Forms of Ganesha--Ucchista Ganesh definition

[Guest guest]

Hello Gaurav:

 

Thank you somuch for posting such an informative material on Lord

Ganesh. May Lord Ganesh bless you.

 

I was reading the various descriptions/definitions and I noted that I

recall ANOTHER description of "Ucchista Ganesha." Your description is

correct; however, I'd like to add an additonal description.

 

Ucchita Ganesh is Ganesh making love to his wives. His wives are

sitting one each on each thigh of Ganesh. This Ganesh is Blue in

color. Ganesh's trunk is touching the breast of the wife sitting on

his left thigh. Ucchista Ganesh is also depicted with just ONE wife

on his left thigh.

 

Now, don't ask me for a quote from the classics. I wrote down what I

just know through the folklore. I was born in a Gujarati Brahmin

family and grew up around Marathi Brahmins who are one of the most

ritualistic and deeply Vedic people in India and a lot of

knowledge/folklore is verbally passed down the generations and there

is NO written evidence of such knowledge.

 

Such ancesteral Vedic knowledege is seen most prevalent amongst South

Indians (Tamil, Kannada and Orriya speakers) where the Middle-Eastern

Invader didn't get to. Ya, Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan did make it to

Southern India, but were to busy fighting the British or they would

have continued the Genocide their associates had already committed in

Norhtern India.

 

May GANESH BLESS THE BRITISH who helped end the Indian Genocide by

the Middle-Eastern Invaders and who preseved the Hindu/Sikh/Buddisht

religions and cultures that were left over after the Genocide. And,

may GANESH BLESS ADI SANKARA who revived Hinduism.
