Ganesha Puja

Ganesha – elephant headed Hindu deity who is the remover of obstacles

Puja (sanskrit) – ritual or ceremonial worship to earn blessings of a certain deity/energy

Like we might do a rain dance to call in the rain, I will perform (to the best of my ability) a Ganesha Puja to remove obstacles from our collective path. Come for the whole thing, come for a portion, or perform the ritual with me at home. Let’s clear away the obstacles our world is facing and invite in a new era of health, happiness, kindness, and love.
