- ✨ Saṁskāra - Rites of purification
- 🌕 Vrata - Disciplined observances
Ganapathi Havan
कर्मफल दाता (Karma Phala Dātā)
Lord Gaṇapati symbolizes the law of cause and effect, ensuring balance between intention (saṅkalpa) and outcome (phala). To invoke Gaṇapati at the beginning of all sacred acts is to acknowledge the limits of personal control and align one’s will with cosmic intelligence.
“Gaṇapati worship transforms action into seva, discipline into clarity, and effort into equanimity.”
