Happy Ganesh Chathurthi to one and all!
Wishing a very Happy Ganesh Chathurthi to all those who celebrate. May the Lord Vighna Vinayaka remove all obstacles in your paths and shower you with peace, happiness and prosperity.
Growing up in Mumbai, Ganpati festival has had a special significance to me. Enjoying the day with Ganesh pooja performed by my father, lovely sweet and salty modaks (Vella Thengai and Kadalaparuppu kozhakattais) prepared by my mom, and visiting every possible Ganpati - Chembur, Dukes, Tilak Nagar, Matunga, Dadar, Siddhivinayak Mandir, Lalbaugcha Raja, GSB Seva Mandal in Kings Circle : this is a memory captured in the heart and etched in the mind of every true Mumbaikar.
That combined with listens of Aartis and Ganpati bhajans by Lata Mangeshkar makes it a memorable treat.
I would like to share with you my cover rendition of a traditional Marathi Aarti, popularised in Lataji's mellifluous sweet voice. My musician friend, Adwait Ranade, has accompanied me for chorus and sloka chanting. Thank you, Adwait.
Sukhakarta Dukhaharta (harbinger of happiness and dispeller of distress), is a popular Marathi arati dedicated to the Hindu god Ganesha, composed by the saint Samarth Ramdas (1608 - 1682 CE).It is included in the "most standard and almost universal" arati songs sung at the end of Puja (worship rituals) of Ganesha in Maharashtra, especially in his festival Ganesh Chaturthi as well as in Ganesha temples in the region.
Ganpati Bappa Morya! Have a beautiful start to all your works!
