Lord Ganesh, the beloved elephant-headed deity, is one of the most widely revered figures in Hinduism and beyond. He is known as the remover of obstacles, the god of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings. His presence is called upon in times of transition - whether it’s starting a new business, moving into a new home, or embarking on a personal journey of growth and learning.
Who is Lord Ganesh?
Lord Ganesh, also known as Ganesha or Vinayaka, is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. His distinctive elephant head is rich with symbolism, representing wisdom, intelligence, and foresight. His large ears remind us to listen more, while his small eyes encourage us to focus on the bigger picture. The broken tusk he carries signifies sacrifice, while his round belly embodies his ability to digest all of life’s experiences, both good and bad.
Ganesh is often depicted with four arms, each holding an object of significance. These can include a noose, which helps pull devotees closer to spiritual truth, a goad to steer one away from ignorance, a bowl of sweets symbolising the rewards of a virtuous life, and his raised palm in a gesture of protection and reassurance.
The significance of Lord Ganesh in your home
Bringing a Ganesh statue into your home is believed to invite wisdom, positivity, and protection.
