We wish all our readers a very happy Ganesh Chaturthi!!
Significance of Ganesha Chaturthi
All Indian festivals, beneath the aspect of delight and celebration, hold the underlying essence or the spirit which has to be captured to grasp the eternal truth. So it is with Ganesha Chaturthi.
The very story of Ganesha's manifestation holds the essence of Advaita Vedanta. He has been manifested out of the divine essence of (Parvati). This is a reminder that we all are made up of the same, all pervading essence or the spirit though we may vary owing to the disparities in shape and form.
Ganesha is the manifested form of the divine. The formless divine is ever present though it takes on a manifestation or a form,owing to our identification of ourselves with a form. Having manifested with a form, the divine also assumes a name due to our association with a form and our wrong notion of separate existence, in order to distinguish ourselves from others.
The truth or the essence is but one, the formless spirit that pervades all destroys the disparities. The celebration of Ganesha Chaturti reveals that while we worship the divine with the form, we ought to bear in mind our formless reality. This is depicted in the elaborate worship that is carried out on Gnaesha Chaturti and finally dissolving the form that we endear in a water body in remembrance of the divine as the formless reality even beyond the manifested form.
It is not to be considered that worship of forms do not have any value. Since we identify ourselves with a form it is imperative to seek the truth with a manifested form in order to proceed to realise the formless reality. This ultimately merges oneself with the realisation of one's true self, the formless reality thereby in eternal mergence with the divine.

About Mahavatar Babaji
Jagadguru Maha Avatar Babaji
Throughout the centuries I have revealed myself to the few whom I choose to carry my Message of Living Light of Love to those of mankind whom I am working with throughout their cycles of incarnations on Earth. – Jagadguru Maha Avatar Babaji
Current World View of Babaji:
babajiJagadguru Maha Avatar Babaji is an enigma who eludes definition or comprehension. Many words have been written about Babaji in many languages and projected into the airwaves of various media in present day. We attempt to explain and share experiences we have had with Babaji, both spiritual/mystical through visions, dreams and meditation and physical encounters, mostly in the Himalayan Mountains of India. Many have tried to understand one’s own fascination and mysterious love for Babaji; it seems to rise up from the essence, the soul, like water spraying from a fountain imbedded in misty memory, some knowing brought forward from way back in antiquity. Some have construed that trying to understand Jagadguru Babaji is like attempting to bring the formless God into the solidarity of world view.
From Unity With The Divine, Utpalavati writes in the Foreword: “Throughout human history the eternally snow-capped peaks of the sacred Himalayan Mountains of India traditionally have been known as the home of the Immortal Gods. Those spiritually blessed mountains are the home sphere of the eternal, youthful form and spirit of the Physical-Light-Being known as Jagadguru Maha Avatar Babaji. For centuries many have encountered the Immortal Babaji and subsequently identified him by various names. The names most attributed to him in present day are Jagadguru Maha Avatar Babaji and the Immortal Babaji. Jagad means world and guru means teacher—world teacher. Maha means great and Avatar means the decent of divinity into physical form—Maha Avatar. Babaji means revered father and immortal means one who lives forever—World Teacher, Immortal Jagadguru Maha Avatar Babaji.
”Babaji may appear human at will and is reported to take many forms that have the ability to be in one or more places simultaneously. Maha Avatar is an Immortal Universal Being and he does not exclusively adhere to any singular tradition, religion, country, race or creed. He embraces with great unconditional love all spiritual traditions, all of creation and all consciousness as One. All the forms of Babaji come and go at will. Many people throughout the ages have interacted with him in the etheric, in seemingly physical form and in dreams, visions and meditations. All of Babaji’s forms exemplify divine attributes and he invariably bestows blessings and teachings to those whom he chooses to encounter.
“Traditionally Babaji’s mission includes assisting humankind to evolve at its own velocity into realizing Oneness-God. The resulting Universal Love Vibration will transform and return this world and its living beings into the original Divine blueprint of paradise on Earth—the prophetic Golden Era. Many have experienced that whenever one speaks with reverence the name of Babaji that person receives an instant spiritual blessing. Babaji offers humanity a glimpse of Divinity in physical form. He provides a conscious example of mankind’s own potential for transforming himself from maya, illusion, into the Divine Immortal that Babaji has exemplified down through the centuries—an eternal bridge between the Divine and mankind.”
In His Own Words:
Babaji writes in Unity With The Divine: “The various names attributed to me developed from certain divinely selected humans who came into contact with what appears to be my physical form roaming the mountain crags of the Himalayas in India and in the vicinity of those high mountain regions.
“Many synonyms for life exist in all Earth languages. For instance, from ancient times in Hinduism there have been thousands of stories of the Gods with many faces and names. Ganesha, the elephant-faced God has been given many attributes. Humans pray to obtain those same characterizes in their own lives. It is believed that Ganesha is the remover of obstacles. And so the psychological components of human anatomy allow the individual to attune his awareness to the attributes of Ganesha and during prayer, meditation or puja worship he may align with the Divine Principle exemplified in Ganesha and indeed obstacles may be transmuted. In a similar development to Ganesha, throughout the centuries, man has given me many names.
“I serve the Divine in the capacity of Good Will Ambassador to the world populations throughout the cycle of time in which you presently are living, the Kali Yuga, time of ignorance or darkness (now completing and simultaneously merging into the next age known as the Golden Age, the Sathya Age—the age of Truth). Throughout the centuries I have revealed myself to the few whom I choose to carry my message of Living Light of Love to those of mankind whom I am working with throughout their cycles of incarnations on Earth.”
