Vakratunda mahakaya suryakoti samaprabha/ Nirvignam kuru me deva sarvakaryesu sarvada//
( O lord Ganesha,of curved trunk,large body,and with the brilliance of a million suns,please make all my works free of obstacles, always...)
Most of us know the story of lord Ganesha in our childhood.Ganesha also Ganapati, elephant headed Hindu god of beginnings,who is traditionally worshipped before any major enterprise.His name means 'lord of the people','lord of the GANAS' often he is regarded as the lord of wisdom in Hinduism.
But in this post,I am going to share some of the important lessons which we can learn from the LORD GANESHA. If we look closer on the idol of GANESHA we can learn nearly ten important lessons.
So let's get started....
1. He has a big head...
Which indicates always think big in LIFE. Whatever the things we plan to do in our life must be big (UCCHAVILASH).Once we started to think Big,our mind-set will definitely change.
2. He has small eyes...
Which indicates to be focused and concentrated always. If we want to achieve success in our life we have to be focused.(EKAGRATA is a must for SAFHALATA) Concentration is an attitude and it will developed day by day.
3. He has one tusk...
As we know that, Ganesha was broken his own tusk to continue the writing of Mahabharata. It gives a lesson that to be selflessness in Life. It teaches us that ' DO GOOD TO FEEL GOOD.'
4. He has small mouth...
It gives us a lesson that to talk less. It is true that most of us talking valueless, baseless stuff everytime without any reason. From that we don't get anything instead we loose our energy.
So keep silence every time as silence is the first step towards meditation.
5. He has a large trunk...
He uses his truck to destroy obstacles. As he is the BIGNAHARTA, his trunk symbolises change.
Which tells 'CHANGE IS THE UNCHANGEABLE LAWS OF NATURE' and we have to be change with time ,we have to be update with time.
6. He has large ears...
Which indicates to listen more,means always be alert and ready to take action.
7. He has large stomach...
Which indicates to digest every situation either good or bad and to live every moment with love and peace hearted without any objection.( How we manage our stress)
8. He carries an AXE...
Which indicates to cutoff all the bond of attachment in LIFE. Attachment is the root of all pain.
So be detached from the attachment.
9. He loves madaka...
Ganesha likes madaka very much.which indicates that we also get reward of our sadhana.what is only required is patience with enthusiasm and perseverance.
10. His vehicle is mouse...
Which indicates that in this life all things are MEANINGFUL irrespective of the size,types, colour etc. We have to discover that meaning.
Fact. The Ganesha idol having the trunk with right side is known as siddha GANESH.
What I found my last reading about Ganesha are listed above ,apart from that we can learn many others lessons from him..
At last make a prayer to the LORD that, Hey god bless us with that energy and potential power by which we can face and conquer all the obstacles and hurdles in our life.
