Ganesh Chaturthi — Ganesh Sthapana

At the Gayatri Chetna Kendra, Bengaluru, the sthapana of Bhagwan Ganesh is performed in a yagya atmosphere — with the invocation of the divine energy currents (divya shakti dharaayen) and Vedic mantras that set the whole Kendra resounding. Main yajmans offer the pujan and archan along with their families, and parijans join through the morning. In the previous observance more than 50 parijans took part, with the sthapana conducted by Acharya Preetam Jena ji.

The grandeur and divinity of the day carry a single bhaav: that we immerse our ignorance, fill life with self-discernment, and invoke the divine at every new beginning. Awaken the Ganesh within your own antahkaran — the one who turns every obstacle into an opportunity. Only then does Ganesh pujan, only then does Ganesh Chaturthi, become meaningful.

May the blessings of Bhagwan Ganesh — Buddhi Data, Vighnaharta, Mangal Murti — reach everyone. With that bhaav the Ganesh Sthapana and Ganesh Chaturthi parva concludes with the Shanti Path. Families and children are especially welcome, and as with every program at the Kendra there is no fee and no registration.
