Ganesh Utsav 2024: Ganesh Utsav is being celebrated with great joy and enthusiasm in the entire country. Every year Ganesh Utsav starts from the fourth day of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month i.e. Ganesh Chaturthi and continues till Anant Chaturthi. On this special occasion, let us know how the vehicle of the first revered Lord Ganesha became a mouse.
Once, angry with his father Bholenath, Ganesh Ji set out in search of his vehicle. On the way, Ganesh Ji met Rishi Parashar, who was troubled by the terror of a mouse king, and asked for help from Ganesh Ji. Then Lord Ganesh threw a noose to teach a lesson to the mischievous mouse, in which the mouse got trapped and started apologizing to Ganesh Ji. Ganesh Ji was also in search of his vehicle, so Ganesh Ji forgave the mouse king and made him his vehicle. In this way, the mouse became Ganesh Ji’s vehicle.
Lord Ganesha showers his blessings on the weak and vulnerable, that is why he chose Mushak Maharaj as his vehicle. Not only this, Ganesha made the small Mushak strong so that it can lift heavy loads. This teaches us that we should never underestimate anyone, everyone has their own strength and capabilities.
Ganesha’s vehicle symbolizes the ability to overcome anything. Like the mouse and the elephant, Ganesha is the remover of obstacles, the destroyer of obstacles. That is why this 10-day festival Ganesh Chaturthi is dedicated to him.
