Hi Aaron,

 

Well you can worship the Ganesh idol in any other

place , only on consultation of the the pundit as he

can recommend you the best place in your house

depending upon the directions ( East-West,

North-south, etc) But most preferred direction is the

idol should face the East.

 

Regards,

Amit

If the Ganesh idol faces the North, his back is to the South (i.e., he

can be imagined "holding back" the Ganas (who come out of the South) from

their mischief-making tactics.

 

At the Ganesh Temple in Flushing, NY, the main Ganesh idol faces East.

North (for Peace) and East (for Power) are the two most auspicious

directions to face (when meditating, for example). West (for Material

Goods) and South (for Black Magic) are considered inauspicious. (This is

mentioned in the Guru Gita.)

If Ganesh faces North, doesn't that mean that we are facing South during worship? Is this good?
