Ganpati Havan with 108 Durva and Modak

Description:

Ganpati Havan with 108 Durva and Modak is a powerful Vedic ritual dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the deity of wisdom, prosperity, and auspicious beginnings.

In this sacred ceremony:

1. Ganesh Poojan and Sankalp are performed first.

2. A sacred fire (Havan Kund) is established.

3. Ganapati mantras and Atharvashirsha are chanted.

4. 108 Durva (sacred grass blades) are offered to Lord Ganesha.

5. 108 Modaks (his favorite sweet) are offered as Naivedya.

6. Havan offerings (ahuti) are made with ghee, herbs, and samagri.

7. Aarti and Prasad distribution conclude the ritual.

The number 108 is spiritually significant in Hindu tradition, symbolizing completeness and divine energy. The use of Durva and Modak is especially important, as they are considered extremely dear to Lord Ganesha.
