Here's an ode to Ganesha video I'm sure you'll all enjoy.

Namaste

Sunyata, it's just a shelf standing on its own on the wall (so to say), yeah. However, I've had another idea - I have a bigger stack of shelves next to it (where I have all my books/university stuff), which I'm planning on cleaning up this weekend (getting rid of unnecessary papers, and such). Perhaps I will be able to free one shelf (or at least half of it) for the murthis and then I'd be able to place a curtain of sorts there. Sounds do-able, anyways!

I'll also take a look at kuthuvillakku lamps, like EM said. I do usually light a candle and some incense while praying, but it's not always possible, so I definitely like the curtain idea - which will hopefully be possible when I clean up the shelves.

Is anyone here fluent in Hindi? I've just received a newsletter from the temple about some religious festivities, but I'm unable to read the most of it (well, at least I think it's Hindi...might be Tamil...or something else!)!

Edit: Thanks a lot for sharing the link, EM.

Hindi is not my native language, but I can read it clearly.

Thanks Dhruva, it has a section in my local language - I'll translate it into English and send you both files, and you can just let me know if the Hindi section says anything not covered in the local language one (because local language = 1 page, and Hindi = 3 pages).

ok, send it to me, I will replay by tonight.

Thanks Dhruva, I've sent you a message. No rush in replying!

The language is Gujarati, Its my native language.

Oh wow, certainly not a coincidence! Sorry I got the language wrong, though. :P
