Happiest Pancha Ganapati, One and All
Two sunsets from today, one at the monastery and another at the ocean. A Wailua Mission member sent a sweet note to all the monks on this fifth and final day of Pancha Ganapati, added to all the kind wishes that arrived from around the world....
Happy Pancha Ganapathi Dear Monks
We couldn't help reflecting this morning on our Magnificent Gurudeva. He saw little children growing up in the West and might feel left out' of the biggest celebration on this side of the planet. Gurudeva wouldn't have it so He created something so big, so rich, that it took five days to embrace it. It also gave us the opportunity to celebrate this Great God within our neighborhood, go around with gifts in hand and refresh our bonds of harmony and respect. O Gurudeva! We are so grateful!
As Saivites Gurudeva taught us to worship Pancha Ganapathi
O Ruler of Heaven and Earth!
Sweet Lord with the Elephant Ears
Who is sacrifice surrendered Your beautiful Tusk!
O Great God with a slow gait
And a Mother's Love!
Guide us in the first world today!
Hold us to the path of Dharma with your mighty noose . . .
That Your five radiant Shakti's will flow through us
Freely out to the world.

Om Sivaya,
I am so very grateful to Gurudeva for this special festival he created and gifted to all of us when our children were young. It filled a need to celebrate with the rest of the world in a very uniquely Hindu way and brought such joy to our Saivite community. And today, all these many, many years later, it continues to do so. Giving homemade goodies to neighbors is a truly loving part of the festival I so look forward to. Over the years, this simple act has created an extra friendliness among our dear neighbors. There is a profound closeness to Lord Ganesha that grows during the five days of worshipping Him. Jai Ganesha! Jai Gurudeva!

Indeed sweet note! Thanks to Gurudeva for letting us have the festival Pancha Ganapati. As an initial step since knowing about Pancha Ganapati, I now wish my friends and surrounding “Happy festive period” or “Happy Pancha Ganapati” instead of the traditional wishes. Jai Ganapati!
