Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday extended greetings to people on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi and prayed that the festival brings renewed energy, enthusiasm, prosperity and happiness to their lives.
In a post on X, PM Modi said the sacred festival dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the “Remover of Obstacles”, should infuse new energy and enthusiasm into people’s lives and contribute to the country’s continued progress.
“Heartfelt Ganesh Chaturthi wishes to all my fellow citizens. May this sacred festival of darshan and worship of the Remover of Obstacles infuse new energy and fresh enthusiasm into everyone’s lives. May all endeavors succeed through His divine blessings, and may the nation continue to advance on the path of constant progress—this is my prayer. Ganpati Bappa Morya!” the Prime Minister said.
PM Modi also shared a Sanskrit verse in his post offering prayers to Lord Vinayaka and describing his divine attributes. The verse invokes the deity as the bearer of modakas, guide to liberation, wearer of the crescent moon, protector of the universe and the supreme lord, and prays for relief from the sorrows and afflictions of devotees.
