Each lunar month in Hindu calendar has two Chaturthi Tithis. The one after Purnima or full moon during Krishna Paksha is known as Sankashti Chaturthi and the one after Amavasya or new moon during Shukla Paksha is known as Vinayaka Chaturthi. Devotees of Ganesha observe fast on Sankashti Chaturthi every month. If Sankashti Chaturthi falls on Tuesday it is called Angarki Chaturthi which is highly auspicious.

Shri Ganesha is adored and worshipped across the world and throughout time. In Egypt sculptures of Ganesha were found in excavation sites, indicating His worship in ancient times. The Greeks and Romans were known to worship Ganesh in the name of Vignahar. In Cambodia, Japan, China, Burma, Tibet, Sri Lanka and several other countries, Ganesha is worshipped in both the Shiva and Buddhist traditions. Excavations in Russia, America and China also found Ganesha sculptures. Clearly Lord Ganesha’s worship has not been limited to India, but is practiced worldwide.

✨In the Shri Ganesha Purana, Ganesha is described in each Yuga.

🐘Kruta Yuga – Ganesha appeared with 10 hands and is sitting on a Lion (indicating that Lord Ganesha appeared as Adi Parashakti with 10 hands), as Heramba.
🐘Treta Yuga – Ganesha appeared with 6 hands sitting on a peacock, as Vinayaka.
🐘Dwapara Yuga – Ganesha appeared with 4 hands and with an elephant face, as Gajanana.
🐘Kali Yuga – Ganesha appeared with 2 hands, a white body and with the radiance of the white rays of Sun, as Gajanana.

✨Bhagiratha worshipped Ganesha in order to bring Ganga onto the earth. Lord Indra worshipping Ganesh before starting the battle with Vitrasura. Sri Rama worshipped Ganesh before going to battle with Ravanasura. It is impossible to achieve any success in life without worshipping Lord Ganesha. In the Kali Yuga all the mantras are locked except Sri Ganesha (Vinayaka) and Sri Chandi mantras. These mantras grants us every kind of wish in the Kali Yuga. ✨🕉🐘📿🌎🙏
