KATHAM️
Thus, tomorrow’s (this Wednesday’s) gaṇéśā caturti is unique not only because it’s on the weekday dedicated to our incisively🗡sharp🧠intellect🧐 (budh-vār), but also immediately follows a martian👽celebration🥳of👩👧maternal👩👦strength [today’s/Tuesday’s gauri habbā].
Moreover, gaṇéśā caturti 2022 occurs on Aug 31st & is thus exactly on the eve of the🇮🇳nation’s annual nutrition month [Sep 1-30, pōṣan māh]. Finally, it’s in the year just before the United🇺🇳Nations’ first-ever International Year of Millets 2023, an idea 💡proposed by the🌏world’s oldest & largest millet producer:🇮🇳bhārat & promptly accepted by more than 70 nations🌍worldwide🌎repeating the 8-year old history of the International Day of🧘🏻♀️Yōgā. Hence VasanthiMā’s choice of a nutrition-packed gaṇéśā-murugā song this week.
But that’s for the morrow… for now, here’s VasanthiMā & my celebration of gauri gaṇéśā habbā, the first ever video on katham after introducing it… it’s been a fantastic journey or rather yātrā of two years with y’all & we look forward to many more in inner discoveries as sādhaks! https://youtu.be/amWwnZgQvUE
सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके । शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥
sarva-maṅgala-māṅgalyé śi-vé sarv-ārtha-sādhike, śaraṇye try-ambaké gauri nār-āyaṇi namo’stu té.
