That is why Lord Ganesha is called Bappa
According to the astrologer, the word Ganapati is made up of two words – it includes ‘Gana’ and ‘Pati’. Out of these, ‘Gana’ means group or community, while ‘Pati’ means master or lord. In such a situation, when Ganapati is formed by combining this word, it means the lord of all Ganas.
On the other hand, when referring to Bappa, it is a Marathi word that means ‘father’. When a child calls his father, there is a lot of compassion in him and on hearing his voice, the father also agrees to his words immediately. The same feeling comes when devotees call Ganesh Ji as Bappa.
What is the story behind the word Moraya?
The word Moraya is believed to be associated with Gosavi. It is said that a saint named Gosavi first called Lord Ganesha as Bappa Moraya. A study of some religious texts shows that the name Ganapati Bappa reflects the love of his devotees. That is why people chant Ganapati Bappa Morya in temples and during Ganesh Utsav.
The beginning of Ganesh Chaturthi
According to mythological beliefs, the significance of Ganesh Chaturthi is associated with the birth of Lord Ganesha, which took place on Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi. The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with great pomp in India today, especially in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Goa. People install the idol of Ganesha in their homes and worship him for 10 days. From Ganapati installation to immersion, this festival becomes a symbol of devotion, enthusiasm and community unity.
On the day of immersion, devotees immerse the idol of Ganesha in rivers, seas or reservoirs, believing that Ganapati takes all the obstacles with him. During this, slogans of “Ganpati Bappa Morya, Mangal Murti Morya” resonate, which further increases the enthusiasm of the devotees.
