Ganesha

[Guest guest]

 

Ganesha ~ the elephant God ~ is a child of Shiva,

the Supreme Being, and Parvati his wife. Also called Ganapati,

Ganesha is one of the most popular Hindu Gods. His name means Lord of the Ganas, who were dwarf followers of Shiva. Lord Ganesha represents the

call to spiritual power ~ he has been prayed to, worshipped and adored in one form or another since time began, as it is said that time began with his creation.

Ganesha's mother Parvati found him in her hand while wiping perspiration from her body after bathing. Indeed Ganesha was born with a corpulent body, said to contain within it all the matter of the universe. Soon

after his birth he acquired his famous elephant head when the god Saturn ~ symbol of obstacles, difficulties, and delays ~ came to salute the newborn child. Saturn's powerful, fatal glance immediately reduced the

head of the baby Ganesh to ashes.

At once Vishnu, God of Love, set forth to look for another head, and returned with the head of Indra's elephant Airavata. The elephant head was placed without further ado on the shoulders of the young Ganesha. From then on Ganesha came to be called Vighnesa, who removes fear from the minds, or Lord of Obstacles, whose purpose is to help his worshippers

surmount every difficulty.

 

In his hand Ganesha wields a noose and goad, and he holds a bowl of sweets. With the noose Ganesh can hold you close or capture and confine both blessings and obstacles. With the goad, Ganesha can strike and

repel obstacles from you. Ganesha removes obstacles but he can also put them in your way to prevent you from going down the wrong path. He is a jolly, good-natured god.

Ganesha's four arms stand for his immense power in helping Humanity. Lord Ganesh is the Single-Tusk One, patron of literature, who tore off one

of his tusks to scribe the great epic Mahabharata. Through this action Ganapati teaches us that knowledge and dharma are of utmost importance worth sacrificing even pride and beauty to attain.

If

you look at statues and imagery of Ganesha, there is frequently a

tiny little rat (or mouse) at his feet, Mooshika,

representing the worldly desires that need to be overcome. This being

is known as

Ganesh's " Vahana " or

vehicle, and was basically used as a mode of transport after having

been tamed by Ganesh. It is said that the contradiction between the

heaviness of the elephant and the lightness of the rat is an illustration

of Ganesh’s role as one who brings about unity and harmony, and

this is further demonstrated by the fact that Ganesh was able

to tame

a creature considered to be vermin.

Ganesh resides on the mental plane. He sits contentedly upon the muladhara (first) chakra and reigns over it. Ganesh is the deity of the instinctive mind and of the intellectual mind, science, and knowledge ~ making him the Lord of Categories. He organizes and clears the mind so that awareness may flow into it. Ganesh is also the Giver of Success, and is associated with general abundance in life. Among all the wonderful Hindu deities, Shri Ganesha is closest to the material plane of consciousness and most able to assist us in our day to day life concerns.

Sounds like a useful God to have on your side! How can you reach Ganesh and get his assistance? Very simple. To contact Lord Ganesh, hold his form steady in your mind with eyes closed. Now you can talk to him.

He will listen, but not speak back. You simply must put all of your questions and problems at his feet and then open your eyes. Ganesha answers you not in words but by his influencing events and decisions slowly and in unseen ways. Situations will change for you and doors will open through your prayers to him.

 

 

Ganesh enjoys adulation through constant repetition of his name. It is beneficial to purchase a statue of Ganesha and surround him with incense,

flowers, and sweets. He especially adores chocolates. Above all, worship him often to remove the obstacles in your life.

The

following is an invocation and prayer of supplication to Ganesh:

Om Sri Ganesha Namaha - Great Lord of Wisdom,

Here I stand with so many decisions to make,

with so many ways to turn.

I beg your Grace.

Please fill me with righteous judgment and clear discrimination

as I lay all confusion at your feet and immerse myself solely in Your Being.

Om Ganesha Saranam.
