 *---Secrets of Ganpati ---*

 *(Historical disclosure from the writings of Shiv Sena chief Shri Balasaheb Thackeray's father and grandfather of Uddhav and Raj Thackeray ----)*

 *Buddha means Ashtavinayak ---!!!  And *"Ganpati Bappa Morya" means Chandra Gupta Morya.*

 *In the democratic era, the head of the country is the President.  Similarly, in ancient India, there was Gana culture in the monarchy and the head of that Gana was called Ganapati.*

 *In a royal family of ancient India, a prince named Siddhartha Gautam was born, who later became the king of Shakya Gana in Gana culture.  Later, this Siddhartha attained enlightenment.*

 *Now… let us understand the difference between true Ganpati and imaginary Ganpati.*

 *Some clever Brahmin Manuwadis turned the true Ganapati into an imaginary Ganapati.*

 *Buddha was the king of Shakya Gana, hence people called him Ganaraja. He established Buddhism and became the head of Shakya Gana. Being the head of Gana, people called Buddha the husband of Gana i.e. Ganapati.*

 *But the Brahmins Brahminized Ganapati and created an imaginary Ganapati.*

 *When Buddha used to give the message of Dhamma to the people, two words emerged from his message.*

 *Chitta and feces*

 *mind means body*

 *And Mal means filth*

 *Remove the filth (disorder) from your body (mind)!  By which you will be free from sorrow!  Buddha used to say this.*

 *But the Brahmin community gave a convenient opposite meaning to this and prepared the story of a child being prepared from the dirt of Parvati's body.*

 *Similarly, Buddha was of Naga dynasty, in Pali language Naga means elephant.  Meaning Buddha belonged to the elephant dynasty.  Buddha's mother Mahamaya was in sleep when an elephant came in her dream and announced from the sky that a prince is going to be born from your womb.*

 *This means that the elephant is a symbol of the birth of Buddha and Buddha belonged to the elephant lineage, that is why the Brahmin community attached the head of an elephant to Parvati's child...!*

 *Why didn't you put the head of a rat or a bull...??*

*----Ashta Vinayak -----*

 *If there is suffering in this world then there is a reason for it and if there is a reason then there is also a solution to it. Buddha was the first person to say this and it was Buddha who told eight ways to destroy sorrow. In ancient India, sorrows were destroyed by Buddha's eightfold path.  This was proved by Buddha. *The one who followed the Eightfold Path became free from sorrow and became happy forever.*

 *That is, it was Buddha who destroyed sorrows and it was Buddha who brought happiness by erasing sorrows, hence people called him the remover of sorrows and the bringer of happiness.*

 *Buddha was also addressed by the name Ashtavinayak i.e. full of eight teachings.*

 *By cutting the neck of a mute creature and applying it to Ganapati, can a Ganapati born out of such violence be a bringer of happiness and a remover of sorrows...?*

 *There is no evidence in history of the imaginary Ganapati researching the eightfold path that destroys suffering by attaining enlightenment.*

 *Still how is the imaginary Ganpati the bringer of happiness and the causer of sorrow...???*

 *To destroy suffering, Buddha researched the eight paths i.e. the eight precepts of the eightfold path.  That is, people called Buddha as Ashtavinayak as the leader of eight paths.*

 *That is why the Brahmin society called the imaginary Ganapati as Ashtavinayak, which means that Ganapati is not this second or third person but Buddha only....!!!*

 *But, the Brahmin society destroyed the existence of Buddha by making him an imaginary Ganapati.*

 *By creating gods, considering themselves equal to gods and establishing superiority over themselves and the gods, they enslaved the Bahujan community.*

 *-----Morya ----*

 *Later Chandra Gupta Maurya became the Ganapati of the Maurya dynasty.*

 *That is why the Brahmins announced "Ganpati Bappa Morya".*

*Even today there is confusion in the Indian society about the word Morya...!!!*

 *Chandra Gupta Maurya propagated Jainism in Karnataka, hence many people of that region used to add the word Maurya in front of their names.*

 *The surname More in Maharashtra is also a corruption of the Maurya dynasty.  Saint Tukaram also died....!!!*

 *In the fourteenth century, the word Morya was added to the name of a Maurya Gosavi. Brahmins boast like this.*

 *After Brahmins killed Tukaram Maharaj and Peshwas killed Shivaji Maharaj ---*

 *After capturing the Buddhist caves and Buddha Viharas, they started installing imaginary gods and goddesses there.*

 *In the Buddhist cave of Karla, Buddha Mata Mahamaya was given the form of Brahmin Ekvira Devi.*

 *By installing Ganapati in the Lenyadri Buddha cave of Junnar, he made it the main destination of the imaginary Ashtavinayak Ganapati.*

 *Made Shiva a place by installing Shivalinga in the cave of Shelarwadi, Pune.*

 *Because... the true history is that ancient India was Buddhist.  After Buddha, Emperor Ashoka converted entire India into Buddhism.*

 *But the Brahmins ended the dynasty of Ashoka and mixed the ideas in Buddhism and gave birth to thirty-three crore gods.*

 *The Brahmins Brahminized the word Ganapati and gave birth to the imaginary Ganapati, who became the Ganapati of the true Shakya dynasty of this country of India.*

 *In the name of imaginary Ganpati, the entire society was immersed in superstition and in the name of festivals, Brahmins started extorting money from this society.*

 *Brahmins attain wealth by worshiping imaginary Ganapati.*

 *Brahmins keep taking our money on every festival.*
