Public celebration of Ganeshotsav (Ganesh festival)
we will learn how we can benefit most spiritually from Shri Ganesh festival, how to take care of aspects that reduce the spiritual effectiveness of the festival.
Why is Ganapati with the right Sided trunk not commonly worshipped ?
It is a popular belief that an idol with the tip of the trunk pointing towards the right and left are called right-sided and left-sided idols respectively; however this is not the case.
Shri Ganesh Chaturthi – Clarification of Doubts
Except on Chaturthi, Holy Basil is prohibited in the worship of Ganapati. Red flowers, Mandar (Coral) leaves, hibiscus, red lotuses, durva (Sacred grass) and shami (Mesquite) leaves are the favourites of Ganapati.
Offering durva to Shri Ganapati
Durva, a sacred grass, has special significance in the ritualistic worship of Shri Ganapati.
How should the Ganesh Pujan be done for gaining maximum spiritual benefit ?
Shri Ganesh is associated with the frequencies of Desire associated with the Absolute Earth (Pruthvi) and Ether (Apa) Elements. That is why ritualistic worship of Shri Ganesh is beneficial both for men and women.

After invoking Shri Ganapatitattva (Shri Ganapati Principle) into the Idol and performing the ritualistic worship, energy is created in the Idol. The rice on which the Idol is placed gets charged with this energy.
Bringing Shri Ganapati Idol home for worship
While bringing the Idol, cover it with a clean silk, cotton or khadi cloth. The face of the Idol should be towards the individual holding it. The front of the Idol emits saguntattva (Materialised Principle), while the rear portion emits nirguntattva (Non-materialised Principle)
