Arising through Parvati as mother nature, a head given to him by Lord Shiva, The Lord Ganesha is a perfect balance of union of energy (male and female) and their creation together. Ganesha, representing the transcendent truth beyond all name and form. Shri Ganesha teaches us how to unify all the various aspects of our nature and yet transcend our individual limitations to embrace the entire universe.
Celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha, the cosmic union of Ardhanarishwara (Ardha=half, Nari=female/shakti and Eshwara=epithet for Shiva).
On this auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi , May Lord Ganesha grant you his grace and inspire you to the highest. God of new beginnings and fresh start, wisdom, good fortune and prosperity, Ganesha exists in the most minute and the most vast, the most near and most far, the high and the low what reaches everywhere in an instant and what does not move at all, has the power of Shakti, yet contains the stillness of Lord Shiva.
At the start of our journey from Animality (elephant-animals),
to humanity ( humans)
to Divinity (God),
Lord Ganesha is the first step, as he is the cosmic connection that teaches us the formless essence of all.
