…

It is said that Ganesh was ready to go some where, but on seeing him his attire and body structure Chandra Dev thought he himself is so beautiful and He smiled on Sri Ganesha & passed comment. So Ganesha got angry and said Any one who observe you on Chauth will be blamed. So Chandra Dev thought no one will have a look at him. So he excused and praised Sri Ganesha repeatedly… 

Sri Ganesha was pleased  but said because you have passed innuendo you have to face the consequences. So not all the Chauth ka Chand but only Bhadrapad Shukla Paksh Chauth Chandra Darshan is malefic

Om Gan Ganpathiyah Namah!!

Prasad To Ganapathi- Modak

Why Modak Prasadam is offered to Gajanan??

Modak, sweet laddoos, is one of the most important offerings made to Lord Ganesha. It is said that any offering to Ganesh is incomplete without the Modaks. There is an interesting story in the Padma Purana regarding why Ganesha loves Modak. 

Guruma narrates Once the Devas (demi gods) came to visit Shiva and Goddess Parvati and presented them a divine Modak. It was a very special Modak and the person who ate the modak will become knowledgeable in all scriptures, science, art and writing. 

Goddess Parvati wanted to present it to her sons – Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartik. But the brothers were not ready to share it. So a confused Goddess Parvati said that who among you proves the true meaning of sincerity and devotion will get the Modak.

To prove the true meaning of devotion, Lord Kartik immediately mounted on his Vahana, or vehicle, and started visiting all the spiritual places.

But Lord Ganesha went around Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and said that no amount of offerings or fasting or visiting sacred places is equal to the devotion of one’s father and mother.

Impressed by Lord Ganesha’s explanation of true meaning of sincerity and devotion, Goddess Parvati gave the Modak to Lord Ganesha. 

This is believed to be the reason for Lord Ganesha’s love for Modak. Ganesh Chaturthi Utsav 25th to 29th August 2017 stay blessed Gurumaa BhriguShree www.bhrigushree.com
