Do not see the Moon on this night!
On
Ganesh Chaturthi, one is advised to not look at the Moon as if one
does, he or she will be wrongly blamed or will face a false allegation.
So
why is this? This is because once the handsome Moon made fun of Lord
Ganesha and Ganesha cursed the Moon that whoever looks at the Moon on
Ganesh Chaturthi will face false allegations.
However, if one does see the Moon, here is a remedy,
Simha prasenamavadith
simho jambhuvatha hathah |
sukumaraka marodhihi
thavahyesha syamanthakaha ||
simho jambhuvatha hathah |
sukumaraka marodhihi
thavahyesha syamanthakaha ||
Repeat the above Shloka if you do see the Moon on this day.!
