Ganesha Chaturthi 2022

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Paaraayanam Frankfurt has cancelled its upcoming Ganesha Chaturthi celebrations. We regret any inconvenience caused. Thank you.

Ganesha is a divinity with many names, roles and appreciations who is loved and adored by all. We find legends that talk about how Ganesha was born and goes through various activities and stages of life. Of these, the stories about his birth and his elephant head are very popular as well as very intriguing.

When we propitiate to Ganesha, the 2 physical acts we do are:

Holding one’s earlobes and doing sit-ups & Knocking on the temples with knuckles. In modern acupressure and Neuro-biology, both these acts are proven to enhance the capacity of the brain to assimilate knowledge better. Since Ganesha is associated as the knowledge divinity, this physical activity when propriating to Ganesha to enhance the brain functioning tallies well with the concept of Ganesha and Ganitham is brain functionality related to knowledge.

If we look beyond the rituals and customs and try to understand them holistically from different perspectives, we will see Ganesha as a “Nature Scientific Cosmic Divinity” and this will explain the significance and relevance of why we celebrate, adore and believe in Ganesha today.
