Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha
In Indian mythology the elephant God, Lord Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and of new beginnings. Invoke his name, mantra, and mudra to receive help with life's challenges.The symbolism of his image is powerful: Elephant - a symbol of strength and power; large head - intelligence; large ears - listening to one and all; small mouth listens > speaks; one broken tusk - retain only the good; small eyes - focus; large stomach consumes all the good and bad in life; four hands hold the tools to help us - pulling us towards liberation, cut attachments to the material world, rewards for spiritual development and a blessing.
This week I offer you a powerful Kundalini meditation invoking Lord Ganesha called the Gan Puttee Kriya or how to make the impossible possible. Click here for details. While you are meditating please spare a thought for the plight of the world's wild elephants. August 12 was World Elephant Day, a day dedicated to the preservation and protection of the world's elephants.
