With the blessings of our Guruji, we are about to conduct the 16 forms of Ganesha ritual at our places. This is a very big day and very auspicious day for the Ganapatyas. Ganapatyas are people who believe that Ganapati is the almighty. Hinduism can be classified or differentiated in six ways, Shaivas, people who believe that Shiva is the almighty, Vaishnavas, people who believe that Vishnu is the almighty, Shaktas, people who believe that Shakti is the almighty, Kaumaras, people who believe that Kumara or Subramaniya is the almighty, Sauras, people who believe that Surya is the almighty and finally Ganapatyas, people who believe that Ganapati is the almighty. Today, the Ganapatyas believe that Ganapati comes to the earth to bless people with prosperity, wealth and happiness. But this is what is being told to the normal people, people who are so stuck in the worldly materialistic life and who cannot move into the spiritual life because they are bound by their feelings, emotions and their relatives. So, people who seek spiritual knowledge, there is a special definition, a unique definition for this Ganesha Chaturthi. On this bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi, Ganesha comes to this earth to bless people with special knowledge, a unique consciousness, a state called 'Bramhisthiti'. The Bramhisthiti is a state in which the Atma, the soul feels nothing, no emotions, no happiness, it is a peaceful calm state in which you do not feel anything and you do not have any thoughts. In the Bhagavad Gita, the Karma yoga, Krishna explains this to Arjuna. He says hey Partha, Partha is the son of Pritha maharaja, hey Partha, this Brahmi state, this consciousness can be attained even at the death bed, at any stage of life. So, this state, the Brahmi state, is what sages have been seeking for, they have been meditating for years, they have been conducting rituals and tapas for like years, years and years, millions of years to know about this Brahmi Siddhi, just to attain the Siddhi, just to get some knowledge about this Bhrami Sthiti. So, the Bhramisthiti is what every human would like to know about. So, this Bhramisthiti can be attained by praying towards Ganesha. Ganesha is like the ultimate bramhan, he is called Bhambanaspati, he is the ultimate Bramhan, so he is capable and he is the only person, who can give you, who can make you feel that Brahmisthiti, just by worshipping him. So, on this auspicious day let us concentrate and focus on the 16 forms of Ganeshas. The mantras will be recited; the Vedic hymns, praising and honoring the Ganesha will be recited. So, please feel Ganesha in your Mula dhara chakra. Close your eyes and please feel him in Mula dhara chakra. He comes down, he splits himself, he gets into the body of each and every soul over here in this earth, so feel him in your Mula dhara chakra. Pray for whatever you want and he will bless you with it because he is here today just to bless you. So, please concentrate fully on this ritual and may God bless you.

Hope you enjoyed the ritual and you felt the bliss of Ganapati, of Ganapati's blessings, 16 forms of Ganeshas were invoked starting from Bal Ganapati, Tarun Ganapati, Bhakti Ganapati, Lakshmi Ganapati, Maha Ganapati, Bhuvanesha Ganapati, Nritya Ganapati and Uurdha Ganapati, these are the 16 forms of Ganeshas. The 16 forms of Ganeshas were invoked in the fire as well as the pots, Vedic chants were chanted, especially Shukla Yajur Vedas, there are four Vedas namely, Yajur, Rig, Sama and Atharvana. In Yajur Veda there are two different Vedas, Krishna Yajur and Shukla Yajur and this Shukla Yajur Vedas were chanted specially and Krishna Yajur fire offerings were given and the final Atharvana words, the sage Atharva wrote down the final Atharvana veda mantra for Ganapati. He belongs to the Ganpatyas caste in Hindu religion. So, the finals words of the Atharva were chanted. It is to praise and honor the God himself. The names were read out and hope you felt the bliss while I read your names. So, with the blessings with our Guruji and with the blessings of Ganesha, we will have a new beginning, a new start not only for us but also for everybody, this is going to be a new beginning and I strongly say this that this new beginning will be filled with happiness, joys and laughter. The mistakes and the sins are being forgiven by the God himself and also by our Guru ji, the sins are being demolished. Right now coconuts are being broken all over the state just to demolish all of the sins and all of the mistakes that we intentionally or unintentionally did. So, those are being crashed and smashed right now. So, we are starting from scratch and this is going to a great beginning and it is going to be the beginning of a happy and a healthy life. May God bless you.
