Tomorrow 29th Aug
2014 is Ganesh Chaturthi…. Vinayaka
Chathurthi would be grandly celebrated in Tamilnadu as also in the rest of the
country with gay and gaiety. Lord Ganesha is widely worshipped as the God
of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune and traditionally invoked at the beginning
of any new venture or at the start of travel.
In mid 1980s, installing huge
Vinayaka idols in many public places, religious worship for ten days and
visarjanam were being conducted in a big manner ~ after a couple of incidents, the
then rulers banned passing of procession in the Triplicane High Road citing law
and order issues and now a days, the procession has shrunk ……. Those days,
there would be hundreds of Vinayakas big and small installed at each street and
the idol procession would unwind through narrow lanes of triplicane, with
enthusiastic crowds singing bajans and songs extolling Ganesha.
Now there is so much of pressure
on Hindu devotees – they are made to run for obtaining permission as Police,
Corporaation and every authority does their mite to dampen the spirit.
This evening a bunch of sprightly
youngsters organised a grand procession taking big Vinayaka statues to be
installed for Pooja at Ponnappa Mudali Street………… Hail the Lord Ganesha
Vinayakane vinai theerppavane… !!! Jai Ganapathi Maharaj ki…. !!!!!
