Our most beloved deity Ganesha is coming soon and we have to get ready to welcome him with all our hearts and passion. Ganesh chaturthi is our favorite festival, it is also most popular festival in India. We want to do everything to please lord Ganesha as he is the one whom we first pray before starting anything new in life. He removes obstacles and clears our path and blesses us. He is also the one who gives us knowledge and wisdom to get success in life. We pray him and ask his blessings on every occasion. Most of the devotees wait eagerly for Ganesh chaturthi festival. They celebrate this festival with lot of enthusiasm, passion and devotion. Many people want to know how to prepare and clean their home for the arrival of their favorite Bappa.
Ganesh chaturthi is arriving in few days, people start getting anxious. They don’t think they are ready for celebrations as on this fest god visit our homes and offices although it is for a very short duration but everything needs to be perfect, so that we don’t have to regret later. We may ask our beloved Bappa for forgiveness and as Bappa is full of wisdom he surely forgives all our sins. But why to take a risk when we can do some prior planning and avoid repent later.
- Most people start preparation with home cleaning. It’s a best way to start. We should also clean our hearts and minds too and remove all negativity.
- First thing is to plan for the arrival of Bappa. Plan carefully what you need to clean on priority. If you do not prioritize, it will waste your valuable time.
- De-clutter your whole house and remove all unwanted things from rooms. It will also help you to de-clutter your mind and you will feel fresh.
- Once you have decided to start cleaning, do it in one stretch. Do not postpone it as you may forget many things which need your immediate attention.
- Clean kitchen on priority. It is the place where you will be preparing all the favorite dishes of Bappa. It’s very essential to make kitchen hygienic. Clean all the corners of your kitchen from cook top to every utensil. You will also have lots of guest visiting your house during this festival.
- Make his favorite modak, buy everything in prior to perform puja during Ganesha chaturthi.
All these steps will create a very spiritual atmosphere in your home. People would get a same feeling as visiting temple after visiting your house. It should be that way; we should be very careful and keep our house as much as clean to make it feel sacred. This is the best time to teach children about our tradition and importance of cleaning. They will learn to respect our traditions and follow them in the future.
