Ganesh Chaturthi beyond Rituals: Life Lessons through a short note and a poem

Ganesh Chaturthi in 2025 is going to be observed on August 26th / 27th. The Chaturthi Tithi, which marks the start of the festival, while the Ganesh Utsav will last for 10 days to contemplate on the teachings of Lord Ganesha and revisiting life lessons conveyed by Him.

SHORT NOTE

Lord Ganesha symbolizes knowledge, wisdom, ego control, balance, humility, perseverance, and stability. He promotes the idea of listening more than talking, admitting inadequacies and making efforts for self-improvement. He urges devotees to be adaptable and flexible when facing challenge. While challenges are unavoidable, they can be conquered through perseverance, patience, and innovative solutions. 

Lord stresses family bonds and fulfilling one's household duties and responsibilities since one's Karma as social being holds greater significance than worldly success and recognition. He advocates for a balanced life, which involves a blend of intellect, compassion, and practicality.

Teachings of Lord Ganesha: A poem

Ganesha's name, a gentle sound,
Knowledge, wisdom can be found.
Ego low, a balanced mind,
Humility's grace, for all mankind.

Tells to pay heed, before you speaks,
Accepts your flaws, the strength you'll seek.
Courage to act, your duty clear,
Persevere to conquer every fear.

Family first, a loving tie,
Karma's call, reaching high.
Mind and heart, a blend so bright,
Compassion shines, a guiding light.
