Om Gan Ganapataya • Namah:
Hi! Remember me?? • I am Ganesha. A fun loving and happy go lucky God • How I love my planet and all those who live on it!!
Maati - chetyohar • This festival symbolizes harmony between humans and animals • After the monsoon you bring fresh earth (grass) home and worship it • It is my way of keeping you close to nature! • My visarjan symbolizes the cycle of life and death
Eco-Friendly Ganeshotsav • Each year, millions of my devotees bring me home and then after a few days bid me adieu with lots of fanfare and pomp! • What I would love is if they didn’t pollute the rivers and lakes that are so dear to me!!
About the decorations • Please don’t use thermocol and other non-biodegradable material for the mandir and decorations • Make use of paper and cloth or flowers.! • Even plates and bowls made of supari leaves can be used • All the Nirmalaya can be put in the “kalash” shaped vessels provided by PMC on the river beds
As I write your future.. • If you follow a clean and green Ganeshotsav, I promise to write a wonderful future for you and your planet. • Be eco friendly. Be smart. Be safe.
Green Earth • Next time you send me back to heaven, please make use of the tanks placed next to water bodies. • I would love to be immersed in that water and spare the water world and all the little fish that I myself created.
Don’t use POP Idols… • The POP idols of me that you use today take several months to dissolve in water • Moreover the chemical colours used on them are harmful for the marine life and they get passed on to you through the food chain
Use clay Idols • These idols are made from clay or mud • The colours used are haldi, geru and multani mitti • The idols dissolve easily and only within a few hours • Since all material used is natural all my dear marine life is safe!
Ah….if only…. • If all the offerings given to me are used in a better way, wouldn’t we all be happier? • All the coconuts and prasad can be distributed among poor families. • All the flowers can be used to make compost which will make my earth more fertile! • You can also make natural colour from the flowers
