Guest guest Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 AUM SRI VIGNESWARAYA NAMAHA Our Sincere Prayers to Sri Sainath Maharaj on this Vinayaka Chaturthi day for a peaceful and trouble-free glorious life to all our Saibandhus. In this auspicious day, our worship to Baba is our worship to Ganapati. There is no difference between Them. Baba Himself confirmed the above in the following statement, "I am God. I am Mahalakshmi, I am Vittobha of Padharpur, I am Ganapati, I am Dattatreya, I am Laxmi Narayan, I am Maruti". Lord Ganesh removes all obstacles on the path of the spiritual aspirant, and bestows upon him worldly as well as spiritual success. So he is called VIGNA VINAYAKA or VIGHNESHWAR The Ganapati Upanishad identifies Lord Ganesh with the Supreme Self. Lord Ganesh represents the Pranava (AUM) which is the symbol of the Supreme Self. Taitiriya Upanishad (1.8.1.) states: "AUM ITI BRAHMAN -AUM is Brahman (GOD). AUM is all this. Nothing can be done without uttering it. This explains the practice of invoking Lord Ganesh before beginning any rite or undertaking any project. "WITH SAI GANAPATI, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE".
