The way Lord Vishnu’s 'Ekadashi' and Lord Shivshankar’s 'Shivratri' are observed, Shri Ganesha’s 'Chaturthi' is also observed by his devotees. Ganpati 'Atharvashirsha' describes this Chaturthi as ‘Chaturthyamanshnan Japati’. Chaturthi means fourth stage. Ganpati is beyond three stages of human body that is awakened stage, dreaming stage and a middle stage between these two stages. When one is in his fourth stage that is turia, one can have his 'darshan'.
