Sri NCV Narasimha Charyulu of Vedantha Pandith Parishad
Explained the importance and values promoted by Ganesh Chaturthi
And that it comes during the month of bhadrapada, where diseases increase and the Prasad prepared acts as a remedy.

The big ears of Lord Ganesha teach us to listen more and the small eyes to concentrate better Hence this is a Festival of Gaining Knowledge.
