.mark...of..accepting..our..mistakes..and..asking..him..2..forgive..[he..takes..all..our..sins..]

• NOT..supposed..tosee..Moon..as.he..is..cursed..for..that..

I..tried..to..identify..the..significance..of..Ganesha..Chaturthi
.using..my..limited..knowledge..
correct...me..if..any..thing..is...wrong...
MORALS....
As..per..the...stories..from..our..puranas...on..GC.[Symanthakopakyana..]

• Relation..between..MOM..and.SON

...........Ganeshji.comes..to..earth..to..take..his..MOM..safely..
to..KAILASH..after..the..aashad
[eetc]...

• No..one..shud..make..fun..of..others.for..any..reasons...

.........Moon.God...makes...fun..of..Gaesh..for...his..fat..stomach
..and...tiny..chariot...mouse...as
a..result..he..is..cursed..by..ganesha....i.e...y..no..one
..shud..see..moon...on..GC..day

• Respect..for..everyone..including..children..juniors..etc..etc

Even..though..ganesh..is..a.small..kid..all..big..daities
..like..bramha..vishnu..shiva..etc..etc..
worship..him..and..take..his..blessing..
for..starting...their..activities....

• Think...before..U..act......

Shiva....beheads...ganesh..during..fight...without.
.realising..that..ganesh..is..his..son..and.
.then..repents..when..he..comes..to..know..that.
.he..killed..his..son..which....was..a...
thoughtless..act...and..decision..taken..in..hurrry..

• Any..one..born..in..this..world..are..under..maya..and..have..to..face..

miseries..and..burdens..of..life...

Supreme..Personality.. KRISHNA...under..maya..also..undergoes.
.lots..of..problems..in..his..life...KRISHNA..is..
alleged..by..his..relatives..etc....to..have..killed..
King..Prasena..and..others.
for..getting..precious..symathaka..mani
[jewel..from...SUN...god]

• All..gr888..powers..and..wealth...come..with..even..more..responsibilites..

If..not..handled..properly..can.be..dangerous..else..will..be..very..much..
rewarding....

King..Prasena...did..not..handle..properly..the..holy.
.and..powerfull.syamathaka..mani..
[jewel..from..SUN..God]..hence..is..killed.
..by..Lion..immediatly..
but..King..Akroora..handled..the.Mani
..by..the..it..was..supposed..o..be..used..
He...built..many..cities..haridwar...etc..etc
..and..many..temples..using..the..wealth..
provided..by..mani..]

• No.one..shud..be..under.estimated..at..any..cost.. .
• We..need..to..be..humble..and..kind..even..if..we..gr88..powers...
  

Ganeshji's..chariot..is..a..mouse.[ride..on..a..mouse!!!!!!]
.even..a..small...animal..can..be..useful..
Ganesh..even..if..he..is..very..powerful..GOD.
..use..small..as..chariot..humbly..

Other..significance..

• During..Independence..struggle...,,BalaGangadharTilak..i

ntroduced..GC..as..sociall.fest...using..this..as...stage..
for.social..gathering..and..spreading..awareness..among..the..masses...
