Thanks to Sri Bal Gangadhar Tilak - the great patriot,
Who pioneered the Ganesa festival in ‘Mandals';
To join together with love and unity,
Is the main motto of Ganesa Festival;
To rise above the barriers of States,
Without tirade against different cultures in India;
To overcome the prejudice against languages,
Without reproach, criticism or evaluation;
To reach out to every corner of the society,
Without the division of the rich and poor;
To merge together with humane values,
Without the bias of caste, creed and customs;
To mingle together with a friendly attitude,
Without the blocks of ignorance and hatred;
To sing and dance together,
The virtues and victorious deeds of Ganesa;
To chant the ‘Ganesa Mantras' with devotion
And live a healthy life of peace and prosperity;
"Ganapati Bappa Morya"! Is the soulful slogan
The chorus of unity in diversity of India!
It's amazing how ganesh chaturthi is one of the festivals that is widely celebrated by so many various cultures. The tradition of visiting different places during the festival has established strong grounds of unity in India.
