REQUEST : Ganesha festival, request for info
Hello,
I am brand-new to this newsgroup and very new to the study of Hinduism. I
have read that a festival of Ganesha begins on the fourth day after the
August new moon -- that would be Sunday, August 18 ??
I am very interested to learn more about this festival and how it
is celebrated, especially in the United States.
Also, are honest seekers of truth and those interested in
different forms of worship welcome at festivals or regular temple worship?
I understand that home worship is the most common among Hindus but I am
unclear about the role of corporate (congregation?) worship in Hinduism
-- how common is it?.
Any information and opinions would be welcome. Thanks.
