Dear All,

A note on Vinayaka:

The Atharva veda parishishTa mentions Vinayakas (plural) and 
specifies a rite to appease them. They are viewed as "trouble-makers" 
and prayed not to cause harm. The original form of worship 
included "wine and meat". Currently the rite involves use 
of "modakam - kozhukattai" and appam. 

Regards,
Kasturi Rangan .K
