-::- Happy Masik Vinayaka Chaturthi -::- Tithi : Chaturthi / 10th August 2013 / Shanivar - Saturday / Vikram Samvat : 2070 / Hindu Purnimanta Month : Shravana / Hindu Amanta Month : Shravana / Paksha : Shukla Paksh ll ॐ वक्रतुंड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ ll ll निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा ll Maening: O Lord Ganesha, of Curved Trunk, Large Body, and with the Brilliance of a Million Suns, Please Make All my Works Free of Obstacles, Always. I like to observe the fast on every Chaturthi Vinayak Chaturthi & Sankashti Chaturth.... Each lunar month in Hindu calendar has two Chaturthi Tithis. According to Hindu scriptures Chaturthi Tithi(s) belongs to Lord Ganesha. The Chaturthi after Amavasya or new moon during Shukla Paksha is known as Vinayaka Chaturthi and the one after Purnimasi or full moon during Krishna Paksha is known as Sankashti Chaturthi. Although Vinayaka Chaturthi fasting is done every month but the most significant Vinayaka Chaturthi falls in month of Bhadrapada. Vinayaka Chaturthi during Bhadrapada month is known as Ganesha Chaturthi. Ganesha Chaturthi is celebrated by Hindus all over the world as the birthday of Lord Ganesha. Devotees of Lord Ganesha keep fast from sunrise to moonrise on Sankashti Chaturthi. Sankashti means deliverance during troubled times. Lord Ganesha, the supreme lord of intelligence, symbolizes the remover of all obstacles. Hence it is believed that one can get rid of all obstacles by observing this fast. The fast is supposed to be strict and only fruit, roots (the part of a plant which is below ground) and vegetable products are supposed to be consumed. The staple Indian diet on Sankashti Chaturthi includes Sabudana Khichadi, potato and peanuts. Devotees break the fast at night after sighting of the moon. Om Shree Ganeshayeh Namah
