********************************************************

“Ganapati (Sanskrit: gaṇapati), a synonym for Ganesha, is a compound composed of Gaṇa =गण
, meaning “group”, and pati, पती meaning “ruler” or “lord”.”

Bappa: बाप्पा= father /uncle /Lord

“All join in this final procession shouting “Ganapathi Bappa Morya, Pudhchya Varshi Laukar ya” (O father/Lord Ganesha, come again speedily next year). “

“Morya Gosavi was a 15th century[ 1442 A.D.-1531 A.D.] saint of the Ganapatya/ गाणपत्य sect. He was a great devotee of Ganesha. He built the Mayureshwar temple at Morgaon, near Pune. The starting of the Ashtavinayak /अष्ट विनायक pilgrimage is attributed to him. The slogan Ganapati Bappa Morya/गणपती बाप्पा मोरया is attributed to him. He took sanjeevan samadhi /सम्जीवन समाधी at Chinchwad, Pune in 1531 A.D..”
He was called Moryaa ,as he established the Mayureshwar > Morgav Temple .

“Mangalmurti : ‘Man’ means complete and glu-gayate means the one endowing Serenity or purity. That which purifies both internally as well as externally is auspicious (mangal). An image bringing auspiciousness is thus Mangalmurti. In Maharashtra ‘Mangalmurti morya’ is used to proclaim Ganapati’s glory. The word Morya in it refers to a famous devotee of Lord Ganesh in the fifteenth century called Morya Gosavi, from Chinchvad, near Pune. This depicts the inseparable relationship between God and a devotee.”

“What is the significance of the term “Ganapati Bappa Morya”?

Devotees chant Ganapati Bappa Morya all the time to sing the praises of Lord Ganesh. But how many of them know what the word Morya signify? The word Morya /मोरया refers to a famous devotee of Lord Ganesh in the fourteenth century called Morya Gosavi मोरया गोसावी , from Chinchvad चिंचवाड [ now चिचवड ] near Pune who invoked the Lord with severe penance.

He attained siddhi सिद्धी (special powers and blessings) at Shree Chintamani and his son built the temple to commemorate the event.It is said that Moryaji also performed penances at Siddhi Vinayak in कर्णावती / Ahmedabad and in Moreshwar/Mayureshwar मोरेश्वर /मयुरेश्वर at Moregoan मोरगावwhere he also built the temple. Thus this depicts the inseparable relationship between God and His devotee.”

“Many sages like Tukaram Maharaj /तुकाराम महाराज and others have endorsed Moraya Gosavi as one who merged with Ganapati.!

For devotees, praying to Moraya Gosavi means praying to Lord Ganesh!”

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all !!!
