Significance of Ganesh Chaturthi![]()
What Does Lord Ganesha stand for?Lord Ganesha is the incarnation of wisdom and instant blessing. He holds a Pasha in one of His right hand to attract the minds of his devotees, to propel mankind forward on the eternal path and to remove obstacles from the way of his devotees, while the other hand bestows boons. One of the left hands that carry an Ankusha, symbolizes the demolishment of ignorance and a gentle execution to capture all the difficulties, while the hand that holds a lotus or a rosary, suggests that the quest for knowledge should not end.Ganesha the Obstacle Remover![]() Sidhi is the spiritual power or the capability to do things within a very short period of time through supernatural powers while Budhi refers to intelligence or the discriminatory knowledge. So they are represented as his consorts. Therefore these qualities are personified as wives of Lord Ganesha, though He is referred to as an unmarried brahmachari. While Lord Ganesha is the personification of material universe in all its various magnificent manifestations, He is also the destroyer of vanity, selfishness and pride. Ganesha was the one deity who dared even to fight Lord Shiva. The primal emotion that leads to all types of confusions, conflicts and failure is fear and He is fearless. Lord Ganesha stimulates intelligence, enhances our problem solving skills, stabilizes emotions, removes obstacles and hand-holds us during our quest to achieve success. |
