Guest guest Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 OM Namo Bhagvate Venkateshaya Dear Gurujan, Namaskar, First of all would like to wish everyone in the forum a very Happy Ganesh Chaturthi. Am writing in as am in need of advice regarding a Shri Ganesha statue which we found during puja in our house today. This statue has its trunk to the right side and has been there in our house since the last 56 years. I recently came to know that when an idol of Shri Ganesha with its trunk to the right is kept at home one needs to worship it daily in a dedicated way and we have honestly not being doing this all these years. It was infact purchased by my grandmother 56 years ago as per my father who has been seeing it since then. I feel that it is better to donate it to a temple which would worship it daily. As it has been there for so long in the house we are feeling hesitant about doing this. Would be extremely grateful if I could have advice as to what would be the correct thing to do and how to go about doing the same. Thanks, Ramesh M Bangalore Love Cricket?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Namaskaram-I think it would be quite simple for you to do a pancha puja after lighting the lamp every day. This is: 1. Gandha ( sandalwood paste or similar scent) 2. Pushpa 3. Dhoopa 4. Deepa 5. Naivedya ( can be fruits or even the food you eat every day). It could be completed in 15 minutes or less. If you have a Guru, you could learn antar-puja. This will give you good benefits- having a nitya karma is a first step to more complex practices. If you travel- someone else in your house can do the same. There are very few temples which really take care of an idol which has had prana pratishta done to it before. If prana pratishta has never been done in this idol, then there is no harm in just keeping it at home.
