Ganesha Chaturthi Wallpapers

 

September 17, 2012

On the auspicious occasion of Sri Ganesha Chaturthi falling on the 19th September 2012, below are desktop wallpapers of Sri Ratnagarbha Ganapati to decorate your desktops.

The ancient murti of Sri Ratnagarbha Ganapati was handed down by Sri Adi Shankaracharya to Sureshwaracharya, and propitiated since then by the Jagadgurus  who have adorned the throne of transcendental wisdom at Sringeri.

A Note on Screen Propotions

Instead of providing wallpapers for various screensizes, two sets of wallpapers have been provided; one for normal computer monitors viz. 4:3 propotion, and the other for wide-screen monitors viz. 16:9. No matter what the resolution, the wallpapers for their respective frame ratios will snugly fit inside the desktop area without much hassle. Illustrations of the two types of monitors are provided below for convenience of devotees.

  • Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
  • Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
