"Loka Samasta, Sukhino Bhavantu!" Happy Pancha Ganapati to All!
Happy Pancha Ganapati to all living Beings in all Three Worlds!
Two years ago we solicited photos from devotees who celebrated Pancha Ganapati. Today we are making these an "Evergreen collection" using our new slideshow technology. Those who submitted them will enjoy a "blast from the past." The monks will be heading into a two-day retreat. Then on Sun One of next phase will have our own Pancha Ganapati Party! Until then, enjoy the slide show. Note, there are 80 plus photos and you can view large sized versions if you click the popout or full screen buttons on the lower right of the gallery stage. And don't forget to move your mouse up and down to view details in the portrait photos (or view all from the pop out window to see complete images throughout.)

The family sadhana for the first day of Pancha Ganapati is to create a vibration of love and harmony among immediate family members. We set up a shrine at our homes for our beloved Ganesha....
The shrine is decorate with traditional symbols, rangoli, lamps and more....
The family sits together for the purpose of easing any strained relationships that have arisen during the year.

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.
