Secrets of Ganapati (Author - Keshav Sitaram Thackeray)

This article is taken from Keshav Sitaram Thackeray's book 'Dharmachi Devale and Devalcha Dharma'. In it, Bal Thackeray's father is claiming how the Hindu deity of Ganesha is imaginary.

Buddha is Ashtavinayak and "Ganapati Bappa Morya" is "Chandragupta Morya".

In the era of democracy, the head of state is the President. But in ancient India, there was a Gana culture in the monarchy and the head of that Gana was called Ganapati
(2/20)
In ancient India, a prince named Siddharth Gautam was born in royalty. He later became the king of Shakya Gana in this Gana culture. In time, Siddhartha attained enlightenment.

Let us now understand the difference between a real Ganapati and an imaginary Ganapati.
(3/20)
Some clever Brahmin manuvadis made the real Ganapati the imaginary Ganapati.

Buddha was the king of the Shakya Gana, so people called him Ganaraja. He founded Buddhism and became the head of the Shakyas. As the head of Gana, people used to call Buddha as Ganapati.
(4/20)
But the Brahmins Brahmanized Ganapati and created a false Ganapati. When Buddha used to give the message of Dharma to the people, two words would come out of his message. Chitta and Malla.

Chitta is the body.
Malla means waste
(5/20)
The Buddha used to say that remove waste from your body so that you will be free from sorrow.
But the Brahmin community misinterpreted this and asked Parvati to remove dirt from her body and make a child out of it.
(6/20)
Buddha was a Nagavanshi. In Pali, nag means elephant. I mean, Buddha was from the elephant family. When Buddha's mother Mahamaya was asleep, an elephant came in her dream and announced that a prince would be born in your womb.
(7/20)
This means that the elephant is a symbol of the birth of the Buddha. Also, the elephant is a symbol of the Buddha's religion. Thus Buddha belongs to the elephant family. Therefore, the Brahmin community substituted Parvati's son as an elephant.

Why not rat or bull?

Ashtavinayak:

Buddha was the first to say that there is sorrow in the world and the Buddha himself gave eight ways to eradicate sorrow. In ancient India, it was the Buddha himself who proved that suffering is eradicated through the eightfold path of the Buddha.
(9/20)
He who followed the Ashtanga path was freed from sorrow and became happy forever.

Buddha destroyed sorrow and Buddha brought happiness. People called Buddha a 'Sukhkarta' and a 'Dukhharta'

The Brahmin community used the same words for self-created imaginary Ganapati.
(10/20)
The Buddha was called Ashtavinayaka, perfect with eight vinayas.

Can Ganpati,who was born out of violence, be a bringer of happiness?

There is no evidence that the imaginary Ganapati attained enlightenment and discovered the eightfold path that destroys suffering.
(11/20)
So how can a fictional Ganapati eradicate sorrow and bring happinees?

The Buddha invented the Ashtashila of the eight ways, the Ashtanga paths, to eradicate misery.
(12/20)
The Brahmin community called the imaginary Ganapati Ashtavinayak. Ganapati is none other than Buddha.
The Brahmin community destroyed the Buddha's existence by making an imaginary Ganapati. By creating false god, they increased their and their God's superiority

The Brahmins enslaved the Bahujan Samaj.

Moraya:

Later, Chandragupta Maurya became the Ganapati of the Maurya dynasty. The Brahmins proclaimed "Ganapati Bappa Maurya". There is still confusion in Indian society about the word Maurya.
(14/20)
In Karnataka, Chandragupta Maurya preached Jainism, so many people in the region used the word Maurya after their own names.

The surname More in Maharashtra is also a corruption of the Maurya dynasty. Saint Tukaram was More.
(15/20)
In the 14th century, the word 'Morya' was added to the name of a Morya Gosavi. The Brahmans murdered Sant Tukaram and the Peshwas murdered Shivaji. The Brahmans then set on a path of destroying Buddhist Shrines.
(16/20)
In Karla's Buddhist Cave, Buddha Mata Mahamaya was given the form of Brahmani Ekvira Devi.Junnar's buddha vihar was converted into 'Lenyadri', an imaginary Ganpati Shrine. They also desecrated Shelarwadi vihar by installing a Shivling
(17/20)
The truth is ancient India was Buddhist. Emperor Ashoka had converted the whole of India to Buddhism after Buddha.

But the Brahmins ended the dynasty of Ashoka and falsified the ideas in Buddhism. Brahmins gave birth to 33 type of gods.
(18/20)
The Brahmins brahminized the word Ganapati and gave birth to false Ganapati.

In the name of fictional Ganapati, the whole society was immersed in superstition. In the name of festival, Brahmins exploited the society. Brahmins gain wealth by worshiping false Ganapati.
(19/20)
Our wealth is taken by Brahmins for every festival.

Don't be surprised if you find it Anti-Hindu. Keshav Thackeray was a known Hindu Hate. There cannot be a bigger joke than calling his son a Hinduhrudaysamrat.

More from India

In his letters describing the India Mission, Carey has given us an insight into how the society functioned then, of how the minds of the people worked and what methods the missionaries used to approach and brainwash the common people.


It is entirely possible that,Carey in his arrogance of being the white man and hence more civilized,his inability to under the Hindu scriptures and his natural disdain for the learned community coupled with his inherent hatred for the idolaters may have exaggerated the incidents.

In fact, considering the venom with which he has spoken about Hinduism and it's practices, it's likely that he has exaggerated these incidents. But it cannot be denied that these incidents did happen even if they may not have been on scale at which Carey has described.

One of his journal entry mentions a debate which happened in a temple in front of around 200 people. Carey describes having debated with two learned men and goes on to say when both learned men failed to answer his questions, he went on to preach the gospel to the assembled crowd


In a letter dated 30th June,1795 he goes on to gleefully narate how Hindus were unaware of their own scriptures and how an supposed expert named a grammar book when he was questioned as which scripture said that the Murti is God.

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।
