Swastik Stories brings God closer to home with Hamara Vinayak

Humaara Vinayak show

The new, endearing series Hamara Vinayak, which reimagines Lord Ganesha as the friend we all wish we had, comes from the same creators of Mahabharat, Radha Krishna, and Porus.

Rather than being a distant deity, Vinayak is someone who listens, laughs, and quietly guides you through life’s ups and downs.

The five-episode digital series premieres Friday, October 31, at 6 PM IST, with new episodes dropping every Friday on Swastik Stories’ YouTube channel and streaming later the same evening on FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) platforms, including JioTV, LG, Xiaomi, and RunnTV.

Each episode, lasting 10 to 12 minutes, is designed for today’s fast-paced world, offering short but meaningful stories packed with warmth, humour, and insight.

Hamara Vinayak, which is set in the vibrant metropolis of Mumbai, follows three young entrepreneurs as they develop their app, iDarshan: Arjun (Arnav Bhasin), Neel (Luv Vispute), and Meera (Vaidehi Nair). When Vinayak (Namit Das), a quiet new pantry boy, joins their team, their lives take an unexpected turn.

He helps them understand what really matters with his straightforward wisdom, kind smile, and light-hearted humour. Sanvi, the upbeat receptionist whose presence brings more light and laughter, is also portrayed by Saloni Daini.

Siddharth Kumar Tewary, Founder and Chief Storyteller, Swastik Stories, explained, “We’ve grown up hearing stories of gods who spoke from above. Hamara Vinayak is about the one who sits beside you. He doesn’t preach — he listens, and sometimes that’s all we need. This is God seen through the eyes of today’s generation — as a friend, not a figure on a pedestal.”

Speaking about playing Vinayak, Namit Das shared, “Portraying Lord Ganesha as a pantry boy who guides people with wit and warmth was deeply humbling. It’s not about miracles — it’s about moments of realization that change you quietly.”

The cast reflected on the series’ unique blend of modern life and timeless wisdom. Arnav Bhasin said, “Hamara Vinayak is what happens when ambition meets introspection. It reminded me that leadership is as much about compassion as vision.”

Vaidehi Nair added, “It’s rare to see a story blend spirituality and realism so beautifully. Meera’s struggle between ethics and ambition feels very real.”

Luv Vispute commented, “Neel believes in logic and code more than karma. The story showed me how reason and faith can co-exist.”

Saloni Daini reflected, “Sanvi helped me rediscover faith — not just in God, but in people. This show has a beautiful heart; it makes you smile and believe again.”

A series for families and young viewers alike, Hamara Vinayak reminds us that sometimes divinity doesn’t sit above — it walks beside us as a friend.

Premieres Friday, October 31, 2025, at 6 PM IST on YouTube and FAST platforms.
