Visarjan and the idea behind it !!!

 Suddenly my sister asked me do i know the age old tradition and the concept of Visarjan. Well lemme give you the story behind the question she asked. Well my talkative sister is excited about this  Ganesh Puja. She stays in Mumbai and for the first time she went to visit the famous puja or murti of lalbaugcha raja for darshan and the destination took her 14 hrs (9am-11pm). I appreciate her effort. But what she got worried about after the visit is she forgot to ask for mannat (=))). We are not suppose to laugh people. Love you sis. Back to the story. Well she asked and as i dint know the concept was feeling bit ashamed. Me being a communication specialist( supposedly) dint know this simple idea or the tale behind Visarjan. Thanks to my sister's research she forwarded me this article which am posting on behalf of her. God Bless all!!!

CONCEPT BEHIND VISARJan (1/2)-- Hindus worship Brahman or the Supreme Soul present in all animate and inanimate. But for majority of the people it is not possible to worship this formlessness. They need a form to pray to, to seek help, to cry and to take blessings.Each person brings Ganesha in clay idol form into the home. This is the Supreme Being arriving at home. After the celebrations, it is time to accept the eternal cosmic law that which took form has to become formless again. It is a never ending cycle.Each year Ganesha arrives to teach us that forms change but the Supreme Truth remains the same. Body perishes but Brahman residing in it remains constant.The act also symbolizes the concept of Moksha.Moksha – freedom – no clinging, not even to gods.’

Thus we create Ganesha out of clay, worship it and later it is submerged (Visarjan)

Some corrections:

Jerry: this time i stood in mannat ka line
