Today 4 Muhurtas to bid farewell to Ganpati Bappa

Ganpati Visarjan Shubh Muhurat 2022: Today is Anant Chaturdashi. After worshiping Ganesha for 10 days, the idols will be immersed today. Although there is no mention of the immersion of the idol of Ganesha in the texts, but it happens due to traditions. This tradition has started from the story of Veda Vyas and Ganesh ji who wrote the Mahabharata. In which the heat had increased in the body of Ganesh ji while writing the Mahabharata, then Vyas ji gave him a bath. Since then it is believed that after the establishment of Ganpati, immersion should be done.

Today there are 4 Muhurtas of Ganpati Visarjan. You can immerse Ganpati in it as per your convenience. But keep in mind that this work should be done before sunset. According to the scriptures, idols are not immersed after sunset. We found out from the country's well-known astrologers and experts of religious texts about the method and Muhurta to send Ganpati away... Know what they have to say?

It is okay to immerse yourself at home. On this, quoting from the Brahmapuran and Mahabharata, it is said that it is blamed for dirtying the rivers. Therefore, filling a pot or a new big vessel with water, Ganesh ji should be immersed in it.

Plant a sapling after immersion because it is auspicious time

Dr. Mishra explains that on this day there is a time for planting trees and plants due to the presence of Ghetnisha and Shatabhisha Nakshatra. Because Varahamihira has mentioned some special constellations for planting trees and plants in the texts. Two of those constellations will remain on September 9. Therefore, after Ganpati immersion, it will be auspicious to plant Tulsi, Neem, Ashok, Amla or any revered tree and plant in the same soil.

Explaining why immersion is done in water, Dr. Bhargava says that water is one of the five elements. By dissolving in it, the iconic idol of Pran merges into its original element. It is through water that the corporeal form of Lord Ganesha becomes formless. It is also a symbol of oneness of God. Hence the importance of immersion in water.

According to a legend related to this, Maharishi Ved Vyas was looking for a good writer to write Mahabharata. Then Ganeshji agreed for this. But he also put a condition that as long as the Maharishi speaks without stopping, he will also continue to write. Ved Vyas started reciting Mahabharata from the day of Ganesh Chaturthi. Ganeshji continued to write the story for 10 consecutive days. Ganeshji's body temperature had increased due to continuous writing till the completion of the story. Maharishi Ved Vyas bathed him in the lake. It was the day of Anant Chaturdashi. Hence the tradition of idol immersion began.

Dr. Bhargava says that this year the resolution taken to do good deeds and leave evil with Ganesha's establishment. After Ganpati Visarjan, a new beginning should be started with this. If Ganpati comes, he brings good fortune and prosperity. The time of new beginning starts with immersion to work hard for the whole year to get it. Which lasts till the installation of Ganesha next year.
