n Bhadrapada month during August-September, Ganesh Chathurthi falls on fourth day of the bright fortnight acoording to the Hindu calendar. It is the birthday of Lord Ganesha.
By his mother, it was on one of his birthdays that Ganesha was overfed with a variety of twenty one sweet and delicacies porridge. Shakti Parvati. Ganesha mounted his little mouse and set out on his nocturnal rounds only to stumble upon a huge snake. In order to contain his huge and food filled belly he immediately strapped the snake around like a waist belt.
When he saw the moon mock at him from the sky then in a fit of great anger, Ganesha suddenly dislodged one of his strong tusks and flung it at the moon with full strength which directly hid behind the clouds. Ganesha cursed the moon by saying, “Let no one look at your face on my birthday. “If anyone looks at you knowingly or unknowingly, they will be totally misunderstood both in neighborhoods and in the family circle for no reason whatsoever.”
The direct symbolic and meaningful note behind Lord’s big belly, the mouse, snake and the moon is a philosophic relationship. Her twenty one dishes relate to the seven lokas above, seven lokas below and the seven oceans packed in the belly and strapped by the cosmic energy Kundalini in the form of a huge snake by the Lord. The entire Cosmos is like the God’s belly powered by primordial energy from Shakti Parvati.
The mouse is merely our ego that is controlled by our Self Consciousness the way Lord Ganesha controls the mouse creating God-consciousness.
The direct malice shown by the moon that particular day could immediately distract a man from concentrating on God. Lord Ganesha justly punished moon by hurling his tusk reminding everyone that moon can create evil moods in man. On his birthday avoidance of moon is hence, symbolic.
