Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most beloved festivals in India, celebrated to mark the birth of Lord Ganesha. Thousands of devotees across communities and families unite to welcome Lord Ganesha with devotion, traditional rituals, and prayers. As the god of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune, devotees strongly believe this festival brings positivity and blessings into their lives. Along with ancient traditions, crystals and chanting mantras also play a powerful role in seeking prosperity and peace.
Vaisshnavi Gupta, Founder of Nakshtra, Tarot reader, astrologer, numerologist, crystal healer, energy healer, switchwords guide, and Vastu advisor shares all you need to know:
The festivities begin with the installation of Lord Ganesha’s idol at home or in community spaces. Devotees perform Pranapratishtha, invoking divine energy into the idol, and offer flowers, sweets such as modak, fruits, and incense sticks. Daily prayers (aarti) are carried out with chants and hymns. The festival lasts from one and a half to ten days, concluding with Visarjan, which symbolizes the cycle of life, dissolution and creation. These rituals keep devotees grounded while teaching the values of humanity, detachment, and renewal.
Significance of Crystals
Crystals signify natural energy that amplifies intentions and brings harmony to spiritual practices. Certain crystals are especially associated with prosperity, peace, and protection during Ganesh Chaturthi. Citrine, for instance, is a stone of wealth and abundance, while Green Aventurine promotes growth and success. Clear Quartz sharpens focus during prayers, and Rose Quartz represents love and compassion.
Placing these crystals near Lord Ganesha’s idol or holding them during meditation is believed to enhance the blessings of the festival.
Power of Mantras
Mantra chanting in honour of Lord Ganesha is another potent practice for aligning oneself with favourable vibrations. “Om Gan Ganapataye Namah”, the most common chant, is recited to remove obstacles and invite prosperity. Repeating this mantra throughout the festival not only calms the mind but also strengthens intention and concentration. Other powerful chants, such as Vakratunda Mahakaya, invoke Lord Ganesha’s protection, wisdom, and guidance in making life’s choices.
A Festival of New Beginnings
As we celebrate this auspicious festival, embracing rituals with devotion and awareness allows us to invite prosperity, harmony, and new beginnings into our lives. Through the combined power of tradition, crystals, and mantras, Ganesh Chaturthi becomes not just a celebration, but a spiritual journey of renewal.
