Ganapati Bappa Morya

“What is the significance of the term “Ganapati Bappa Morya” ? 

Devotees chant Ganapati Bappa Morya all the time to sing the praises of Lord Ganesh. But how many of them know what the word Morya signify? The word Morya refers to a famous devotee of Lord Ganesh in the 14th century called Morya Gosavi, from Chinchvad, near Pune who invoked the Lord with severe penance. 

 He attained siddhi it's said that Moryaji also performed penances at Siddhi Vinayak in Ahmedabad and in Moreshwar/Mayureshwar at Moregoan where he also built the temple. 

Thus this depicts the inseparable relationship between God and his devotee. Many sages like tukaram maharaj and others have endorsed Moraya Gosavi as one who merged with Ganapati. 

Ganapati Bappa Morya !!!  Regards Mahesh Jayaraman
