Goddess Parvati instructed her young son, Ganesha to guard the door while she bathed. He obediently followed his mother's command, not even letting his father Lord Shiva an entry into the Goddess' bathing area. This argument turned into a fight between the father and the son that led to the beheading of Ganesha. Later, Lord Shiva resurrected the boy after placing an elephant's head on his body.
'Duty is above everything'. A lesson all devotees must learn from Lord Ganesha. During this pandemic, the frontline workers continue to toil, make sacrifices putting duty at fore to make life smoother for rest. All we can do is reciprocate by following instructions and making their task smoother.
This Ganesh Chaturthi, we thank all the frontline workers and hope you practice the duty-first approach for the sake of society and your loved ones.
Wish you everlasting health, wealth and success.
