Why did Lord Ganesha curse the Moon?

 

As we all know Lord Ganesha loves to eat and because of that his stomach is very  prominent. It’s believed that one day Lord Ganesha was invited to a big feast, and to show him their devotion to Lord Ganesha, they had to prepare varieties of special sweets and his favourite dishes. That day Lord Ganesha  ate till everything got over. Due to overeating his stomach was swollen and a huge tummy was visible. So he decided to leave at night so no one could notice his huge bouncy stomach.

At night when Lord Ganesha was on his way, he heard a loud laughing sound and he saw that the shining moon was laughing at his stomach. Because of the moon's satirical laughter Lord Ganesha got embarrassed and angry. He cursed the moon that his shine will be lost forever from the day onwards.

The moon begged for pardon to the Lord Ganesha. After some time Lord Ganesha calmed down, but unfortunately the curse cannot be taken back. So Lord Ganesha proclaimed that the moon will grow thinner each day and get invisible for one day in a month.

That day we call it Amavasya, and this day is considered as inauspicious day in the Hindu calendar

It may sound factual, “I won’t get the raise,” prudent, “If I try, I’ll fail,” or like a realistic observation, “I am all alone.” Negative self-talk hinders our healing, growth, evolution, and ascension, creating adverse outcomes for ourselves and our lives.   We all have an occasional dark cloud floating across our clear mental skies. However, it can’t rain every day! The more negative thoughts we have, the more ne...

Surrendering a policy: When should you do it — and should you at all?

Hi There, Individuals must look at the reason for surrender — whether they need the money or they think they can't make future premium payments — and accordingly make their decision... It is ironical that at a time when one is in desperate need of his/ her money, while surrendering a traditional policy (endowment or money back), policyholders in the majority of cases end up with a surrender value that is even lower than the premiums paid. Post pandemic the economy, and livelihoods, 2021-22-23witnessed a sharp spike in insurance policies being surrendered ahead of their maturity. Data show that more than  2.3 crore life insurance policies were surrendered  during the year — more than three times the number of policies (69.78 lakh) surrendered in 2020-21.
