Lord Ganesha arrives every year to teach us these six life lessons. Each alankar is significant and teaches us why we celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi.
Ganesh Chaturthi is a festival of love, joy, and happiness. Ganesha is known as “Vighnaharta,” the destroyer of obstacles. He embodies many life lessons. From his tiny mouth to his big ears and the objects in his six hands, everything can be decoded to teach us how to overcome obstacles in life. Ganesha is the ideal teacher from whom we can learn how to lead a happy and prosperous life.
The Symbolism of Ganesha’s Small Mouth and Big Ears
Ganesh has a small mouth to teach us the need to speak less and only when it is important. Ganesh teaches us to speak less but speak sweet. The more we speak, the less effective the quality of our words. However, the big ears show the need to be a good listener, receptive to everything that comes our way. When we listen better, we understand better and appreciate other perspectives. This leads to better relations with people.
The Symbolism of the Six Alankars/Adornments
Each alankar is significant and teaches us an important life lesson.
1. Axe (Kulhaadi)
The axe symbolizes a source of knowledge enabling us to cut down past karma and bad deeds in life. Knowledge means wisdom, which helps us decipher between wrong and right.
2. Rope (Rassi)
The rope is symbolic of tying yourself to the disciplines of life. Discipline is the key to unlock the powers of a soul and walk the path of wisdom.
3. Trident (Trishul)
The three prongs of the Trishul symbolize our past, present, and future. When we are faced with past karma, we need to know how to deal with it in the present, keeping in mind the consequences will affect our future. The Trishul balances our past, present and future lives.
4. Modak (Sweet)
The Modak has more than one significance. Making modak is not easy and is a lesson on the difficulties in life, which we need to face to achieve success. Since modak is sweet, it symbolizes the sweetness of success. Hard work brings success that we will savour.
5. Lotus (Kamal)
The lotus grows in murky water but retains its purity and beauty. It shows the need to always be pure from within, no matter how adverse the conditions outside.
6. Blessing (Vardaan)
Ganesha’s sixth hand has nothing bit is raised in a blessing. It is his most important lesson where he asks us to bless everyone in our life, regardless of how their behaviour with you. Everyone should be accepted with an open heart.
Mastering these six lessons will help us overcome obstacles and live a prosperous life.

A perspective on Ganesh ji
आह्वान , विर्सजन, के बीच अनुसंधान एव अनुभव भी कितने दार्शनिक होते है । झुमते नाचते भगवान गणेश जी को लाना घर मे एक परीवार के सदस्य का बड जाना घर को नये स्वरूप मे सजाना ,भक्तिभाव से जो बन सके वह पूजा अर्चना करना हमारे संस्कारो को और प्रखर बनाने का काम करते है जीवन मे प्रेम के मुल्यो को दर्शाते है गणेश जी कि प्रतिमा कि स्थापना का मतलब सुख ,शांति ,एव विकास कि स्थापना
और जब समय आता है हम विसर्जन करने निकले तो अपनी बुराईयो का विर्सजन करे ,क्रोध, ईष्या, घंमड , इत्यादी क्योकि ईश्वर सदैव आपके साथ आपकि विचारधारा और आपके स्नेह के बंधन मे सदा आपके साथ है वह कहि नहि विसर्जित होते है
कयी दिन साथ रह कर हमे जीवन जीने कि कला सीखा कर फिर अगली कक्षा मे जीवन के अगले पढाव पर मिलने का वादा करके विदा हो जाते है बन्धूओ आज विसर्जन पर अपने अन्तर्मन मे देख कर स्वयं को और निखारने का वादा करे जब पुन: भगवान आएगे तो हम भी परिवर्तित रूप मे उनके समक्ष जा सके ।
सुख समृद्धी के साथ साथ एक पंडाल मे जाति पात से उप्पर उठ कर हम पुन: भक्तिभाव से गणेशोत्सव का आनन्द लेगे इस वादे के साथ हम विदाई देगे अपने ईष्ट को ,नाचते गाते और यह कहते अगले बरस तू जल्दी आ ।
In the midst of invocation, immersion, research and experience are also so philosophical. Bringing the dancing Lord Ganesha into the house, the growing up of a family member, decorating the house in a new form, worshiping whatever can be done with devotion, work to make our sanskars more intense, shows the value of love in life. Establishment of idol of Ganesh ji means establishment of happiness, peace and development.
And when the time comes for immersion, then we should immerse our evils, anger, jealousy, pride, etc. Because God is always with you in the bondage of your ideology and your affection, he does not immerse anywhere.
After living together for some days, we learn the art of living life and then we leave by promising to meet in the next class at the next stage of life, brothers, today on immersion, look in your inner self and promise to improve yourself when God comes again. So we can also go before Him in a changed form.
Along with happiness and prosperity, rising above caste and caste in a pandal, we will again enjoy Ganeshotsav with devotion, with the promise that we will bid farewell to our deity, dance, sing and say that you will come soon next year.
