Fifteen Days Of Lord Ganesha
Om Gam Ganapataye Namah
Each morning at 3am in Kadavul temple, one of our monks performs an abhishekam to Lord Ganesha. The Lord of Categories is invoked, bathed in fresh water, oiled, and offered songs, incense, and fresh cut fruit and flowers. He is then dressed for the day based on his daily color which the monk can find in our panchangam calendar. Well before sunrise Ganesha's grace fills the temple and prepares it lovingly for the coming day. This month our 3am pujari has been taking the occasional photo following Lord Ganesha's Alankaram. Here is Lord Ekadanta's darshan from the last 15 days accompanied by verses from Auvaiyar Ma, the 9th century Tamil saint.
"The God with the elephantine visage I shall never forget--Shankara's son, with massive belly and the thodu in His ear, the Lord who gave His grace to Indra, of whom mantra is His very form." Yogaswami's Natchintanai

The aftermath of an intricate puja to Pillaiyar is so powerful, that His presence can be felt. One can feel Him observing in a powerful stillness or quietness , projecting Himself onto the mind and body His vast energy force field vibrating the surrounding, purifying and cleansing. Turning the mind towards His magnificent temples around world or just sitting under a tree. Sometimes appearing as Siva Lingam, sometimes appearing as Lord Subramaniyam. Softly placing His lotus feet on head when prostrating to Him, assuring that all will be good. Throwing flowers while you’re prostrating and gently touching the face and head playfully with his soft trunk. Mesmerizing Loving Ganesha. Siva Siva.
