Ganesh ji - Direct Dil se !!


Loud music... loads of crackers.. drums..floodlight and all the decoration in the world are usually seen during the Ganesh Visarjan !! right ?? Now how genuine is all this ?? Are people trying the please lord ganesha with showing off the power of wealth ??? or are they trying to show off their status ?? In todays worlds however, I think it become a more of a status symbol even when it comes to Lord Ganesha. I really dont know if ganesh ji is really impressed by all this or is he simple laughing at how the humans have become..

It just happened that I was having my Red-Bull as usual at Sattu's when I happen to see around 10 kids carry their Ganesh ji in an AWEOSME way. OK how awesome was it ?? They were carrying their ganesh ji in a small tricycle (the one kids use). And to add to all this they had a small ganeshji made of mud (eco-friedly as well) put safely and securely on the tricycle. they even had one guy with drums. They were dancing - shouting and taking the ganesh ji to Tank Bund for visarjan...Now, tell me is this not "being truly awesome"...

I sight really touched my heart- cause this is what i call - DIRECT DIL SE - I think it is perhaps the grandessssst visarjan our Lord Ganesh ji could ever get. Although it did not have fance decoration, lights or even loud music but, it did have a lot of zeal, enthu and most importantly the feeling behind it. So I guess People should look at this as and example and understand that its not the money you spend but the REAL FEELING of bhakti that you have. And i'm more than sure that up above in the heaven Lord ganeshji saw it and made it a point to come down all the way to bless all those children. who worshipped lord ganesha - Direct Dil se....
