🐘🌺 Ganapati Bappa Morya! 🌺🐘

Join us as Chinmaya Mission Pittsburgh celebrates the auspicious occasion of Vinayaka Chaturthi Utsavam 2026 at Chinmaya Amarnath!

✨ Come together with family and friends and celebrate the spirit of Vinayaka Chaturthi!

📍 Chinmaya Amarnath
📅 September 14th, Monday

Vinayaka Chaturthi celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the beloved Vighnaharta—the remover of obstacles and the Lord of wisdom and auspicious beginnings.

Ganesha’s elephant head reminds us of wisdom and discrimination, while His large ears teach us to listen more and His small eyes remind us to focus deeply. Before beginning any auspicious endeavor, we invoke Ganesha—not merely to remove obstacles from our path, but to give us the clarity and strength to overcome them.

As we celebrate, may we invite Ganesha into our hearts and pray for viveka, humility, devotion and an obstacle-free path toward our higher goals. 🙏
