Vinayak Chaturthi 2025 Katha

According to mythology, Ganesha once had to perform a ritual to break the ego of the moon god. The moon once mocked Ganesha for his elephant-like face and large belly. This behavior enraged Ganesha, who cursed the moon god, saying that anyone who saw him on Chaturthi would face false accusations and bring shame upon their lives.

This curse by Ganesha caused the moon to lose its brightness, leaving it deeply distressed. All the gods were also alarmed by this incident. Some time later, Lord Krishna was falsely accused of stealing the Syamantaka gem. It is said that this accusation stemmed from his sighting of the moon on Vinayaka Chaturthi. To rid himself of the accusation, Lord Krishna observed a Chaturthi fast and worshipped Ganesha.

When the gods prayed to Ganesha to lift the curse, he said that while the curse could not be revoked completely, its effects could be mitigated. He added that anyone who worshiped him on Chaturthi and read or listened to this story would not be falsely accused and all their troubles would be removed.
