Pancha Ganapati Day 2

We continue with our five-day celebration of Pancha Ganapati. Today, day 2 of the celebration, Gurudeva shares from his book "Loving Ganesha"

The sadhana of the day is to offer apologies and clear up any misunderstandings that exist. Relatives and friends in far-off places are written to or called, forgiveness is sought, apologies made and tensions released. Gifts received are placed unopened before Pancha Ganapati."
