Position of Ganesh's Trunk

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

In sculpture the

position of

 

Lord Ganesh's trunk has a symbolic

meaning.  If the trunk turns to the

 

Ganesh's left, that is the

direction for success in the world.  It is a position

associated with grihastas, or householders.  To his

right, the trunk represents moksha, good for renouncing the

world.  When one chooses a

Ganesh

 

sculpture that is proper for their own spiritual path the

trunk position is one thing that is good to keep in mind.

 

Thanks !!!

RBSC : Saturday is represent Shani Dev (Saturn)

 

 

 

|| Om Sham Shanaiscaryaye Namah ||

 

Saturday is represent Shani Dev (Saturn)

 

Shani Dev is a son of Surya Devta (Sun) and Chhaya (Suvarna). Lord Shani Dev is

the brother of Yama Dev (deity of death). He is generally depicted in dark

complexion, clothed in black. Shani Graha have a seventh place among navagraha.

In Sanskrit Shani is called Sanischara, which means, " slow mover " .. Shani spends

2.5 years in each rashi. When we add the 2.5 years in previous and 2.5 years in

next rashi together, the time period of 7.5 years is called Saadasaati Panoti.

Saturday is devoted to Lord Shani Dev.

 

For Sani or Saturn related problems and during the dasa or antardasa of Shani:

 

Worship Lord Shani By Following Mantras :

 

Shani Shodasanama stotra of Dasharatha Navagraha Shani

 

Mantra (Shani Dhyan Mantra) Shani Gayatri Mantra

 

Shani Beeja Mantra Shani Cryptic Mantra Shanti

Path

 

Thanks!!!
