Lord Ganesh

[Guest guest]

*Lord Ganesh*

 

*If you worship the elephant-faced Vinayaka, your life will expand

bountifully. If you worship the white-tusked Vinayaka, your desires and

doubts will flee. Therefore, worship Him with love-offerings of jack,

hoppers, plantain and mango fruits and thus mitigate the burden of

deeds. **Saint

Auvaiyar. AG, 127*

 

*He has one tusk and four arms. Two of His hands hold a noose and a hook,

while the other hands show the gestures of removing fear and granting boons.

A mouse is seen on His flag. Red, obese, He has ears like winnowing baskets.

He is dressed in red, with limbs painted with red sandalpaste. **Ganapati

Upanishad 11-12*

 

*The God with the elephantine visage I shall never forget -- Shankara's son,

with massive belly and the thodu in His ear, the Lord who gave His grace to

Indra, of whom mantra is His very form *

**
