The January 2009 Ganesha homa at our Spiritual Park in the island nation of Mauritius was attended by some 2000 devotees who came with loving offerings to be placed at Lord Ganesha's feet.

As usual thousands of written prayers addressed to the devas (inner beings), are sent into the homa with the blessings of Lord Pancha Mukha Ganapati.
Kulapati Siven Koothan gave a talk sent by Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami.
Devotees listened carefully.
Here, the ceremony is about to end. The Ganesha homa usually concludes with a final arati to Lord Pancha Mukha Ganapati.
In the meantime devotes continue to bring offerings at the small Pancha Ganapati nearby.
Sishya Prakash and his wife and little daughter, originally from Mauritius, are now settled in UK. They came to receive Lord Ganesha's blessings today.

Bodhinatha's Latest Upadesha: "Detachment from Experiences; Importance of Daily Vigil" (May 5, 2013)
All experiences are good experiences, necessary to get us here. Awareness of aspects of ourselves that are constantly changing is a liberating perception, breaking our chains to mundane areas, detaching from instinctive and intellectual to go into superconscious. The greatest challenge facing youth today is the lack of relating to the devotional side of Hinduism. Daily practice, daily vigil, moves us forward spiritually. Commentary on Merging with Siva, The Master Course, Lesson 21.
