Pancha Ganapati Festival (21st December – 25th December)
It’s time for merry making once again! Pancha Ganapati is here and we’re in the mood to celebrate winter solstice (not so winter in our part of geographical area) but it is a wet season indeed. Introduced by HH Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami of Hawaii, Aadheenam few decades ago, it has since then became a celebrated Hindu festival on its own.
The reason of this festival is due the fact that Hindu families in the west do not have a proper celebration for their families when Christmas joy is in full swing by our Christian faith brothers and sisters. Hindu family kids tend to be in total lost. Thus, Pancha Ganapati was born in tandem during the Markali Pillyar month and to peak on 25th December each year. December too is a traditional month for Pillyar’s prayer season.
Kids will be having great fun fulfilling time with their parents, friends and relatives. Each day is observed with different themes and meanings; Ganesa is dressed and decorated as though He is coming out from jungle to bless everyone present. Friends and relatives are invited in this joyous occasion as well. They too will bask in this festival and are dressed in fine traditional Hindu dresses befitting the occasion, immersing in Hindu arts and music!
Meant to be observed in a home by Hindu families, however, it has created a new wave of public festival celebration in temples surroundings around the world. Hindu devotees in Malaysia, Denmark, and Germany, US, Singapore, India, Australia and many other countries have been observing Panacha Ganapati festival couple of years now.
Please check more info on the festival celebration and its significance on Gurudeva.org. We in Malaysia too would not want to miss this wonderful utsava. This year again, Sidhi Vinayagar Temple at Johor Jaya, Johor decorated Pancha Ganapati in full gears as it begun yesterday. Thus, the gift-giving festival commences and we are anticipating a wonderful celebration in festivity mood.
An abundance of presents are to be given away to kids and adults alike on the last day of Pancha Ganapati who Himself will be distributing the gifts. Our very own Santa Claus, Lord Ganapati is a great Giver of boons to our positive desires & needs.
Friends, I’d like wish all of you a Happy Pancha Ganapati & season’s greetings. May Lord Ganapati guide us to the paths of health, wealth and happiness. Please do inform your friends to come to our temple and receive immense blessings & darsan from Lord Ganapati himself.
Jai Ganapati
