Ganesh Chaturthi...

[Guest guest]

Dear Ganesh Bhaiya and to all,

 

Wish You too peace, prosperity and His blessings.,on this auspicious

day, and to those financially poor bhaktas in Maharashtra who carry the

Ganesha processions continously, though materialistic wealth they have

not seen, but pride in abundance the love,prema,bhakti and shradha

for Lord Ganeshji,in their hearts.

 

Today morning waiting at bus stop for a bus, I saw a procession

complete with drummers,10-12 persons, a big Ganeshji about 5 feet

size in seated position. I went little away at the thought that they

may fire crackers high sounding ones which i dont like, but

this group was not into firecrakers, so came near the bus stop again.

I noticed that they were all poor people (Normally poor people or

people little above the poverty line,or lower middle class do such type

of display.pomp and show and into carrying out Ganeshjis in

processions,affluent people also are into this but very less

percentage.)The zeal they displayed combined with the sound of drums,

brought tears to my eyes, and I said to myself look at these people

whom we call poor,filthy,unkempt with un-ironed clothes, they have

time,money in adversity,energy,inclinations also, to do this while we

dont have enough time to even decorate properly Ganeshjis sitting at

our own homes in form of silver idols/photos whatever.

These people in procession were very slow in movement ,they were moving

unhurriedly ahead and all this watching them made tears well up in my

eyes., and definitely made me feel small. I salute them and all Ganesh

Bhaktas in the world.

 

regards,

 

Bhaskar.

dear Bhaskarji,

jus to supplement ur observation, u can recollect a

mail i had sent during this month wherein i had said

that Lord venkateswara will be pleased to receive the

humble donation from an innocent village who would

have sacrificed is daily essentials and made a trip to

thirupathi by walk or any other modest mode of

transport. I jus thought that they are the true

devotees as u have observed today.

 

may god reduce the suffering of such people,
