Bhagwan Ganapati or Ganesha is one of the most worshipped deities in India. The King of Mithila, Chakrapani and his wife Ugra were childless for a long time. They prayed to Lord Surya for a child. He was appeased and blessed him with a child named Sindhu. He was blessed with the full bowl of Amrit as a boon and was reminded that he will remain immortal as long as the bowl remains unbroken. Sindhu swallowed the bowl to protect it. He turned into a corrupt demon that terrorized and kept even the Gods as captives. The Gods approached Lord Ganesha for help.  He descended to Earth on a peacock and slew the demon, took out the bowl from his stomach and broke it. Morgaon is believed to be the place where the head of the demon Sindhu fell on Earth. It is believed that the original idol of Lord Ganesha was consecrated here by Lord Brahma himself. The idol was small and made of sand, iron, and diamonds. Eventually, the Pandavas enclosed this idol in a copper sheet and placed it behind the currently worshiped idol for safekeeping. The word Ashtvinayaka is a Sanskrit word that means Eight Ganeshas. These eight temples are located in different places, and all of them are considered ‘Swayambhu’ or self-originated. These deities are “jagrut,” which means they fulfill the wishes of their devotees.  भगवान गणपति या गणेश भारत में सबसे अधिक पूजे जाने वाले देवताओं में से एक हैं।  मिथिला के राजा चक्रपाणि और उनकी पत्नी उग्रा लंबे समय तक निःसंतान थे। उन्होंने एक बच्चे के लिए भगवान सूर्य से प्रार्थना की। उन्हें प्रसन्न किया गया और उन्हें सिंधु नाम के एक बच्चे का आशीर्वाद दिया। उन्हें वरदान के रूप में अमृत का पूरा कटोरा मिला था और उन्हें याद दिलाया गया था कि जब तक कटोरा अखंड रहेगा तब तक वे अमर रहेंगे। सिंधु ने इसे बचाने के लिए कटोरा निगल लिया। वह एक भ्रष्ट दानव में बदल गया जिसने आतंकित किया और देवताओं को भी बंदी बना लिया। देवताओं ने मदद के लिए भगवान गणेश से संपर्क किया। वह एक मोर पर सवार होकर पृथ्वी पर उतरे और दानव को मार डाला, उसके पेट से कटोरा निकाला और उसे तोड़ दिया। मोरगाँव को वह स्थान माना जाता है जहाँ राक्षस सिंधु का सिर पृथ्वी पर गिरा था। ऐसा माना जाता है कि भगवान गणेश की मूल मूर्ति को यहां स्वयं भगवान ब्रह्मा ने प्रतिष्ठित किया था। मूर्ति छोटी थी और रेत, लोहे और हीरे से बनी थी। आखिरकार, पांडवों ने इस मूर्ति को एक तांबे की चादर में बंद कर दिया और इसे सुरक्षित रखने के लिए वर्तमान में पूजा की जाने वाली मूर्ति के पीछे रख दिया। अष्टविनायक शब्द संस्कृत का शब्द है जिसका अर्थ है आठ गणेश। ये आठ मंदिर अलग-अलग जगहों पर स्थित हैं, और इन सभी को 'स्वयंभू' माना जाता है। ये देवता "जागृत" हैं, जिसका अर्थ है कि वे अपने भक्तों की इच्छाओं को पूरा करते हैं। Learn more about your ad choices.
