Ganesh Chaturthi

Ganesha could be considered as the most  endearing form of all Hindu deities. The term Ganesha stems from the root 'Gana'  which means the hosts or troops of demigods especially referring to the retinue of Lord Shiva and the term 'Isha' means 'ruler' or 'lord'. Hence the term  Ganesha means “the Lord of the demigods". Though his worship forms the most important aspect of one's daily pooja, His birthday, Ganesh Chaturthi is  celebrated grandly with devotion and delight.

The Ganesh Pooja is the first major event of  HSO for the fall semester. The pooja is generally kept on or closer to Ganesh  Chaturthi, which is celebrated across India irrespective of religion caste and  creed. The pooja is carried out with recital of vedic mantras, archana and  offerings of fruits and flowers. The students who attend the pooja also end up  singing songs and bhajans to embrace the occassion.

We host a Ganesh Pooja in late August every year, so please check mid-August for more information regarding HSO's Ganesh Chaturthi celebration.
