Today is Ganesh Chaturthi. This time, an auspicious yoga named Sumukh is being formed on Ganpati installation. This is also a name of Ganeshji. Along with this, Parijata, Budhaditya and Sarvarthasiddhi yoga are being formed. Astrologers believe that the auspicious results of Ganpati installation will increase further in this Chaturmaha yoga.
Today there will be 3 auspicious times throughout the day for Ganpati installation and worship. It is customary to install the idol before sunset. According to Ganesh Puran, Ganpati was born on Chaturthi Tithi and Chitra Nakshatra during the afternoon. This auspicious time is starting from 11.20 am.
According to the scriptures, Ganeshji has many forms, but on this Ganesh Chaturthi which falls in the month of Bhadon, it is customary to worship Ganeshji in the form of Siddhi Vinayak. Lord Vishnu worshipped this form of Ganeshji and also gave him this name.
If you are unable to perform the puja with so many things, then follow a small puja method
- Make a Swastika on the Chowki and put a pinch of rice on it. Place a betel nut wrapped in Mauli on it. Worship Ganesha with these betel nuts. If you are not able to do even this, then just offering Modak and Durva with devotion and bowing down also brings God's blessings.
What to do if you are unable to do Ganesh installation and worship for some reason… Chanting just three mantras of Ganpati every day during the entire Ganeshotsav also brings virtue. After taking a bath in the morning, one should read the mantras of Ganeshji, bow down and then leave for office, shop or any other work.
