Ganapati, the chubby, gentle, wise, elephant-headed, is one of Hinduism’s most popular deities. He is the remover of obstacles, worshipers first acknowledge him when they visit a temple. Ganesha is also a patron of letters and of learning. Ganesha is the formless Divinity – encapsulated in a magnificent form, for the benefit of the devotee. As per Hindu mythology, he is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
His name means both “Lord of the People” (Gana means the common people) and “Lord of the Ganas” (Ganesha is the chief of the ganas, the goblin hosts of Shiva). Ganesha is potbellied and generally depicted as holding in his hand a few round Indian sweets, of which he is inordinately fond.
His vehicle (vahana) is the large Indian bandicoot rat, which symbolizes Ganesha’s ability to overcome anything to get what he wants. Like a rat and like an elephant, Ganesha is a remover of obstacles. The 10-day late-summer (August–September) festival Ganesh Chaturthi is devoted to him.
In Ganesh’s four hands, he holds various objects, as do many deities. These objects are particularly important for symbolizing how each deity can help us progress throughout life.
In this Bal Ganesha Idol, on one hand, he holds a rope, which represents Ganpati’s ability to help pull us up towards our ultimate goal of realization and liberation. Another hand holds an axe to cut all attachments with the impermanent and material world we continually grasp for. In his third hand, he holds a bowl full of sweets, which represents rewards for spiritual development. His fourth hand is often shown in a mudra, with the most common depiction of him showing the blessing mudra, which looks almost identical to the Abhaya or ‘fearless’ mudra. This hand gesture is taken by many deities as a way of blessing those who worship them.
Mudras are various gestures often made with the hands in order to focus the mind and direct subtle energy towards a certain place. They are highly symbolic and are said to be very powerful in the Yogic tradition.
People seeking happiness, peace, and prosperity in life should consider placing an idol of a Ganapati at home and it also brings positivity to its surroundings.
