The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi was celebrated across the country on Saturday, September 7. On this day, people establish Bappa in every house and pandal. From big celebs to common people, everyone takes Bappa to their home with great pomp. On the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, people establish Bappa in their homes for ten days. This festival becomes more beautiful when there are children in the house.
Actually, children consider Bappa as their friend. In such a situation, they bring him to their home with great enthusiasm. In such a situation, if you have installed Ganpati at home, then it is important to teach children some special things about this important event, so that they can understand this tradition and its importance. Actively involving children in Ganpati installation and worship will not only increase their religious and cultural knowledge, but they will also feel connected to these traditions.
Importance of Lord Ganesha
If you have established Bappa, then first of all tell your child his importance. For this, you can tell them stories related to Lord Ganesha. Tell the children why he is worshipped at the beginning of every work, so that whenever they do any auspicious work, they remember Lord Ganesha themselves.
Explain the importance behind the establishment
Nowadays Bappa is established in almost every house, but even after that many people do not know the story behind it. In such a situation, tell your child the story behind Bappa's arrival from the beginning. Along with this, give them information about the rituals done during the installation of the idol.
Teach mantras and method of worship
Sing aarti and mantras yourself in front of the children. Explain to the children the importance of chanting mantras during worship. Teach simple mantras like "Om Gan Ganpataye Namah" and explain their meaning, so that they remember it.
Teach environmental protection as well
Nowadays such idols are available in the market, whose immersion does not harm the environment. In such a situation, tell your children that the idol of Ganpati should be made from eco-friendly material, so that the environment is not harmed after immersion.
Give the message of cooperation and unity
This is a festival in which people worship Bappa together. In such a situation, definitely teach these lessons to the children. Teach children to work together with the family, decorate together, and prepare prasad.
Importance of immersion
Along with the arrival of Ganpati, it is also important for them to know the importance of immersion. In such a situation, explain the religious and cultural importance of Ganpati immersion to your child. Also teach them that immersion should be done in an environmentally conscious manner.
