Hi All,
I am in need of some suggestions and help to clarify my mind over certain incidences that occurred during the recent Ganesh Chaturthi. We celebrate Ganesh charturthi for past more than nearly 100 years and this time while bringing the clay Idol home two of the fingers broke (unfortunately), but I manage to glue them back with some glue and we worshiped the same deity and also did visarjan in the night. This is the first time this type of unfortunate incidence happened and although we worshiped and asked for forgiveness for any wrong doing, my mind is still not at peace and would like some answers on the following questions
a) was it ok to worship (with prana pratishta) on this vigraha
b) if not then what should we do to atone for any aparadha if we had committed
Many thanks for your help
Krishnadasa
