We welcome Lord Ganesha in our lives, and we all shout in joy and say, ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ but how did this slogan originate? Ever wondered?

‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ is a chant all of us as devotees chant enthusiastically during the 10-day Ganesh festival across India. It is a slogan/chant that invokes tremendous hope, bhakti, reverence and surrender in our hearts.

It reverberates in our beings & minds for much long after the festivities come to an end.

But what does this chant mean? Let’s learn more.
Ganpati – the name used for Lord Ganesha is a Sanskrit word that means Gana Pati (Lord of the People (Ganas)
Pati means lord or master, used as another name for the Lord

Just to remind you, Bapu (another variant of Bappa) is used a pet dimunitive (English - hypocoristic) form as well ... Bapu is used in Gujarat and Bappa in Maharashtra.
Bappa now is almost exclusively reserved for Bhagavan Ganesh

The third word Morya, has a very interesting story behind it. Morya Gosavi (from my sources I learn it may be a variant of Goswami), who lived in the 14th century was a great devotee of Lord Ganesha and a priest of the Hindu Ganpataya sect.

It is said that the bhakt Morya sought from the Lord Ganesha that his name be associated with the Lord's name forever. The Lord pleased with his devotee granted the wish and since then, folks have been chanting tagging Morya's name with the Lord's!

It is near the Vinayaka Temple in Chinchwad, Maharashtra, (near Pune, part of the Pune-PCMC UA), that Morya Gosavi’s tomb is situated. This is where he took Samadhi. Ever since then, his name is taken reverentially and delightfully with that of Lord Ganesha.

The second part of this chant – pudhcha varshi loukar ya, is Marathi for come soon again next year. It is a way of welcoming Lord Ganesha once again in the lives of his devotees after the 10-day festival ends.

There are some other chants that say "Mangala Moorthy Morya" too ..May the Lord of the People, Lord over the Obstacles, First & Complete Lord be the one who illuminates our mind, clarifies our doubts, reassures us in our lives & propel us forward to our goals @Valluva_Bharati
Here is a fuller article .. @ananvaras http://www.chinmayaupahar.in/blog/why-we-chant-ganpati-bappa-morya/
The more we learn about our God, the various roops of Him, we realize how the devotees Bhakti had touched God Himself and transformed Him to bestow exceptional and special blessings to those who seek Him single-heartedly.

Examples abound in our Itihasas and Puranas. We don't need to look outside for inspiration to derive our faith from. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. He will surely transform you into His image, and make you ONE with Him.

Let us, on this day of celebrating Lord Ganesh's presence in our lives, rededicate ourselves to the cause of Dharma & repose our faith, in an unabashed, undiluted way, in Him and Him alone. May His divine countenance be upon our lives always.
