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.

"What is the significance of the word MORYA in “Ganapati Bappa Morya”?

"What is the significance of the word MORYA in “Ganapati Bappa Morya”?

Devotees chant Ganapati Bappa Morya all the time to sing the praises of Lord Ganesh. But how many of us know what the word Morya signify? The word Morya refers to a famous devotee of Lord Ganesh in the fourteenth century called Morya Gosavi, originally from village called Shaligram in Karnataka where his devotion was looked upon as madness!! He later travelled and settled in Chinchvad, near Pune and invoked the Lord with severe penance.
He attained siddhi (special powers and blessings) at Shree Chintamani and his son built the temple to commemorate the event. It is said that Moryaji also performed penances at Siddhi Vinayak in Ahmedabad and in Moreshwar/Mayureshwar at Moregoan where he also built the temple. Overwhelmed by the devotion of Moryaji, he was blessed by Lord Ganesha to fullfill any of his wish. Morya asked to be remembered forever on this earth whenever anyone remembers his Lord, as his 'Param Bhakt'. Thus this depicts the inseparable relationship between God and his devotee." Always remember this when you say 'Ganapati Bappa Morya'🙏🙏🙏

How to Live Well 

'Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.' ~Seneca 

Post written by Leo Babauta  .

I'm not a rich man, nor do I fly around the world and drink champagne with famous people in exotic locales, nor do I own a sports car or SUV or a yacht.

And yet, I'm very happy.

Much happier than seven years ago when I ate fried foods and sweets all time time and felt unhealthy and overweight, when I watched television and was out of shape, when I shopped a lot and was in debt, when I worked a job that paid fairly well and had no time for myself or my loved ones.

How have I accomplished this? With small tricks. The truth is, you don't need a lot to live well - you just need the right mindset.

Here's what I've learned about living well on little:

1. You need very little to be happy. Some simple plant food, modest shelter, a couple changes of clothes, a good book, a notebook, some meaningful work, and some loved ones. 

2. Want little, and you are not poor. You can have a lot of money and possessions, but if you always want more, you are poorer than the guy who has little and wants nothing. 

3. Focus on the present. Stop worrying about the future and holding onto the past. How much of your day is spent thinking about things other than where you are and what you're doing, physically, at this moment? How often are we living as opposed to stuck thinking about other things? Live now and you live fully. 

4. Be happy with what you have and where you are. Too often we want to be somewhere else, doing something else, with other people than whoever we're with right now, getting things other than what we already have. But where we are is great! Who we're with (including just ourselves) is already perfect. What we have is enough. What we're doing already is amazing. 

5. Be grateful for the small pleasures in life. Berries, a square of dark chocolate, tea - simple pleasures that are so much better than rich desserts, sugary drinks, fried foods if you learn to enjoy them fully. A good book borrowed from the library, a walk with a loved one in the park, the fine exertion of a short hard workout, the crazy things your child says, the smile of a stranger, walking barefoot on grass, a moment of quiet as the morning wakens and the world still rests. These little pleasures are living well, without needing much. 

6. Be driven by joy and not fear. People are driven by the fear of missing out, or the fear of change, or the fear of losing something. These are not good reasons to do things. Instead, do things because they give you or others joy. Let your work be driven not because you need to support a lifestyle and are afraid of changing it, but by the joy of doing something creative, meaningful, valuable. 

7. Practice compassion. Compassion for others creates loving, rewarding relationships. Compassion for yourself means forgiving yourself for past mistakes, treating yourself well (including eating well and exercising), loving yourself as you are. 

8. Forget about productivity and numbers. They matter not at all. If you are driven to do things to reach certain numbers (goals), you have probably lost sight of what's important. If you are striving to be productive, you are filling your days with things just to be productive, which is a waste of a day. This day is a gift, and shouldn't be crammed with every possible thing - spend time enjoying it and what you're doing.
