Jai Ganesh .
For the last 10 days we have been worshipping Lord Ganesha . Today is the final evening here at Sri RAAM Dhaam . Tomorrow morning this beautiful murti of Lord Ganesh which has been specially made for worship during this period will be taken in a procession to Chaguaramas where pooja would be done and submerged.. Other temples in the SWAHA network will join also with their own murtis for Visarjan. Thus yet another year in Sri Ganesh worship would be completed. During the yagya we have had many presentations on Lord Ganesh. Tonight as we conclude our yagya I wish to summarise and share 10 benefits of worshipping Lord Ganesh.

You will perceive psychic guidance along with extrasensory perception, and divine intuition and guidance. .
- You will be in control of your Gunas
These three gunas are called: sattva (goodness, constructive, harmonious), rajas (passion, active, confused), and tamas (darkness, destructive, chaotic). When you chose to worship him, you remind yourself every day to have control over actions. This will help you in ensuring that you never let any negative energy overpower you. hence, you become a stronger person from within.
