Significance of Sankashti Chaturthi:📿
Sankata" refers to all our hurdles or obstacles. "Hara" means to ward off. Hence, "Sankatahara" means to remove obstacles. Read another way, "sama" means "balance" or "stability" or "peace", and "kata" means to cut. Do you know, the English word Cut is derived from the Sanskrit world "Kata". Hence, "Sankatahara" also means removing all that which cause instability in and around you.*
*The four fold path, which are the "Truth of Suffering", "Truth of the Cause of Suffering", "Truth of the End of Suffering" and "Truth of the Path that leads to the End of Suffering", which incidentally are exactly those which form the basis of Buddhism and leads one towards the 8 fold path.*
*Lord Ganpati is the one who bestows all the above. Do you know Lord Ganpati is very closely associated with Buddism? And praying him on the Chaturthi day bestows one with supreme happiness, joy, bliss and all around success.
