Vighanaharta be back soon

As I was preceding towards the today's eve, my heart felt heavier and heavier. Some where I was feeling sad, that from today I'll miss a lot of things... A number of things I learnt and lived past 11 days... Stopping by the florist every day after my early morning classes, to buy flowers and haar, praying and doing the pooja in the morning and aarti every evening with family. Past 11 days, God resided at my place!

In Hindu religion, it is believed that Ganpati Bappa stays at homes of people He stays with families and is a part of the daily routine for 10 days. Since childhood I always waited for this festival the whole year... But for the first time I got the opportunity to invite and stay with God for 11 days. Believe me those were one of the most unforgettable days of my life!

Last month I remember, I was having a lot of troubles in my life... I was going through a very bad phase. I was overloaded with studies, my close friends were complaing about my incapability to give them time and were annoyed with my hectic schedule, though they understand me, but still how patient they could be! I was unable to find time even for myself! And then on 2nd September, I brought Ganpati Bappa home... the same evening or should I say just a few minutes later to His (Lord Ganesha's) arrival at my place, my problems started vanishing all by themselves! One after another my friends started calling me, inquiring about my studies and motivating me to stay tuned and work hard! From the very next day when Lord Ganesha started residing at the place, a lot of good things started happning with me. One of my long awaited result was out and I scored exceptionally well in that paper! My studies started gaing a very good pace and I can go on, in quoting examples! He turned out Vighanaharta to me in realy terms! (Vighanaharta means one who takes away the troubles)


Today, I had to bid Him adieu! I felt very sad... Right now I'm feeling as if some guest lived with us for 11 days and left us for an year long wait of His arrival! I'm feeling so sad, that I was unable to express myself properly in this post! Right now I have only this to say, "Ganpati Bappa Morya, pudhchya varshi lavakar ya!" (In marathi that means, Lord Ganesha be back soon next year)


P.S: It could have been better if I would have posted this blog in Marathi or Hindi.
