	Ganesh Chaturthi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ganesh Chaturthi is an occasion or a day on which Lord Ganesha makes his presence on earth for all his devotees.
		It was around 1893, during the growth of nascent Indian nationalism, that the radical nationalist Bal Gangadhar Tilak began to organize the Ganesh Utsav as a social and religious function.
		This happens when the Ganesh procession uses those routes (usually as a result of lack of alternative routes due to factors like size of the procession, size of the Ganesh idol and/or the vehicle used to carry it, length of the route, etc.) that pass through places inhabited by other religious groups.

		Ganesh is shown as pot-bellied, partly because he loves sweetmeats; he also sometimes holds sweets in one of his hands.
		Ganesh has four arms, and holds a rosary, a goad showing his authority, and a noose showing the need to resist being led by desires, even though he has the power to grant them.
		His birthday is celebrated with the festival of Ganesha Caturthi, when small clay models of Ganesh are purchased and used in ceremonies of worship, including immersion in the sea.

	Chapter 10
		Ganesh is the head of this Rudra Gana.
		Viswamji, in a lighter vein, humorously says that Ganesh would drive away the evil forces with his trunk which hangs on his front side and Hanuman would drive away the evil forces with his tail which is at his back.
		Hence idol of Ganesh should be installed on the front side of the house where as that of Hanuman should be installed at the backside of the house.

		In Hinduism, Ganesha (Gaṇeśa, "lord of the hosts," also spelled Ganesa and sometimes referred to as Ganesh in Hindi, Bengali and other Indian languages) is a son of Shiva and Parvati, and the husband of Bharati, Riddhi and Siddhi.
		Yet another myth is that, in the process of writing the Mahabharata (at the dictation of Vyasa), Ganesh found that his pen had broken, and in the urgency of taking down the great words, snapped off his left tusk as a replacement quill.
		Ganesha is known as Aumkara, because his body mirrors the shape of the Aum, the elephant god is thus seen as the embodiment of the cosmos.

		: so i do not know where from the custom of prohibition to use : tulasi for ganesh has come, since the above clearly shows : that tulasi is one of the approved leaves for worshiping : ganesha.
		Actually, the tulsi leaves, I think are exclusively used for the worship of Sri Vishnu.

		If even at least 30% of the Indians followed the spiritual precepts, India would be a much richer and greater country.
		Hinduism does not mean doing poojas and asking for wishes or carrying trishuls(in the case of VHP) or putting loud songs on Ganesh Chaturdhi, it teaches how a man should conduct his life according to the law of karma and grow spiritually with each experience in his life
		P.S. This is my opinion only, please feel welcome to post u'r own comments
