Ganesha´s Trunk (stark)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Stark!,

 

Well the only thing I can tell you about this matter, Ganesha´s trunk

being in the right side is this:

 

 

-In some sources, the trunk is associated to the kundalini energy and

if the trunk is either left or right, it would be pointing at the right

nadi or the left nadi (if the trunk points upwards, towards the third

eye, it would mean that the kundalini energy is flowing properly and

the process is completed). The left nadi would be associated to the

Moon and femenine side and the right to the Sun and masculine side of

our being.

 

-In a very special book we have found recently, called Ganapati, Song

of the Self by John Grimes (State University of New York Press, 1995.

Page 64)

The statues of Sri Ganesha with the right side trunk are associated

with Sri Siddhi Vinayaka of Siddaheck, the meaning is not extremely

clear but what I seem to understand is that it symbolises fullfillment,

achievement on a spiritual level, getting rid of ignorance and

realising our true inner wisdom.The author associates it to the tat vam

asi philosophy...or the advanta vedanta...That Thou Are.This book

states that the trunk pointing to the right is very auspicious and

implies some kind of secret esoteric practice or whorship, but nothing

more is mentioned and I have not found more about this matter.

 

Love and best regards
