Not expecting such a serious reaction, Moon God got shattered and devastated to face such a humiliating punishment. His arrogance and rudeness vanished in a jiffy. All other Gods around were worried with this development and started worshiping Lord Ganesha to appease him again and apologise. At last, Ganesha was pleased and relieved Moon God from the curse but with a clause. Human beings can look at the moon on any day in the year but not on the day of ‘Bhadrapada Chaturthi’ which is the day of Ganesha Chaturthi. If anyone sees Moon on that day, they may face false allegations and may lose peace.
Solution Is there a solution if you look at the Moon by mistake on that day? Well, there is a remedial measure. Those who worship Lord Ganesha and fulfill the holy rituals and listen to or recite the story of Ganesha Chaturthi can be relieved. The actual lesson here is to lose arrogance and stay humble. One should not go by external appearances however beautiful they are and one must not insult anyone basing on physical features or anything else.
Everything in the universe is god and everything within us is god and there is no separation. When there is no separation, there are no opposites like beauty and ugliness. This story further teaches us about realising the God Self in us. Also, this story explains us that one must not be identified with one’s body.
