Lord Ganesha, fondly called Vighneshwara, is revered as the remover of obstacles and the bestower of wisdom. Every Vedic ritual traditionally begins with a Ganapati Homam and Archana, ensuring divine blessings for success in all endeavours.
The Ganesha Atharvashirsha declares:
“त्वं बुद्धिरूपोऽसि । त्वं चित्तरूपोऽसि । त्वं ब्रह्ममयोऽसि । त्वं सच्चिदानन्दाद्वितीयोऽसि ॥”
(You are the form of wisdom, consciousness, and bliss itself.)
The homam involves sacred offerings of ghee, modaks, and durva grass into the holy fire, accompanied by mantras. The Archana invokes 108 names of Ganesha, inviting his grace for prosperity, clarity of thought, and family harmony.
In Hyderabad and Secunderabad, families often perform Ganapati Homam before housewarmings, business ventures, or educational pursuits. It is particularly beneficial for students and entrepreneurs seeking clarity, confidence, and new beginnings.
This ritual is a timeless assurance that life’s journey starts on a positive and protected note, aligning devotees with wisdom and divine grace.
