Ganesh Chaturthi - The Changed Scenario - Posted by Smitha
Like all other festivals, Ganesh Chaturthi also has historic values. It is celebrated all over India, as it is the birthday of Ganesha. During festival season the people worship the Ganesh idols in their houses or at a common place for one to ten days. After that the idols are taken celibately through the streets and immersed in River or Sea.
In olden days the idols are made by clay, wood or metals and it was not harmful to nature. But now because of the use of Plaster of Paris, it is destroying the balance of the River and Sea. Indian Rishis not encouraging any festival, which is harmful to the Nature. They asked us to love the Basic elements like Space, Air, Water and Earth and keep clean as it is. Because of competition we are making bigger and bigger idols, which is going to make more in balance to the nature.
So we are requesting all the devotees to do worship through which you can get the Gods blessing. The person who is the destroyer of Nature cannot be a friend of GOD – Brahma- Paramatma. We Indians deviated from the real path that lead to Moksha or Ananda.
