Guest guest Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Namaste Egyirba, Excellent question you've asked. It depends on how the choices come about; examples below: a) Your guru decides you need Left Trunk Ganapati. A true chela never questions the authority or decision of a genuine guru as amongst other things, the sincere chela surrenders himself/herself at the Lotus Feet of the Guru who is akin to "God". Its like laying your soul and all its past karmas, present karmas and problems bare in the hands of God who decides as He/She sees appropriate. b) Some folks are attracted to either the Right or Left Trunked Ganapati. He/she then goes with their instinct or intuition in making the selection of which Murti to take home and worship. If the person does not know the difference and have not been initiated for intense sadhana for Left Trunked Ganapati, he/she is absolved from the "lessons" that the Left Trunked Lord may dish out. Hence when the layman or beginner chants Ganapati's mantra, either Saguna or Beeja, he/she usually gets the blessings of both, and eventually gets to see fortuitous outcomes or relief from their problems. c) Paragraph "B" also applies to those who are Advaita-inclined and other practitioners such as Tantrikas who do not see "Duality".
