Ganesha Chavithi & Ramadan & 9/11 – on same single day on 11-Sep-2010




Ganesha Chavithi & Ramadan & 9/11 – on same single day on 11-Sep-2010
Together celebrated and remembered.
While Ganesha Puja considered as the Birth celebrations of Ganesha, Ramadan is celebrated as the dedication to the GOD and belief in strict discipline to the religion and 9/11 as fight against fundamentalist terrorism.
1. Ganesha Puja
Ganesha is considered as the GOD for preventing Vignas (Obstacles), one who supports the students for the education, who provides Budhi.
Ganesha celebrations started way back with 9 days of social celebrations in the colonies. This was basically initiated by Bala Gangadhara Tilak in Maharashtra during Independence war – to instigate unity among the different sections of Hindus, thus it spread across almost the whole nation now and became a major celebrations.
As long as these celebrations take place in peaceful manner – that is fine.
2. Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. The Month of Ramadan is also when it is believed the Holy Quran "was sent down from heaven, guidance unto men, a declaration of direction, and a means of Salvation".

During the Fast of Ramadan strict restraints are placed on the daily lives of Muslims. They are not allowed to eat or drink during the daylight hours. Smoking and sexual relations are also forbidden during fasting. At the end of the day the fast is broken with prayer and a meal called the iftar. In the evening following the iftar it is customary for Muslims to go out visiting family and friends. The fast is resumed the next morning.

According to the Holy Quran:

One may eat and drink at any time during the night "until you can plainly distinguish a white thread from a black thread by the daylight: then keep the fast until night"
The good that is acquired through the fast can be destroyed by five things -
1. The telling of a lie
2. Slander
3. Denouncing someone behind his back
4. A false oath
5. Greed or covetousness


These are considered offensive at all times, but are most offensive during the Fast of Ramadan.
Perhaps Muslims that too in the month of Ramadan show how a belief can be put into practice with strict determination – the same holiness should be carried forward entire the world, across the globe – then the peace will prevail automatically.

3. 9/11 Terrorism:

This is a known incident across the world. Almost a decade passed. The Al-Qaeda has spread an innovative way of terrorism and causing a panic across the world since then.

Thousands died. Twin towers destroyed. Pentagon was almost smashed. Whitehouse could have been attacked. Only places that were not targeted at that point of time were NASA, Hollywood…

Since then all neighboring countries of Muslim terrorist countries are paying price for the terrorists, spending lot of money for the security, living on knife edge.

The terrorist and rouge nations like Iraq, Afzanistan, Pakistan, Libiya… are supporting these Terrorist groups.

Also US paid on its own coin by cunningly supporting these groups which are not causing harm to them but causing harm to India, Russia etc. Even now also they are still supporting Pakistan and not heeding to India. It is no longer for US to face such attacks again. They need to be impartial.
