Lord Ganesha

 

Lord Ganesha symbolizes

the ideals of perfection

as conceived by Hindu sages

and illustrates concepts of

profound spiritual significance. Elephant head, wide mouth, and large ears

The large head of an elephant

symbolizes wisdom, understanding,

and a discriminating intellect

that one must possess to attain perfection in life.

The wide mouth represents the

natural human desire to enjoy life in the world.

The large ears signify that a perfect person

is the one who possesses a great capacity

to listen to others and assimilate ideas.The trunk and two tusks

with the left tusk broken

Just as an elephant"s trunk

can uproot a tree and yet lift a needle

from the ground.

the human mind must be strong enough to face

the ups and downs of the external world

and yet delicate enough to explore the subtle

realms of the inner world.

The two tusks denote the two aspects

of the human personality, wisdom and emotion.

The right tusk represents wisdom and the

left tusk represents emotion.

The broken left tusk conveys the idea

that one must conquer emotions with

wisdom to attain perfection. Elephant eyes

The elephant eyes are said to possess

a natural deceptiveness that allow them

to perceive objects to be bigger than

what they really are.

Thus the elephant eyes symbolize the idea

that even if an individual gets

"bigger and bigger"

in wealth and wisdom, he should perceive others

to be bigger than himself; that is,

surrender one"s pride and attain humility. The four arms and various objects in the four hands

 

The four arms indicate that the Lord

is omnipresent and omnipotent.

The left side of the body symbolizes emotion

and the right side symbolizes reason.

An axe in the upper left hand and a lotus in

the upper right hand signify that in order

to attain spiritual perfection,

one should cut worldly attachments and

conquer emotions....

This enables one to live in the world without

being affected by earthly temptations,

just as a lotus remains in water but is not affected

by it. A tray of Laddus (a popular snack) near

the Lord denotes that He bestows wealth and prosperity upon His devotees.

The lower right hand is shown in a blessing

pose, which signifies that Ganesha always

blesses His devotees. A human body with a big belly

 

The human body possesses a human heart,

which is a symbol of kindness and compassion

towards all.

Ganesha"s body is usually portrayed wearing

red and yellow clothes.

Yellow symbolizes purity,

peace and truthfulness.

Red symbolizes activity in the world.

These are the qualities of a perfect person who

perforrns all duties in the world,

with purity, peace, and truthfulness.

The big belly signifies that a perfect individual

must have a large capacity to face

all pleasant and unpleasant experiences of the world. A mouse sitting near the feet

of Ganesha and gazing

at the tray of Laddus:

A mouse symbolizes the ego that can nibble all that

is good and noble in a person.

A mouse sitting near the feet of Ganesha

indicates that a perfect person is one

who has conquered his (or her) ego.

A mouse gazing at the Laddus, but not consuming them,

denotes that a purified or controlled ego can live in the

world without being affected by the worldly temptations.

The mouse is also the vehicle of Ganesha,

signifying that one must control ego

in order for wisdom to shine forth. Right foot dangling

over the left foot

The left side of the body symbolizes emotion and

the right side symbolizes reason and knowledge.

The right foot dangling over the left foot illustrates that

in order to live a successful life one should utilize

knowledge and reason to overcome emotions.
