Today Is Vinayak Chaturthi: Simple Rituals for Peace, Prosperity & Purpose”

Today marks Ashadha Vinayak Chaturthi, an important monthly observance in honor of Lord Ganesha—the remover of obstacles and harbinger of wisdom. Beyond grand Ganesha Chaturthi in August, this monthly chaturthi offers a heartfelt pause for devotion, self-reflection, and family time.

Timing & Significance

  • Date & Tithi: Ashadha Shukla Chaturthi on June 28, 2025, with the auspicious puja window from 11:01 AM to 1:48 PM local time

  • Why Today Matters: Falling in the monsoon month of Ashadha, this Chaturthi carries a vibe of renewal—soil-rich, spirit-sweet, and emotionally rejuvenating. In astrology, Lord Ganesha is linked to Ketu, which governs detachment and karmic release—making today perfect for letting go of past baggage.

Begin with a morning bath, wear clean clothes (white/yellow/red), and set up a clean altar with Lord Ganesha’s idol or picture.

Observe a day-long fast, breaking it after moonrise with a sattvic meal (dairy, fruits, light grains). Avoid non-veg, onion, and garlic.

6. Charity & Compassion
Honor Lord Ganesha by donating food, sweets, or necessities—acts of generosity align with his teachings.
