2024 Celebrating Vināyak Chaturthī: “Today is a very big day because the actual Pure Spirit has taken birth today”

"Today is a very big day, because the actual Pure Spirit has taken birth today. And He already had such an eternal state, that many people could not comprehend it or write about it. They wrote only what they understood, but now that you are realized you can understand that by the Power of Śhrī Gaṇeśha's name you can get your Realization. By taking His name alone any disease or any pain will disappear. He is eternal. He is always present within us, when you get your Realization, you can feel Him. "

"Today is a very important day for all of us, Sahaja Yogis, because today Śhrī Gaṇeśha was born.
Śhrī Gaṇeśha is whom we worship and because of whom we got our Realization. However much you may remember Him, until you do not know His special qualities, you cannot attain Him. His special quality is that He is the Embodiment of Purity (Śhuddha Swarūp) and Complete Master of the Universe. He is the Incarnation of the Supreme, of Brahman.
By coming into this world He has created music (saṅgīt), rhythm (tāl) and notes (sur). By His Grace only people become one with music (tallīn) [engrossed]. A small boy who came into the world and did such great work! He has given so many things to everyone and even today He is active.
Śhrī Gaṇeśha's Pūjā, no matter how much you do it, it is not enough.
A lot of people say, `We don't see Śhrī Gaṇeśha, even after worshiping Him so much, we do not attain Him.' "

"Śhrī Gaṇeśha was made out of the, they say, it is a beautiful poetic way of saying it, out of the mud that was covering the Mother Pārvatī or you can say the Gaurī at that time. Because She was not married in the sense that She was a virgin, just finished her marriage and She was to meet Her husband and this virgin wanted to have a bath before meeting her husband, so she cleanses her hands properly and makes this Deity of Śhrī Gaṇeśha which is bestowed on this center. If you really develop your proper insight through meditation you can see Śhrī Gaṇeśha settled down there very clearly.
Śhrī Gaṇeśha is the Embodiment of Innocence and that's why He is a child, that's why His head is that of an elephant, because an elephant being an animal doesn't grow into ego and superego like human beings do. That's why He is a child. He is the Embodiment of Childhood and He incarnated on this Earth once which is described in Devī Bhāgavat[am] if you read as Mahāviṣhṇu."

"It is such a fortunate day today that we should come on the birth of Śhrī Gaṇeśha -- today is Vināyak Chaturthī, today -- that we should celebrate this Pūjā."

"But when Pārvatī made Śhrī Gaṇeśha, He was the Son of Pārvatī alone. There was no Father. Pārvatī Herself wanted to have a child of Her own. There were angels who were dedicated either to Viṣhṇu or to Śhiva, like gaṇas were dedicated to Śhiva alone. So, She wanted to have Her own Son who can permeate Her Powers on this Earth.
So to begin with when the Śhakti created this universe and Sadāśhiva was watching Her creation, the first thing She created on this Earth was innocence and the Embodiment of that Innocence was Śhrī Gaṇeśha.
The whole Universe was covered with innocence, which we call as Oṃkāra. This innocence protected all the creation of the world and penetrated into all that is matter."

"I have said a lot about Śhrī Gaṇeśha and His importance in our life.
He is the giver of wisdom. But this wisbom ... wisdom comes from our innocence, innocence that is innate within us. As children, we are innocent, but as we grow we start exerting ourselves in a manner that we start losing our innocence.
We lose it in two ways. Once we have lost our innocence, we cannot believe that others could be innocent. Another is that we think innocence is not important.
Innocence is the sustainance [sustenance], is the basis of spirituality. If a person doesn't have innocence, we [he] cannot rise in spirituality.
That's why the first job of Sahaja Yoga is to establish Śhrī Gaṇeśha within you, to awaken Him. As soon as the Kuṇḍalinī awakens, you must know that Śhrī Gaṇeśha comes into being. Without His awakening within you, Kuṇḍalinī cannot be raised."

"This is the importance of this day. Today if you ask for any wish, then Śhrī Gaṇeśha will fulfill it. It is His right to fulfill all your desires, because you are all realized. Ask Him with all your heart and He will help you in every way, every moment, every instant."
