Sankata Hara Chaturthi Pooja: Wednesday, March 19th at 7:00 PM
Sankata Hara Chaturthi pooja will be held on Wednesday, March 19th, 2014 at 7:00PM at Deepa/Shankar’s house.
“Sankata” is a Sanskrit word which means “Problem” and “Hara” is also a Sanskrit word which means “Killing or removing.” So a person who does pooja to Lord Ganesh on Sankatahara Chaturthi will be relieved from all their worries and troubles. Sankatahara Chaturthi comes on each “Krishna Paksha Chaturthi” day of Hindu lunar month which means the fourth day of waning moon period. Fasting on this day is very auspicious.
Pujyasri Akka has given us a Ganesha vigraham that any devotee can take with him/her to their respective house and perform the pooja. You have a great opportunity to keep and serve lord Ganesha given by Pujyasri Akka in your house for some time and experience the divinity of the lord. The pooja will be performed by a priest.
Please RSVP by email/phone by Mar 14th if you can participate in the pooja so that we can make appropriate arrangements.
