Wisdom of Ganesh (who is Ganesh?)

Ganesh is one of the widely known Hindu deities. This joyously happy and extremely benevolent elephant-faced God is revered and cherished not just by Hindus but also by many people of other spiritual faiths. 

All Hindu deities represent cosmic energies that are part of the Divine Universal Energy or the Supreme God-head.  In this regard, Ganesh represents the energy that is capable of removing obstacles and obstructions. Due to this, he is revered and paid obeisance before starting any auspicious or important work. His blessings are sought before starting travel to ensure safe, smooth journey and successful completion of work.

According to mythology, Ganesh is the second son of the deities- Shiva and Parvati. Here the concept of ‘son’ is used to indicate the product or an effective outcome. 

Shiva represents the Male Cosmic energy principle of our form-created world and Parvati (who is another representation of Shakti), is the Female Cosmic energy principle.  Both these primal Male and Female cosmic energy principles are responsible for creating our form world. 

The energy of this action of creation (kinetic or action energy) is their first son- Karthikeya.  Thus Shiva and Shakti together create this form-world as we know. 

Their second son is Ganesh. Thus his energy is of prime importance in this created (manifested) world and he is considered as a ruling-leader of the masses. It is due to this leadership position that Ganesh is revered before starting any important task. He is considered as the prime energy of importance in our material world for special occasions as well as day to day existence.

    Vedic Culture is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture was always a "way of life" and not a religion. Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way. Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
