Ganesha is the Hindu God of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune. Also known as Ganapati or Vinayaka, he is one of the most beloved deities in Hinduism. He is easily recognized by his elephant head and large, pot-bellied human body. As the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Ganesha holds a special place in the hearts of devotees. He is widely worshiped as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences, and the deity of beginnings.
Ganesha is often depicted with a mouse, his vehicle, symbolizing the ability to overcome even the smallest of obstacles. His large ears signify that he listens to the prayers and concerns of his devotees, while his broken tusk is a reminder of the sacrifice he made to write the Mahabharata, one of India’s greatest epics.
In yoga and spiritual practice, invoking Ganesha’s blessings before starting any new endeavor or spiritual practice is common. His energy is believed to clear the path of any challenges or difficulties, making it easier for practitioners to achieve their goals. Ganesha is also associated with wisdom, intelligence, and learning, which makes him a guiding force for those seeking knowledge and personal growth.
For those practicing Kundalini Yoga, connecting with Ganesha can be a powerful way to align oneself with the energies of new beginnings and transformation. His presence is a reminder that with devotion, focus, and perseverance, any obstacle can be overcome.
