You could feel the clay Ganeshas were sending out love and blessings as they became energized. The Ganeshas were kept in the sacred space for a few days for additional pooja. I looked in on them several times. They had a very sacred vibration from being energized. They were like a little army of light beings, all lined up. I felt the beauty of the clay Ganeshas, the respectful attention each one was given and how powerful they became through a few days of pooja, " reported Mrs. Valli King, a 2008 Chennai, India, resident.
