Today, Ganpati immersion is celebrated with great pomp and ceremony across the country. Ganesh Visarjan is the final and important phase of Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, during which the idol of Lord Ganesh is immersed in water. This process takes place at the end of the ten-day long Ganesh Utsav. However, some people still do the immersion even after 1, 5, 3, 5 or 7 days of Ganesh Sthapana. The main purpose of the immersion is to bid farewell to Lord Ganesha with respect. It is believed that he will come again next year to bring happiness, prosperity and knowledge in the lives of the devotees. Let us tell you about three divine remedies on the occasion of Ganesh Visarjan.
1. Lessons from Gajendra Moksha
It is believed that the Pandavas gained their lost kingdom by fasting on Anant Chaturdashi. Shri Krishna told the Pandavas about this. The Pandavas followed this fast along with Draupadi. Reciting Gajendra Moksha on this day is considered very beneficial. By reciting Gajendra Moksha on this day, all the problems in life can be removed.
2. The Deva Rakshasa Sutra
On the day of Anant Chaturdashi, a cotton or silk thread is painted with kumkum color and fourteen knots are tied on it. Later, it is tied on the wrist after worshipping through rituals. This thread tied on the wrist is called Anant. This thread is considered to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu and is also known as Rakshasa Sutra. These 14 knots are considered to be the symbolism of the 14 worlds of Lord Shri Hari. This infinite thread pleases Lord Vishnu and brings infinite results.
3. Divine Mantra
Chant the Lord Ganesha mantra while immersing in the Lord Ganesha idol. You can chant the mantras “Om Gana Ganapataye Namah” and “Om Shrim Hreem Klim Glaun Gang Ganapataye Varad Varad Sarvajanam Me Vashmanaya Swaha”. Chanting these mantras will bring peace and positivity in life.
How to do Ganpati Immersion?
Keep fast on Ganesh immersion day. If you cannot keep fast, then eat fruits. Worship the idol installed in the house properly. Offer coconut, shami leaves and dub during the puja and immerse the idol in water. If the idol is small, keep it on your lap or on your head. While carrying the idol, always spread the intact leaves offered to Lord Ganesha inside the house. Do not keep belts, watches or wallets nearby and carry the idol barefoot. Do not install or immerse plastic idols or pictures. Clay idols are best for immersion. After immersion, put your hands together and pray to the elephant god Ganesha for happiness and prosperity.
