USA, September 5, 3009: A new website, parisaraganapati.net, wants to foster worship of Lord Ganesha in a way suited to Hinduism’s compassion for all creatures and nature itself. It is the hub of activities for the Parisara Ganapati project of the Youth For Seva movement.
The website aims to promote eco-friendly practices during Ganapati puja celebrations. Another key aim of this project is to promote awareness and understanding about the spiritual and cultural ideals behind Ganapati puja, ideals which have been obscured by recent trends.
“Ganesha worship should promote awareness of the importance of the environment and the close dependencies between the human species and the environment. The Rishis were aware of the enormous negative impact of unmitigated human activities on the whole environment and its effect on human welfare,” says the website.
