Are you a Ganapatya?
The Ganpatyas are Hindus who worship
Ganesha (also called Ganapati) as the supreme principle is the universe – Brahman!
Just as a worshipper of Vishnu is called a Vaishnav, a worshipper of Shiva is
called Shaiva, a worshipper of Devi, a Shakta, worshipper of Lord Surya, a
Shaurya, a worshipper of Ganapati is called a Ganpatya. To a Ganpatya, Lord
Ganesha is Saguna Brahman or the Brahman with attributes. While most Hindus
invoke Ganesha’s name before beginning any auspicious journey, puja or
ceremony, Ganpatyas worship Ganesha as their Ishta Devata.
Ganpatyas were a widespread sect in the 17th
and 18th centuries, and continues to hold sway in some Chinchwad and
Moragaon in Maharashtra.
So, are you a Ganpatya?
