EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA, September 4, 2005: The Board of Trustees cordially invites you to participate in the Lakshaarchana at the Maha Ganapati Temple in Edmonton, Alberta. As part of the Lakshaarchana (one hundred thousand archana), five priests will be chanting 1,000 names of Lord Ganesha on each day for twenty days from November 16, 2005 to December 5, 2005. The end of Lakshaarchana is celebrated on December 6, 2005. The Lakshaarchana is conducted for world peace, global welfare, and prosperity and long life among the people. It brings more vibration to the temple and blessings to the devotees. The Lakshaarchana is usually conducted in Ganesha Temples during the Vinayagar Viratham (fasting), which is celebrated for 21 days starting on the day after the full moon in the month of Karthigai (November). The Lakshaarchana is conducted for the first time at the Maha Ganapati Temple since the inauguration of the new temple in July 2000.
