Wherever or whenever we worship God Ganesh , we usually say "ganpati bappa moreya " . Today I am writing about this.
Ganpati is another name of God Ganesh .
Bappa means baap or father .
Moreya is the aberration of the word mourya .
Now who is this mourya ?
Mourya was the devotee of God Ganesh . When mourya was a kid , his father gave him some laddus and asked him to offer them to God Ganesh of nearby temple .
Innocent Mourya had always thought that when we offer something , God himself comes and accept it .
Likewise , Mourya arranged the laddus infront of idol of God Ganesh and requested him to accept them . There was no response from God . Mourya thought maybe because of shyness , God is hesitating to come out .
So he hid in the corner silently and allowed God Ganesh to eat the laddus . Time passed but God Ganesh didn't come to eat the laddus . Now Mourya got anxious .
He thought God Ganesh is angry on him and that's why he is not coming to have laddus offered by him . Mourya asked for the apology with God Ganesh . He begged for forgiveness in his own different manners .
But all are not of any use . Finally Mourya threatened God Ganesh that if Ganesh don't come to eat laddus , he will bang his head against the wall .
But still no response . Mourya started to bang his head against the wall . He didn't stop when blood started to ooze out of the head . At that time , there was a bright light from idol . God Ganesh himself has arrived by listening to the innocent prayer of his devotee .
Mourya was very happy by seeing God Ganesh . He offered laddus to God Ganesh . God Ganesh ate some laddus and asked Mourya to have laddus with him . Now it is time to return . God Ganesh and Mourya both returned to their home .
Seeing Mourya returning , his worried parents hurriedly came near him . They saw some pieces of laddus around Mourya's mouth and also the plate of laddus is empty .
They thought Mourya has eaten all the laddus by himself without offering them to God . But Mourya said that God Ganesh himself has come and has eaten the laddus .
But no one believed him . Everyone thought Mourya is lying . Mourya was firm about what is he saying . Everyone asked him to prove what he is saying . Mourya agreed .
All of them came to temple with Mourya holding the plate of laddus . Infront of everyone , Mourya kept the plate tladdus in front of idol of God Ganesh , and started praying .
But this time , God Ganesh didn't come to eat laddus . All the people accused Mourya of telling lies and demanded punishment for him . All of them dragged Mourya to nearby riverbed .
They tried to put Mourya under water . Soon Mourya sank in water . People were about leave . That time they observed a bright light flashing under the water .
Soon God Ganesh came outside holding Mourya's hand . By seeing that , people cheered for God Ganesh and also for Mourya . From that day onwards , people started to chant " gsnpati bappa moriya " remembering innocent devotion of Mourya also .
