Placement of Ganesh Statue/To Anand Sharma

[Guest guest]

Simoneji

 

Anand is my first name. I am sorry to be picky. But whose left or right would

be used? Would it be the person standing in front of the picture or would it be

the left or right of the picture itself? (as if the picture were not merely the

picture but treated as physical being and hence had left and/or right sides). I

know that this is stupid of me to ask but I take these things as literal as I

possibly can and sometimes it is better to have a wider perspective on

interpretations from different people.

 

I hope you do not mind me pestering you as I am sure you have million more

things to do that are more important than my questions.

 

Kind regards

 

Anand

Namaste Anand,

 

Not a stupid question at all; although it is one that has been asked

by innumerous people across the world

 

With the name "Anand", you are blessed with "Bliss". By your

surname, you are of Brahmin caste (Priestly Caste). If you have a

family guru or personal guru, please consult your guru first and

foremost. Is Anand your full name or does is it a prefix or suffix

of your full first name? Just curious, please don't mind me......

 

Right trunk means when you are standing in front of the Murti, the

trunk is turned to the right.

 

Left trunk means when you are facing the Murti, the trunk is curved

towards the left.

 

Hope this helps

 

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namah

Best wishes

Simone
