Yoga is the ability to direct the mind exclusively to an object and maintain this direction without distraction.

Versions of the appearance of an elephant's head.

1. According to one version, at the festival in honor of the birth of Ganesha, they forgot to invite the god Shani, who, out of revenge, incinerated the head of the newborn. Brahma advised Parvati to replace it with the head of the first creature she encountered, and it turned out to be an elephant.

2. Brihaddharma Purana "(II book). After the birth of Ganesha, all the gods were invited to a festival where everyone could look at the baby. Only Shani did not honor Parvati and her son, because he was cursed by his wife for neglect with her and from his gaze, everything that God's gaze fell on perished. Parvati ignored Shani's warning and asked him to look at her son. As soon as Shani looked at Ganesha, the baby's head separated from the body and fell to the ground. Even Shiva failed to resurrect the baby. Then a voice came from heaven, ordering to “put” the head of the one who “sleeps facing north” on the shoulders of Ganesha. Shiva’s servant Nandin was sent to search for the head, who, after long wanderings, came to the capital of the heavenly kingdom of Amaravati. At the gates of the city, he saw Airavata, Indra's elephant, lying with his head to the north. Having won the battle with Indra, Nandin cut off the head of the elephant and returned to Shiva. The young god came to life and, at the behest of Shiva, became the head of the ganas (hosts of Shiva's servants), receiving from Brahma the name Ganesha, “Lord of the Hosts" Indra came to Shiva with repentance and as a sign of forgiveness, Shiva ordered the body of the headless elephant to be thrown into the ocean so that it would gain a new head, after which the resurrected Airavata returned to Indra.

3. Another explanation was that Parvati molded a man out of clay and, having washed him in the waters of the Ganges, placed him as a guard in front of her chambers, and when the new guard blocked Shiva’s path there, the angry god cut off his head and, seeing his wife’s despair, promised place the head of the first creature you come across, which turns out to be an elephant, to Ganesha’s body.

4. "Varaha Purana". Ganesha lost his head due to the curse of Parvati, who was dissatisfied with his birth.

Two explanations have been proposed by Indian myth-makers to explain why why does the elephant head only have one tusk?.

1. According to one of them, he lost one tusk for conscientiously fulfilling his duties as a guard, this time not allowing the brahmana Parashurama (one of the avatars of Vishnu) into the chambers of Shiva; Parashurama, who did not stand on ceremony with anyone at all, cut off one of his tusks with his ax.

2. According to another legend, Ganesha himself used one tusk as a weapon, breaking it off and striking the giant Gajamukha (“Elephant Face” - again “elephant world”), who then turned into a rat, which later became Ganesha’s riding animal (vahana).

Ganesha loves sweet dishes very much: rice flour balls with a sweet center. On one of his birthdays, Ganesha went from house to house accepting offers of sweet dishes. After eating a large quantity of them, he rode off at night on his mouse. Suddenly the mouse tripped - it saw a snake and got so scared that Ganesha ended up falling. His belly opened and all the sweet foods came out. But Ganesha pushed them back into his stomach and, catching the snake, tied it around his stomach. Seeing all this, the Moon in the sky laughed cheerfully. This misbehavior of the Moon made Ganesha very angry and he threw one of his fangs at the Moon and said that from now on no one should look at the Moon on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi.

One day Ganesha and His brother Ruler Subramanya were once arguing about who was the eldest of them. The question was asked to Lord Shiva for a final decision. Shiva decided that the one who makes a circle across the whole world and returns first to the starting point will receive the right to be the eldest. Subramanya immediately flew away on his vehicle - a peacock - to circle the world. But the wise Ganesha, expressing devoted respect and love, walked around His parents and asked for a reward for His victory. Lord Shiva said: “Beloved and wise Ganesha! But how can I give you a reward; You haven’t walked around the whole world, have you?” Ganesha replied, “No, but I went around my parents. My parents represent the entire manifested universe!” Thus the dispute was settled in favor of Lord Ganesha, who was thereafter recognized as the elder of the two brothers. Mother Parvati also gave Him a fruit as a reward for this victory.

Although Ganesha is the leader of the lower pantheon in the service of Shiva, he is revered primarily as the deity of wisdom, business and the removal of obstacles. The same functions are performed by both of his wives - Buddhi (“Reason”) and Siddhi (“Success”). Ganesha was and is still called upon to help in every endeavor; many Sanskrit works begin with an appeal to him (a separate Ganesha Purana is dedicated to him). Images and temples of Ganesha are extremely popular, especially in southern India. In numerous temples dedicated to Ganesha, the fourth day of the bright half of the month - chaturtti - is especially celebrated, and in the month of Bhadra (August-September) in Maharashtra, the Ganesha festival is celebrated for ten days.

Names. GANESHA In the late Vedic period, the epithet “Ganapathi” (identical in meaning to “Ganesha”) originally belonged to Rudra-Shiva himself as a deity invariably surrounded by a retinue (Taittiriya Samhita). Ghatodara - "Fat-bellied"; Vighnesha - "Lord of Obstacles"; Ekadanta - "One Tooth".

Ganesha is truly skilled in removing obstacles. But he specializes in removing obstacles thanks to gans. "Ganesha" literally means "gana isha", that is, "god of gana". The word "gana", like all good Sanskrit words, has several different meanings, at least three of which are very important in this context.

Secondly, gana means sense organs. We definitely want Ganesha to protect us from Vighna, any obstacles that our senses may present to us. In this interesting word “vighna” the part “-ghna” means “to kill” and the part “vi-” here means “specialness”. Thus, Vighna is an obstacle that “kills” in a certain special way. This may be in the literal sense, but, as a rule, it “kills” in a figurative sense, interrupting our development in a certain direction. Vighna“kills” our intention, eliminates the impulse of development; distracts us from our goals. Our senses are especially skillful in creating such obstacles and inventing special methods of destruction. Our senses turn to things that are not very suitable for us, that we do not need at all, and under the influence of these erroneous predilections of our senses, we find ourselves in a situation where these vighnas can “kill” ourselves.

Trying to accumulate shakti in the presence of significant residual attachments can provoke all sorts of difficulties. Once we have brought our addictions under control, even temporarily, we can find other uses for our accumulated shakti. For example, to direct this energy to reduce the influence of karma, which creates vighnas that hinder or can “kill” our development, or to increase the positive influence of Ishta-devata, a personal deity, in our life.

When Ganesha takes over, he controls our senses so that we can keep them under control - either under personal control or under the control of Ishta-devata, a personal deity. When our senses are under close control, they are freed from the urge to pay attention exclusively to our cravings and desires - those cravings and desires that may arise in us under the influence of our deceased ancestors seeking connection with the physical body in order to enjoy what they loved before their death. Thus, the second reason to worship Ganesha is to control the senses.

The third important meaning of the word "gana" in this context is "incorporeal being." "Gana" also means the disembodied intelligent beings from each variety: bhutas, pretas, pishachis, brahma-rakshasas, vetalas, vimana gandharvas, yakshas, ​​yakshinis, dakinis, shakinis and so on. Some of them once had incarnations, some never existed in the flesh. Some of them were once human, and some were never incarnated as a human. But all of them can influence people because of their subtle essence. They can, as a rule, even without our knowledge, penetrate our energy field and influence us. Since we do not like such behavior towards us from beings who pursue their own goals, we turn to Ganesha with a request to keep them all under control.

Today few are even interested Samadhi and even just meditation within the framework of “regular” yoga. If yoga is physical education for you, meditation is unlikely to interest you. On the other hand, usually the process of self-knowledge begins at the level of the body (the roughest - asanas), then comes the discovery of energetic possibilities (which gives rise to interest in pranayama), and then to meditation (as a method of working directly with the mind and exploring further). Now it is commercially unprofitable to teach yoga “in a package” “3 in 1”, as it has been done for thousands of years, because... meditation is usually no more interesting than, for example, mantra yoga. Usually, an ignorant person considers meditation to be just a waste of time, and the practice of asanas to be effective. If you have already realized that “without meditation you can’t go anywhere,” then you are “ripe” for “quick methods” of achieving Samadhi - the final and only goal of meditation.

A good-natured man with the head of an elephant is the Indian personification of patience and prosperity. He is the first to be offered prayers and requests. Ganesha is a good god, which cannot be said about most of the man’s relatives. The patron saint of those offended and in difficult situations will protect anyone, even in the face of a formidable one.

History of appearance

The peaceful elephant-man belongs to the lower pantheon of gods of ancient India. Moreover, Ganesha is often referred to as a manifestation of Shiva (his father) rather than a separate being. The first images of the god date back to the 5th century AD.

Initially, the deity did not exude the usual good nature at all. The first mentions of Ganesha are accompanied by the epithet “Creator of Obstacles.” Legend has it that Shiva gave the demigod the important duty of putting a spoke in people's wheels. Later the image was transformed into the “destroyer of all obstacles.” Now Ganesha has another task - to clear the path of obstacles for those who ask for it.

The image of a celestial being developed and acquired more and more responsibilities. Modern Ganesha represents the god of wealth and wisdom, an assistant in any endeavor, and the patron of art and writing.

It is generally accepted that the deity came into Vedic culture thanks to the ancient Dravidians (residents of southern India and Pakistan). Gradually, the cult of the deity spread throughout India, partially merging with Buddhism and Shaivism.

In the 6th century, the worship of Ganesha became a separate tradition called “Ganapatya”. Religion gained its greatest influence in the 10th century. It was at this time that famous temples dedicated to the elephant god were erected in India.

True, with all the love of Hindus for the gluttonous Ganesha, the religious tradition has not received noticeable spread. To this day, demigod worship is an addition to the core beliefs of Hindus.

Image and legend

The mythology dedicated to Ganesha is full of contradictions. There are disagreements even in the legend describing the birth of the deity.

The son of Shiva and Parvati was born from a piece of matter. Parvati desperately wanted a child, but Shiva swore that he would not become a father to his wife’s children. The offended wife started a scandal. In the heat of a quarrel, Shiva tore a piece of cloth from his clothing and threw it on his beloved’s chest. As soon as the material touched the woman’s chest, a miracle happened before the eyes of the spouses - the fabric became a living child.

There is a legend in which the birth of Ganesha is presented in a different light. Parvati did not like it when her husband burst into her chambers without permission. Therefore, the goddess rubbed herself with a special composition, which removed particles of dead skin from the woman. From the resulting substance, the goddess blinded a man who came to life at her touch. Since then, Ganesha has been guarding his mother’s chambers.

Legends also differ about where the god of wealth got the elephant's head from. Ganesha was originally a beautiful child. The proud parents called all the gods they knew to boast about their son. God Shani - the only one whom the couple forgot about - appeared at the holiday without an invitation and withered his gaze on the baby’s face. Then Parvati put the head of a passing baby elephant in place of the missing part of the body.

Another legend says that Ganesha was deprived of his head by his own father. Shiva was angry with the child who did not allow the deity into Parvati’s chambers, and with a swing of his sword he cut off his son’s head. The goddess, who saw the bloody picture, became angry and demanded that what she had done be corrected. But the child's head was lost somewhere. The hot-tempered Shiva had to put the head of an elephant on the child’s body.

However, Ganesha never cared about appearance. The God of Wealth quickly got used to the new head. Due to his passion for sweets, the deity acquired a huge belly, which harmoniously complemented the unusual image. The picture is completed by four hands, each of which symbolizes an important component of a person’s “subtle body”: mind, intellect, ego and superego.

With such a clumsy body, Ganesha successfully fights enemies and performs good deeds. For example, the demigod defeated the demon and giant Gajamukha, losing one tusk. The enemy turned into an animal that Ganesha rode. A man with the head of an elephant is often depicted riding a rat.

The god of luck and wisdom is not the only child of the divine spouses. Ganesha has a brother Skanda. There is noticeable rivalry between relatives. Both brothers wanted to receive the title of “Lord of the Ghans” and control their father’s mighty army. To resolve the dispute, Shiva proposed organizing a competition - the title would go to the one who would be the first to circumnavigate the entire Universe. Skanda instantly took off and ran off into the distance. And Ganesha leisurely walked around his parents, because Shiva and Parvati personify the vast Universe. So the god of wealth wiped the nose of the strong god of war.

The father often uses Ganesha for his own purposes. One day, Kubera, another god of wealth and jewelry, boasted to Shiva about his own food supplies. Kubera invited Shiva to a feast that could not be completely eaten even by the gods. Wise Shiva sent Ganesha in his place, who ate not only the dishes prepared for the holiday, but also all the food in the city (the parable of “Ganesha and Kubera”).

When the demigod is not busy leading his father’s army or fighting giants, the man whiles away his time in the company of his favorites. Lakshmi, Saraswati and Ganesha spend a lot of time together. The Divine Trio reminds a person that prosperity (Lakshmi) and success (Saraswati) come into life with wisdom and patience (Ganesha).

However, sometimes the constant proximity of deities is explained more prosaically - according to one version, the elephant god is married to both beauties. But in the south of India they say that Ganesha is a bachelor who will never tie himself to such ties. And the residents of Bengal are sure that the deity is in a love relationship with a banana tree.

Ganesha in feng shui

Ganesha's influence is not limited to India and Hinduism. The demigod is quite popular in China and plays an important role in the Taoist practice of feng shui. It is believed that the benign elephant god is able to bring money. The main thing is to know how and where to place the deity figurine.

If a person’s goal is to attract money, then it is better to place an amulet depicting God in the office. The ideal location would be the right side of the desk or the northwest side of the office.

Ganesha will bring no less benefits in the house. The best place for the figurine will be the living room, or the so-called “family area”. When placing an image of Ganesha in the bedroom, a person is guaranteed a restful and sound sleep.

It is important not only to place it correctly, but also to charge the demigod. Attributes that charge Ganesha with the correct energy are specialized mantras (while reading, you need to stroke your stomach) and offerings. Most of all, the elephant god loves gifts in the form of sweets.

• The meaning of the name of the deity is “lord of the retinue”, or “lord of judgments”.
• Men often use the prefix “shri” before their name. This addition is a sign of respect to the great elephant god.
• Ganesha's favorite dish is rice balls with sweet filling.
• In theaters in Kerala, before the start of the performance, mantras dedicated to Ganesha are always read. The doors to the theater are not closed during the performance so that the demigod can also enjoy the spectacle.
• Every year, the Ganesh Chaturthi festival is held in honor of Ganesha, which lasts 10 days. The holiday falls on the fourth day after the new moon of the sixth month (August 19 - September 20).

Ganesha.

Ganesha is the Indian god of abundance with the head of an elephant.. He is considered the patron of business, the god of wealth, who removes obstacles from the path of those who strive for success.

You may not like the appearance of Ganesha at first sight. The animal’s head and the squat, thick body somehow don’t go well together. But Ganesha is the patron saint of people of subtle mind who are not deceived by appearance. He who fails to see the Divine in Ganesha becomes a victim of the rational mind, which is the greatest obstacle on the path of spiritual development.

Ganesha is depicted as squat, with a large belly, four arms (sometimes six, eight, and maybe even sixteen) and the head of an elephant with one tusk. In three hands he holds an ax, a lasso and, sometimes, a shell. The fourth hand may be depicted in a "giving of gifts" gesture, but most often he is holding a laddoo, a sweet ball made from pea flour. His small eyes shine like precious stones. He sits on a rat, or she accompanies him. According to legend, the rat was once a demon, but Ganesha curbed it and made it his mount. This demon symbolizes vanity and insolence. Thus, Ganesha conquers false vanity, pride, selfishness and insolence.

There is an opinion that the larger the Ganesh figurine, the more money he will bring. So, decide for yourself what size to buy Ganesha.

The Ganesha talisman can be made of various materials. It can be semi-precious stones, copper, bronze or wood. But it doesn’t matter what material the talisman is made of, the main thing is to respect Ganesha. In India, where Ganesha is especially revered, there are many plastic figurines.

It is better to place a bronze figurine of Ganesha in metal sectors West, North-West or on the right hand at your workplace. Then it will symbolize the help of friends and wealth. You can also place a bronze Ganesha in the career sector, since metal generates water - money.

And the wooden Ganesha should be placed in the wealth sector or in the family sector. Then your money will grow.

To enhance the effect of Ganesha's help, you need to scratch his tummy or right palm. You can also put Chinese coins or sweets next to him - Ganesha loves offerings very much and will definitely please you with pleasant surprises.

In addition to using the Ganesha talisman itself, it is recommended to repeat mantras addressed personally to him. This will grant you purity of intentions, good luck in business and all kinds of prosperity..

TO ATTRACT MONEY

October 17th, 2017

Today is Tuesday, the day of Mars, Mangalavara. On this day of the week it is recommended to resort to Ganapati practices. And the other day I was just remembering the great, in my opinion, translator of tantric texts, who created for us a Russian-language version of the text of the root tantra of the Charya class - “Mahavairocana abhisambodhi”, as well as commentaries on it by the I-Ching and Buddhaguhya. He also penned a translation of the general explanatory Kriya Tantra "Susiddhikara Sutra", the root text of the Yoga Tantra - "Vajrashekhara" and Amoghavajra's commentary on it. None of our famous Buddhologists, lovers of Lamrim, has ever even tried to translate this into Russian)). You can read briefly about this translator here - https://www.hse.ru/staff/fesyun Andrey Grigorievich Fesyun has published many different books, but the tantric texts I mentioned, comments to them and a number of articles you can download in three volumes here here - Tantric Buddhism. In a day mangalavara I just remembered his article dedicated to elephant-headed deities)). Here she is:

The popular elephant-headed deity, popularly known as "Ganesha", has been an intriguing subject for anyone interested in the East until the present day. This mystical deity, who entered the arena of the Vedic pantheon late, quickly became one of the most significant figures; science, yoga, tantra, dance, drama, music, calligraphy - all these areas of human self-expression arose thanks to the existence of Ganesha. He fulfills the desires of his admirers, drives away all evil influences from them, brings them joy, prosperity and peace. The sacred texts contain numerous legends about his birth. The most popular is the one that tells how the goddess Parvati created Ganesha as the guardian of her private life.

Annoyed by her husband's refusal to respect her right to privacy, outraged that he allowed himself to enter her chambers even when she was taking a bath, Parvati decided to settle this once and for all. The next time, before entering the bathroom, she scraped some fragrant sandalwood ointment from her body and sculpted it into the figure of a young man. Having breathed life into her, she announced to him that he was her son and must guard the entrance while she was taking a bath, for which she armed him with a club and passed on some witchcraft techniques.

Soon after this, Shiva (the deity of destruction and Parvati's husband) came to look at her, but the young man stood in front of him and did not allow him inside. Shiva became angry, not knowing that it was his son, and began to fight with him with rage, as a result of which the young man’s head was separated from his body. Coming out of the bathroom, Parvati saw her headless son; in grief and anger she threatened to destroy heaven and earth.

Shiva calmed her down and ordered his companions (known as gana) to go and bring the head of the first living being they met. This turned out to be an elephant; They cut off his head, placed it on the young man and breathed life into him again. Delighted, Parvati hugged her son.

Shiva named him Ganesha; this word consists of two parts: gana (follower of Shiva) and isha (lord). Thus, he was appointed overlord of his followers.

Ganesha is usually depicted with the head of an elephant and only one tusk; the second one is broken off. Another distinctive feature is his large belly, which almost falls out over the edge of his underwear. A sacred thread, usually in the shape of a snake, is tied across the left shoulder and chest. Ganesha's cart is pulled by a mouse, often depicted as worshiping its lord.

According to the strict rules of Hindu iconography, it is forbidden to depict Ganesha with only two hands, so most often he has four, which is a sign of divinity. In some figures we see six, eight, ten, twelve and even fourteen hands, each of which holds a separate symbolic object (there are up to fifty of them in total).

Ganesha's physical attributes themselves are rich in symbolism. Usually one of his hands performs the protective abhaya mudra, and in the other he holds sweetness (modaka), expressing the sweetness of awareness of his inner essence. In his other two hands he often holds ankusha (elephant goad) and pasha (lasso) in front of him. The latter is designed to catch and hold worldly desires and attachments; the first is to guide people on the path of virtue and truth. Ganesh also strikes and removes all kinds of obstacles with his goad.

His fat belly symbolizes natural abundance, as well as the fact that Ganesha swallows all the misfortunes of the universe and protects the world.

The appearance of Ganesha is composite: four creatures - a man, an elephant, a snake and a mouse - form his figure. All of them together and each individually have a deep symbolic meaning. Thus, the appearance of Ganesha represents the eternal human desire to merge with nature.

Its main distinguishing feature is the elephant's head, symbolizing goodwill, strength and intellectual power. All the qualities of an elephant are contained in the form of Ganapati. This is the largest and strongest animal of the forest, but it is kind and, surprisingly, is a vegetarian, so it does not kill for its own food. He is very affectionate and devoted to his owner and feels very good when he is treated with kindness and love. Although Ganesha has great power, he is also loving and forgiving; he is touched by the affection of those who worship him. At the same time, if provoked, an elephant can destroy an entire forest, being an army in itself. He is also completely ruthless in eradicating evil.

And yet, the large head of Ganesha symbolizes the wisdom of the elephant. His huge ears, like a fan, sift out good from evil. Hearing everything, they leave only good things; they are sensitive to all the requests of those praying - big and small.

Ganesha's trunk is a symbol of his insight (viveka), the most important quality in spiritual improvement. The elephant uses it to fell a large tree, carry huge logs to the river, or for other heavy work. The same huge trunk can be used to pick up a few blades of grass, or to crack a small coconut, remove the hard covering and eat the soft contents. The most difficult and most delicate operations are within the capabilities of this trunk, symbolizing the intelligence and insight of Ganesha.

A curious aspect of his portrait is his broken tusk, from which his other name comes, Ekadanta (where eka means “one” and danta means “tooth”). There is one interesting legend about this:

When Parashurama, one of Shiva's favorite disciples, came for a visit, he encountered Ganesha, who was guarding the inner chambers. Since his father was sleeping, Ganesha did not allow him to enter. Parashurama, however, did not give up trying to get inside, and things came to an exchange of blows. Ganesha grabbed him with his trunk, spun him around and threw him to the ground, causing Parashurama to lose consciousness for a while. Having come to his senses, he threw an ax at Ganesha; he recognized it as his father’s weapon (Shiva gave it to Parashurama) and did not dodge, but respectfully accepted the blow with one of the tusks, which immediately fell off, and now Ganesha has only one tusk.

According to another legend, Ganesha was asked to write down the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata, which the author himself, Saint Vyasa, was going to dictate to him. Imagining the gigantic scale and significance of this work, Ganesha realized the inappropriateness of any ordinary “pen” in such a task, so he broke off one of his tusks and made a writing stylus from it. The lesson here is that there is no such thing as excessive sacrifice in the pursuit of knowledge.

The ancient drama Sisupalvadha gives a different version. It says that Ganesha lost his tusk through the machinations of the scoundrel Ravan (the negative hero of the Ramayana), who took it by force to make earrings from ivory for the beauties of Lanka.

The small mouse that Ganesha is supposed to ride is another interesting figure in his iconography. At first glance, it seems strange that the Lord of Wisdom was given a modest, insignificant mouse, which, of course, could not lift either his massive head or his huge belly. However, this implies, firstly, that wisdom is a rather bizarre conglomeration of factors, and secondly, that the wise never consider anything in this world to be disproportionate or repulsive.

In every sense, the mouse is comparable to high intelligence. She is able to slip unnoticed into places where it is considered impossible to penetrate. At the same time, she cares little about how virtuous or harmful it is. The mouse thus represents our wandering, seeking mind, drawn to undesirable, corrupt areas. By depicting a mouse worshiping Ganesha, it is implied that the intellect is tamed by his power of insight.

In any attempt to plumb the depths of the phenomenon of Ganesha, it must be remembered that he was born by the goddess Parvati without any intervention on the part of her husband Shiva, and therefore his relationship with his mother is unique and specific. The sensitive nature of this relationship becomes clearer when reading the following legend:

As a child, Ganesha tormented a cat by pulling its tail, rolling it on the ground and causing it great pain, as spoiled children often do. After some time, when he became bored with this game, he went to his mother Parvati and found her suffering, covered with scratches and covered in dust. When asked what happened, he received the answer that it was his own fault. She explained that she was the same cat he was playing with.

His absolute attachment to his mother is the reason why in the South Indian tradition Ganesha is depicted alone, without a female partner. He considered his mother Parvati to be the most beautiful and perfect woman in the universe. Bring me an equally beautiful woman,” he said, “and I will marry her.” But no one could find an equal to the delightful Uma (Parvati), so the search continues to this day...

In contrast, in northern India, Ganesha is often depicted with two wives - the daughters of Brahma, namely Buddhi and Siddhi, who metaphorically express wisdom and achievement respectively. In yogic schools, Buddhi and Siddhi represent the feminine and masculine currents in the human body. Artworks express this aspect of Ganesha in a graceful and charming way.

In the tantric direction, Ganesha is depicted in the guise of Shakti Ganapati. Here he has four hands, two of which hold symbolic objects, and with the other two he embraces his concubine, who sits on his left thigh. The third eye in this image is, of course, the eye of wisdom, whose gaze penetrates beyond ordinary physical reality.

Ganesha corresponds to the mooladhara chakra in the human body; its color is red.

It is impossible to discuss Lord Ganesha without mentioning the mystical syllable OM. This is the most powerful, universal symbol of the divine presence in Hinduism. It is believed that this was the first sound after the creation of the world.

When inverted, this divine profile forms the profile of an elephant-headed deity.

Ganesha is thus the only deity associated in a "physical" sense with the prehistoric sacred sound OM - a powerful reminder of his high position in the Hindu pantheon.

Nandikeshvara

Deity with the head of an elephant. Referred to as the "Joyful Celestial" (歡喜天, Kangiten), the "Great Noble Celestial" (大聖天, Daishoten) or (in full) the "Great Noble Joyful Celestial of Self-Abiding" (大聖歡喜自在天, Daisho kangi jizaiten) .

Previously, Nandikeshvara were the leaders of the troops of Maheshvara (大自在天, Japanese: Daijizaiten), demon kings who brought misfortune and suffering to people, but after acquiring the Teachings of the Buddha they became deities of happiness and prosperity, guarding the Buddhist Law. By worshiping them, they eliminate disasters and suffering, and gain abundance and wealth.

In esoteric Buddhism, he is the Main Venerable of the group of Noble Celestials who bring virtuous happiness.

In Japan, they began to be seen as the guardians of harmonious relationships between spouses; They are placed in cabinets that can be opened with doors and are rarely put on display. Presented in the form of one or two figures; most often - in the second version, standing and hugging, in the guise of a man and a woman; chins are placed on the partner's right shoulder. Sometimes both heads are turned to the same direction; very rarely they imagine themselves kissing.

When they were still kings of evil demons who tormented people, Avalokiteshvara turned into a celestial maiden and satisfied demonic carnal passion; having converted to Buddhism, they became defenders of the teaching. They are called Vinayaka In Two Bodies (双身毘奈夜迦, Japanese soshin binayaka). The ritual of worship involves pouring oil and rice wine over the figures, which is why the small figurines, made of copper, have acquired a shiny black coating over the centuries. The ceremony of worship of the Noble Celestial is performed in secret by a group of initiates, and includes offerings of the Far Eastern radish (蘿蔔根, rafukon) in the form of a phallic symbol.

The figure of the Joyful Celestial with two hands is depicted in the outer limit of the Vajradhatu mandala; in some paintings or sculptures he is represented with four or six arms, and sometimes with three heads.
Vinayaka

Six Divisions of Vinayaka of the Four Directions (四方六部歡喜天, Japanese: shiho rokubu kangiten):

east - Diamond Crusher - sangai binayaka (umbrella),

south – Diamond Food – keman binayaka (garland),

west - Diamond Clothing - kokyusen b. (clutching bow and arrows),

north - Diamond Face - chozu-ten (Boar Head Deity),

north - Diamond Spell - koto binayaka (squeezing sword),

north - Vinayaka - kangi-ten (Joyful Deity).

The word Vinayaka means “remover”, “destroyer”; He is a deity who creates obstacles to the performance of rituals and the attainment of enlightenment, but he can remove these obstacles if he is appeased. His names are the same as those of Nandikeshwar; Keishitsu in Gyozohonki says the following about him:

This great, noble celestial-king is the freely transforming body of Maheshwar; the sacred teaching states that he is called the “Noble Celestial” because he possesses the Six Miraculous Insights; He is called the “Great Free Celestial” because he has completely mastered wisdom and compassion. He is not an ordinary Vinayaka, but the Body of Transformation of the Tathagata Mahavairocana, as well as the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, therefore, when speaking about his original body, they always add “Noble”.

His other Sanskrit names are Nandikeshvara (“Joyful Lord”), Ganesha (“Leader of the Troops”), Ganapati (“Lord of the Troops”). The last two names are given because he leads the hosts of Maheshvara (Ishan) warriors. The Gankoki says:

The power rooted in the virtue of compassion gives all Vinayakas a joyful heart (Japanese: kangisin), so that even torture has no effect on them.

It is also called “joyful” because in esoteric Buddhism it is closely associated with the delights that arise from sexual union. One of the images of Vinayak, used in secret rituals to redirect his energy to remove obstacles erected by him, shows him in the form of an embracing couple. The Kangi soshin kuyoho says:

The concubine of the celestial king of the Great Self-dwelling (Maheshvara), the goddess Uma (Umahi) gave birth to three thousand children. The thousand and five hundred are on the left, and the first among them is King Vinayaka, whose every action is evil. He presides over one hundred and seven thousand ranks of Vinayaka. The thousand and five hundred are on the right, and the first among them is the god Senayaka, an adherent of virtue, whose every action is good. He presides over one hundred and seven ten eight thousand ranks of warriors who act nobly and hold virtue high. King Senayaka - Body of Transformation Avalokiteshvara. In order to subdue the evil practices of King Vinayaka, he manifests himself in the guise of husbands and wives, appearing in exactly the same forms, hugging each other... In order to richly reward unfortunate living beings, Tathagata Mahavairocana manifests his Transformation Bodies in this way.

Vinayaka's embracing bodies are described in various texts such as Kangi Hisho, Kakuzensho and Byakuho Kusho. One of the legends says that the Noble Celestial was the son of Maheshwar's concubine. His appearance was vulgar, his ideas were low, his behavior was furious and malicious, which is why he was driven out of heaven. While living on Mount Vinayaka, he noticed a beautiful goddess who appeared nearby and attacked her, but she turned into a terrible demon who declared that she was Kundali. Seeing this disgusting form, Vinayaka was greatly frightened, but Kundali said: Now you are in my power, however, I will take pity on you and become your concubine, so that your consciousness will turn away from evil and be filled with beautiful things, and no longer create obstacles and difficulties.”

Another legend tells of a king who lived on the continent of Marakeira, who ate only beef and radishes. When all the cattle in his kingdom were eaten, he began to devour the flesh of the dead, and when they ran out, he began to eat living people. The Chief Minister, along with a group of subjects and soldiers, killed the loathsome king, who immediately turned into the evil demon Vinayaka and disappeared into the sky. After this, the kingdom was struck by famine and epidemics; then the minister and his subjects began to pray to Sahasrabhajarya Avalokiteshvara, who took the form of a Vinayaka woman, and this manifestation of the bodhisattva seduced the evil demon. Being in joy (kangi) from the sexual satisfaction received from his concubine, Vinayaka lifted the curse of hunger and disease from the country, and the people lived in peace.

In the Gankoki it is said that Vinayaka is the body of Transformation of Mahavairocana, “for which there is no place where it does not reach” (Japanese musho fushi-sin), which the Tathagata manifests for the liberation of living beings in a manner suitable for their perception. He is also the transformed body of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara: “The Bodhisattva manifests in this body as Vinayaka’s concubine, the bearer of virtue, and therefore turns Vinayaka away from creating obstacles.”

The Shosetsu Fudoki gives the following iconographic description of Vinayaka:

“He is depicted with a human body and the head of an elephant. In his right hand is a wide ax; the left one is bent at the elbow, and in the palm facing to the right, huge radishes are clutched, pointing to the left.”

The Darani Shukyo gives the following description:

“He has a human body and an elephant’s head. His right elbow is bent and a radish is clutched in his upward-facing palm. In his left fist, palm up, he holds a “ring of pleasure” (Japanese: kangi-ton). His body and hands are decorated with bracelets, necklaces, a belt, “morning haze” brocade (Japanese asagasumi) and other things. He sits with his legs bent."

Notes

Six supernatural abilities (Sanskrit: shadabhijna, Japanese: rokutsu).

Quote From: Mikkyo daijiten. P. 384, s. v. Kangiten.

Taishozo-zuzo 1:127.

Quote From: Mikkyo daijiten. P. 384, s. v. Kangiten. In the Diamond World mandala he is depicted in the same way, but sitting cross-legged on a lotus leaf. On Genzu-mandara he sits cross-legged, holding a radish in his left hand and an elephant goad-hook (sometimes a wide ax) in his right hand.

P.S. During meditation at the Diksha Evening on July 28, 2016, it sounded in my head: Ganesha and his image appeared before my eyes. The most interesting thing is that this happened at the end of the meditation, where I received a unique experience. One of those present’s phone rang, and I began to come out of my meditative state, at that moment everything happened.

Already at home I realized how original and funny everything had turned out, because... A few days ago in the evening I read K. Chukovsky’s fairy tale “Telephone” to my grandson. The beginning of this poem: “My phone rang – Who’s talking – Elephant...”. It happened the same way for me: the phone rang... And... the image of Ganesha appeared!!!

Ganesha, or Ganapati, is the god of wisdom and prosperity in Hinduism. One of the most famous and revered gods of the Hindu pantheon throughout the world. Often the respectful prefix Sri- is added before his name. One popular way of worshiping Ganesha is by chanting the Ganesha-sahasranama (Sanskrit: गणेश सहस्रनाम, “the thousand names of Ganesha”), each symbolizing a different aspect of the god, and the Ganapati Sukta.

Mantra: Ganesha – sahasranama (see other mantras below)

Interpretation of the name: Lord of the ganas (Ganapati; ganas are the army-retinue of Shiva)

Class: Lord of the Ganas (Shiva’s army-retinue), in his retinue there are also vraty - sorcerers, soothsayers and sorcerers;

Mentions: Rigveda, Atharvaveda, Ganapati Upanishad, Ganesha Purana, Mudgala Purana, Ganesha Sahasranama;

Related concepts: intelligence, reason, success, prosperity;

Character traits: Full man with an elephant's head and one tusk, number of arms - from 2 to 32; Maximum 32 hands – number of Lemurian Crystals in each hemisphere.

Vakhana(mount): rat or mouse; According to another version, a shrew or even a dog.

Shri Ganesha symbol - swastika.

Ganesha Day- fourth lunar. It is on the fourth lunar day of the month of Bhadra that the Chatur Ganesh festival is celebrated and is celebrated for the next 10 days.

Ganesha also represents the pranava OM, without which there is nothing in this world.

Om or Aum is a special mantra, it is called “pranava”. This is the original, sacred sound, the endless vibration of the Universe, the sound of creation. Most mantras in Buddhism, Hinduism, classical yoga and tantra begin and end with it.

In the Tirumantiram it is said: “He, the son of Shiva, has five hands, the face of an elephant and powerful tusks, like the appearance of the moon, he is the flower of wisdom residing in the heart, I praise his feet. Lord Ganesha, god of time and memory, residing in the Muladhara chakra, maintaining balance between the higher and lower chakras, supports all sentient beings. He holds the blueprints of the entire past and future of the entire universe - this divine masterpiece. Only goodness comes from God Ganesha, who, taking the form of an elephant, is different from other Gods. He averts misfortune from those who perform repentance in his name.

He guides our karma, being inside us and determining the time of events. Before undertaking any important undertaking, we ask him to remove obstacles from the path, if it be his will. This Lord of obstacles makes sure that we do not harm ourselves by living according to an imperfect plan or making unnecessary requests or starting an ill-conceived enterprise. Before we approach him, he expects us to apply all our mental faculties to arrive at the decision he has made.”

Chanting the name of Ganesha helps a person gain siddhi and inner strength to carry out any project. Along with various Indian Deities, on the Hindu altar there is always a murti of Ganesha - the son of Shiva and Parvati, the brother of Skanda. According to tradition, it is Ganesha who is the patron saint of a person leading a spiritual search, and also helps to establish a business, contributes to the prosperity of any business and removes all obstacles from the path of the person praying.

Being the guardian of Dharma and the son of divine parents, Ganesha is the patron of all yogis. Truly, he has many faces!

He is the Lord of intellect and self-realization!

Based on the lines of “Tirumantiram”, it is he who creates obstacles on the path of Kundalini and spiritual development, but he also destroys them at the moment when the time to “go up” has come. It is the anger of Ganesha that generates heat in the sympathetic nervous system and subsequent illnesses if a person artificially tries to raise Kundalini.

Ganesha = 53 = In India = Head = Sign 16 (indication of the 16-time universe and year 16)

Ganapati = 69 = Image of God = Secret = Sign 32 (maximum 32 hands and 32 Lemurian Crystals))

Sri Ganapati = 123 = Great name = Greatness of the Spirit = Law of Analogy = As a gift to me = Surprise = Transfiguration = Swast Astu (Swastika - symbol of Ganesha)

Shiva, Shakti and Parvati

Shiva(Sanskrit “good”, “merciful”) - a Hindu deity, the supreme God in Shaivism, together with Brahma and Vishnu, is part of the divine triad of Trimurti. The origins of the cult of Shiva go back to the pre-Vedic and Vedic periods. Shiva, as one of the Trimurti gods, is analogous to the Holy Spirit in the Orthodox religion. Shiva represents cosmic consciousness, the static male principle of the universe (Purusha), the oppositional Shakti (Prakriti), the dynamic feminine principle of the universe. More than anyone else, he deals with manifested matter, giving birth to universes.

According to the Shiva Purana, he is the creator of both Vishnu and Brahma. Represents both destructive and creative principles. In Hinduism, he has the epithet Mahadev, which translates as the greatest of the gods (devas). The five divine roles of Shiva are: creation, support, dissolution, concealment and bestowal of grace.

In some Indian traditions, Shiva is an absolute deity, performing the functions of both creation and destruction. In the Mahabharata, Ishana (one of the names of Shiva) is called “the original husband (adya purusha), the only incorruptible and eternal” and is identified with Brahma and Vishnu-Hari.

In Hinduism, each deity has its own Shakti(devi, goddess), and all together they represent the Personalities (personifications) and Powers (energies) of the one Brahman and his Shakti.

The word "shakti" (Sanskrit "power", "strength") has many meanings. Shakti is the name given to the great universal infinite Divine energy, which is the creative and executive force of the ocean of Divine Consciousness ( those. female creative power of Shiva).

At the same time, Shakti is in continuous fusion with Shiva, representing with him two inseparable aspects of one reality. Shakti is the Mother Goddess. Shakti is the manifested world. Shakti is called Mother Nature. Shakti is the name given to the Goddess, the wife of the god Shiva. Shakti is the internal energy of a person. Shakti is the cosmic feminine principle. Shakti is the feminine principle of a person, his female half. Shakti is the female partner of a tantric yoga practitioner. Shakti is Maya. Kali, Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Parvati, Chamunda, Devi, Bhavani, Tripurasundari, Bhairavi, Chandi, Tara, Meenakshi, Lalita, Kamakshi, Rajarajeshwari - various forms of Shakti; each of these forms personifies some aspect of it.

Parvati is considered to be a beneficial form of Shakti. Parvati is translated from Sanskrit as "Mountain One", as she is considered the daughter of Himavat (English), the lord of the mountains and the personification of the Himalayas. According to legend, Shiva's first wife, Sati, committed self-immolation, and after some time was reborn in the form of Parvati (in other versions she bore the name Uma), the daughter of Himavat and the apsara Menaka.

The obvious contradiction that Parvati is called “light, good” - Gauri, and at the same time called “black”, “dark” - Kali or Shyama, is explained by an Indian myth: when Shiva reproached Parvati for her dark skin, the angry Parvati left him and, Having performed a number of religious acts, she received fair skin as a gift from Brahma.

Seeking Shiva's love, Parvati settled next to him on the mountain Kailash, but Shiva at that time indulged in asceticism and rejected it. Then the gods, who wanted Shiva to have a son capable of defeating the demon Taraka, sent the god of love Kama to arouse love for Parvati in Shiva’s heart. An angry Shiva burned Kama with the fire of his third eye, but subsequently revived him. Then Parvati decided to indulge in asceticism herself for the sake of Shiva. Having learned about this, Shiva decided to test her, and, coming to her in the form of a brahman, began to blaspheme and scold himself. Parvati rejected all the slander and Shiva, touched by her devotion and beauty, took her as his wife. From this marriage the god of war Skanda and god of wisdom Ganesha.

Origin:

The earliest mentions of Ganapati found in two hymns of the Rig Veda, Suktas 2.23.1 and 10.112.9. The first sukta praises the deities Brahmanaspati and Brihaspati, which are usually regarded as the names of one deity, but there may be little doubt that the now known Ganapati grew out of the Brihaspati-Brahmanaspati of this sukta (Ghartsamanda-sukta), but the idea is undoubtedly Vedic:

gaṇānāṃ tvā gaṇāpatiṃ havāmahe kaviṃ kavīnāmupamaśravastamam ।

jyeṣṭharājaṃ brahmaṇāṃ brahmaṇaspata ā naḥ śṛṇvannūtibhiḥ sida sādanam ।

We call upon you, O Ganapati Ganov (leader of the heavenly armies)!

O Brahmanaspati of the Brahmanas (leader of the Brahmanas), Poet among poets (in the highest sense - as a creator among creators)!

In riches beyond all known, the most brilliant among beings!

Listen to our prayers, come with your blessing and sit down!

Commentators cite many details specifying the leader of the heavenly hosts to known aspects - in particular Indra and Agni, who are often worshiped together in the Vedas, as well as Rudra (Taittiriya Samhita and Vajasaneya Samhita describe Ganapati as Rudra). It is curious that there, as well as in the Shatapatha Brahmana, Agni is described as the giver of everything, having a large belly.

Ganapati is interestingly presented in the later Atharva Veda. Some deities who were not regarded as important and influential in the Rig Veda began to play a much more significant role in the Atharva Veda. Mother Earth - Prithvi becomes one of the central aspects and Brahmanaspati (Brihaspati) appears here as associated with her Vachaspati - patron of sacred speech. He is the first born among the gods, the number 21 is associated with him(5 mahabhutas, 5 tanmatras, 10 indriyas and karmendriyas and prana as life force). This group of 21 is called gana or vrata and Vachaspati is called Ganapati or Vratapati.

Mahabhuta (“primary element” or gross elements) - in Hinduism there are five great or universal elements: ether, air, fire, water and earth;

Tanmatras – five subtle elements (smell, taste, sight, sound, touch);

Indriyas - five organs of perception (nose, tongue, eyes, ears, skin);

Karmendriyas - five organs of action (arms, legs, organs of speech, reproduction and excretion);

He is also a Mahad-yaksha ( great mystical light), existing in the center of the world, and all gods are like branches of this central tree of the world.

Vachaspati also appears as the leader of the Yakshas. And these Yakshasas are not at all the demons that the later interpretation of mythology tries to present them with. Yaksha is a wonderful, exceptional, powerful and worshipable spirit. His retinue also includes lies - sorcerers, soothsayers and sorcerers... All of them subsequently migrated to Ganapati’s retinue as the son of Lord Shiva. And in fact, it is only from the Ganapati Upanishad that descriptions of the elephant-faced appearance of Ganapati appear.

Legends:

• According to one legend, his father, the god Shiva, deprived him of his head. Ganesha did not allow his father, who was inflamed with passion for his wife, into the chambers where she was. Then Shiva, in anger, deprived him of his head, throwing it so far that none of the messengers could find it. The goddess was angry and refused to allow Shiva to come to her until he corrected the situation. To appease his wife, Shiva sewed the head of a nearby baby elephant onto Ganesha. According to another version, they forgot to invite God to Ganesha’s birthday Shani (the personification of the planet Saturn), and he, appearing without an invitation, in anger incinerated the baby’s head with his gaze. Then Brahma advised Shiva to sew on the baby the head of the first creature he met. This creature turned out to be Indra's elephant - Airavata. According to oral Indian myths, Saturn (Shani), being one of the relatives, was invited to honor the newborn son of Shiva: Ganesha's mother, Parvati, certainly wanted to show the powerful relative the beautiful baby. Possessing a deadly look that he was unable to control, Shani refused the invitation for a long time, but he was finally persuaded. Shani's first glance at the son of Shiva turned his head to ashes. According to another version, the head simply fell off.
• It is believed that Ganesha loves corn balls with a sweet center. One day he ate too much sweets at his birthday party and, while traveling on a mouse, fell. The mouse was frightened by the snake crawling past and threw the god off of itself. As a result of this, Ganesha injured his stomach and all the sweets spilled out. But God was not at a loss and pushed them back, and bandaged his stomach with a snake that met him on the way.
• There are also several versions of legends regarding the loss of one tusk. According to one legend, Ganesha, while fighting the giant Gajamukha, broke off his own tusk and threw it at his opponent. The tusk had magical powers, and Gajamukha turned into a rat, then becoming the mount of Ganesha. Another legend says that once Shiva was visited by the sage Parashurama (an avatar of Vishnu), but Shiva was sleeping at that time, and Ganesha refused to let him in. Then Parashurama threw his ax at Ganesha and cut off his right tusk. There is also a legend that, while writing the Mahabharata under the dictation of Vyasa, Ganesha broke his pen and, not wanting to miss a word, broke off the tusk and began to write with it.
• Ganesha is also the lord of the ganas (Shiva's army and retinue). There is a legend that Ganesha and Skanda (both sons of Shiva) fought for this post, and in the end Shiva decided that the one who would run around the Galaxy faster would be the lord of the ganas. Skanda immediately took off and began his long journey, and Ganesha slowly walked around his parents in a circle, because it was Shiva and Parvati who were the personifications of the Galaxy. And after this Ganesha received the nickname “Ganapathi” (lord of the ganas).
• Shri Ganesha is depicted in the company of a mouse (a former demon), which, according to legend, he pacified and made his mount. The demon mouse symbolizes vanity and daring intentions. Thus, Ganesha eradicates false vanity, excessive pride, selfishness and insolence.

So, Ganesha, born from the union of two principles of the Universe, is defined as the first-born. He also represents the OM pranava, without which there is nothing in this world, i.e. he is a manifestation of the creative Primordial Sound.

God of wisdom and ruler of the heavenly host. Why such an emphasis on the head?

All legends give different interpretations of Ganesha losing his head. Or the father himself cut it off, and this is already a hint at the Masonic ritual of “beheading” associated with the victory of the spirit over the body, i.e. “cutting off” the lower, material chakras and the coming to power of the upper, spiritual chakras of a person.

In the case of the incineration of the head of the god Shani, who symbolizes Saturn, there is also an interesting moment. We can talk about Saturn for a long time and a lot, but regarding our topic, and it is directly related to the New Time, I will quote from L. Semyonova’s book “From Osiris to Santa Claus”: “ Saturn appears in the mythological arena both at the beginning and at the end as the ruler of the Golden Age. The Golden Age is characterized by man's heavenly life in close proximity to the gods. In Paradise there is no suffering and death, and therefore no time. But in the interval between the Golden Ages, Saturn from a god who rules endless time turns into a formidable god - the lord of life and death, whose symbol is an old man with a scythe, dispassionately mowing down any cycles. This suggests that time began to be calculated in cycles with a beginning and an end.

The Secret Doctrine says: “Chronos denotes the infinite and therefore motionless extension of Time, without beginning, without end, beyond the divisibility of Time and beyond Space. Chronos is then depicted mutilating Uranus, his father, that is, absolute time becomes finite and conditional; a part is taken from the whole, thus showing that Saturn, the Father of the gods, was transfigured from Eternal Duration in a limited period.”

The evolution of humanity consists in the evolution of its consciousness. And it is Chronos-Saturn that is responsible for this evolution. The human spirit, being a particle of divine consciousness, descended into the world of forms in order to, having gone through a cycle of development, become a self-conscious entity equal to God. The spirit, being divine from the beginning, did not have its own consciousness. Human consciousness, having gone through all stages of development, must ultimately become equal to divine consciousness, thereby achieving individual immortality.

“Endless time”, which E.P. speaks about. Blavatsky, is in the realm of immortality. Death did not exist for people of the first races who did not have consciousness. It was then that there was a Golden Age on Earth, ruled by Saturn. But then, when people received manastic fire, which was the beginning of the development of consciousness, “absolute time” became finite, it was transformed from Eternal Duration into a period limited by cycles of different durations.

In the myth, this is figuratively reflected in the fact that Saturn swallows his own newborn children, that is, time devours itself. Saturn, through time-limited cycles, controls the course of evolution, but his reign still has limits. The myth says that the moment will come when he will have to give up power to his son Zeus and return to his father Uranus, where there is infinite time, becoming once again the ruler of the Golden Age. Infinite time is beyond physical manifestation, in the area of ​​immortality of consciousness».

So, the god Shani (Saturn) burns the head of Ganesha, which is also very symbolic, because... is no longer associated with a scythe, but with fire. The words of Jesus come true: “I will come to baptize with Fire...”. Everything is intertwined into a single ball of associative connections. And besides, in some texts Ganesha is called the God of Time and this also connects him with Saturn-Kronos and changing cycles.

Shiva and Parvati = 120 = Immortality

Elephant Aivarata = 119 = Godman = Secret knowledge = Secrets of the world = Your greatness = Body of the mind = This is prana

Indra Aivaratha's Elephant = 196 = Reflection – Space

Airavata (Sanskrit “rising from the waters”) in Hinduism - white elephant, vahana (mount) of the god Indra. At Airavata's four tusks and seven trunks. Other names for Airavata are Ardhamatanga ("cloud elephant"), Nagamalla ("war elephant") and Arkasodara ("brother of the sun"). There is a version that Airavata appeared during the Churning of the Ocean of Milk. One legend describes that Airavata was born after Brahma chanted sacred Vedic hymns over the shell of the egg from which Garuda hatched. Following Airavata, seven more elephants and eight female elephants were born from the shell. Subsequently, Prithu made Airavata the king of all elephants. In India, it is believed that Aivarata was the progenitor of all elephants.

Indra or Sakra (lit. mighty, strong) is the king of the gods (devas) and the ruler of the heavenly kingdom (Svarga) in Vedism and Hinduism. Indra is one of the main gods of the Rigvedic pantheon, the thunderer (god of rain) and serpent fighter; the god of war, leading the devas in their confrontation with the asuras. The hymns of the Rig Veda glorify him as the demiurge who lifts the sky. He frees the dawn (Ushas) from the darkness of Vala and defeats the dragon Vritra. Like Zeus, Indra commits mischief, for which he is sometimes punished. Indra has many epithets. His weapon is the vajra and his vahana is the elephant Airavata.

Thus, Ganesha receives the head of the progenitor of all elephants, which are considered the most intelligent and wise animals. The emphasis on the head is very powerful. By the way, we know that the replacement of the heads of the sphinxes was associated with a change in the Grid of Consciousness of humanity on Earth. Isn’t this what the replacement of Ganesha’s head is talking about?

Symbolism.

Each part of Ganesha’s body has a hidden meaning:

- the elephant's head symbolizes manifestations of devotion and prudence;

Big ears speak of wisdom and the ability to listen to everyone who makes requests to the deity;

- the tusk is an indicator of power and the ability to overcome dualism;

- the curved trunk symbolizes the high intellectual abilities of Ganesha;

- a large belly demonstrates the special generosity of the deity, his desire to save the Universe from suffering.

M antras and puja of Ganesha:

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha- this is the main mantra dedicated to Ganesha. It bestows purity of intentions and, again, success in all endeavors.

Om Gam Ganapataye Sarve Vighna Raye Sarvaye Sarve Gurave Lamba daraya Hrim Gam Namaha - one of the most powerful mantras for gaining Wealth.

My research

I’m starting to understand my head, especially since Ganesha = Head

Elephant head = 117 = Energy = Creator = Victory has been won = Message = Hungarian = Hello brain

It is interesting that many years ago Nina N. had a dream in which she was told: “Lyuba Semyonova - head - a thousand, Luda Hungarian - brain - seven hundred.” Maybe the time has come when I am no longer just the brain, but the head as a whole, really the head of an elephant? Joke.

Elephant head Aivarata = 173 = Gift of Liberation = Finding the key = The key is consciousness = Human consciousness= You did it

Ganesha – key = 135 = Golden Buddha = Reflection - mind = Time does not wait = Find your “I” = We have been given the gift of love = Gaining Mind = Prototypes= Gift of the Spirit

All calculations point to consciousness, to a change in consciousness, and the key is Ganesha. In fact, a change of head is a change of consciousness! It’s interesting that on Lyuba’s first trip to India, when our entire group visited the main Ganesha Temple, she bought key rings with Ganesha there and only yesterday she found the two remaining ones in her bins and took them out, knowing nothing about my research.

Change head = 222 = Great Time of Change = Complete head replacement!!! = Attention! Attention! Attention! = Mystery "Meeting" = Mystery "Gift of Fire" = In the Church of the Resurrection = Supreme Harmony= Universe at work = Spiritual resonance = Program change = Reset has begun = New Stage of Unity = Fiery Energy = Transformation of form= Bring light to the brain = Revival ritual = The essence of human life = Remove the fog from the head = I have found my strength

Wow! José Argüelles said about the number 222: “ Something important is happening. Resurrection symbol" There are several confirmations at once, both through calculations and through symbolism, that a change of head means resurrection, i.e. a new life, life on a different level of consciousness. The phrase “highest harmony” is used in the calculation. Indeed, in that meditation, when Ganesha appeared to me, I was in a state of supreme harmony, in that zero state, which I had read and heard about, but had never experienced before, complete bliss and I simply did not exist.

I started looking at the Dictionary for the number 222 and found a lot of important and interesting things there, which I wrote down, but when I got to the letter “P” and saw the phrase: “ Complete head replacement”, and then also “Transformation of form” and “Bring light to the brain”, which is generally a direct appeal to me, because. there was a dream about me about the brain, but there aren’t even words!

Here it is, confirmation that my thoughts are correct. When such synchronization occurs in calculations, this is confirmation of the correct direction of the work of consciousness and thought. Change head = Complete head replacement, i.e. another step in expanding consciousness has been taken!

So, Ganesha has the head of an elephant and is sometimes called elephant-headed.

elephant head = 171 , and this number is calculated by the phrase “ keystone" We worked with this concept for a very long time. The keystone crowns the arch, as if locking it, and when it is installed, the vault can no longer collapse. The capstone is also the Ben-Ben egg at the top of the pyramid and much more, which indicates the definite completion of construction, i.e. completion of the cycle.

Probably, the awareness of the energies of Ganesha is a certain final stage in some kind of construction and marks a new step in a new creation.

The elephant's head is something special. In the symbolism of Ganesha's body parts, small eyes are also mentioned, which indicates concentration, i.e. look at the world not with the help of external eyes, but with the help of inner spiritual vision. And big ears - the ability to listen and hear, a big head of a thinker and a small mouth - “silence is golden.” But what attracts most attention is the trunk.

Trunk = 77 = Source = Speech= Air

But it is said that Ganesha, like Vachaspati, is patron of sacred speech.

Elephant trunk = 141 = Single number

“The Secret Doctrine” - the Number of the One or the Single Number from which everything came to be - our program, with which we are still working.

Ganesha's trunk = 139 = Breath of the Spirit = The sign indicates= Our consciousness = Man in Spirit = Claircognizance = Truth Revealed

“Trunk” = Air, and “Trunk of Ganesha” = Breath of the Spirit, indicating the elements of Air, Ether and Spirit. I was interested in the phrase “The sign indicates” and I decided to construct a question phrase: “What does the sign indicate”? And she got the number 216, which is clearly 2016! I decided to see what phrases are in the Dictionary for this date.

What does the sign indicate? = 216 = Sign of Initiation = Consciousness is the main thing= Global Event = Decisive Moment = Finish Dash = Divine birth = The future is already at hand= The fire has begun = Set your hearts on fire = Dialogue through numbers = United humanity = We started connecting= Our Higher Powers = Christ Consciousness = Sacred Times = Do the Impossible = As is in Heaven, so is on Earth = You have a chance

Appearance of Ganesha = 148 = Reflection – Light

The appearance of Ganesha to people = The appearance of Ganesha in the world of Earth = 245 = Immortal body of Light = Attention - new program = New Kryon program = Kryon's appeal to everyone = Change of our program = Complete the waltz tour = Attention - keystone = Resurrection and Ascension = Flame of Ascension Sign = Materialize the sound Om = Fiery initiation = Last stage = The passage of time has changed = I work with Kryon = Clairvoyance - knowledge of the Spirit

It turns out that the appearance of Ganesha is a sign that warns of a certain global event, a final push that awaits us and this will be another step towards the Light and a new evolutionary leap of consciousness!

Ganesha appeared before me on July 28, 2016 . It is very important that this happened exactly 21 days before August 18. 21 is the number of our LC Venice and the symbolic number of Ganesha, but August 18 is a very important date, which Saint-Germain said at the beginning of the year:

“The important, central date of 2016 will be the day of the Heliacal rising of Sirius. This year it will take place on August 5th. On August 18, there will be an alignment of the Earth and the Sun relative to our Spiritual Sun – Sirius “C”. This day is especially significant. Because it is on this day that the opportunity is created to introduce basic evolutionary development programs for the second half of the year. And at all times it was believed that on this day Sirius opens channels of spiritual insight, sending special energies to Earth. Sirius on this day will make it possible to lay many of the foundations for changing the Law of Defense. Packages of energy information will come from the Spiritual Center of our Galaxy, which will allow us to combine the spiritual impulse of Sirius with the tasks of correcting space-time. We have to combine the impulse influence of Sirius with previously prepared programs for this correction.

August 18th is the central date for our light work. This day is the most important culminating point associated with the creation of a new space-time.”

August 18, 2016 is the 29th anniversary of the First Harmonic Convergence! Accordingly, this date is directly related to Ganesha as the God of Time!

According to the Mayan calendar, this is also a very interesting day, because... it combines the First Seal and the 13th Tone (the last).

Red Dragon Seal - Birth. Being and Memory. Nutrition.

Open up to the energies of Birth and Hopes - the highest faith in the omnipotence of existence, and let them express themselves in your life. Focus both on independence and on gratefully accepting the necessary nutrition from the Universe. This is the only way life will help you fulfill your deepest needs. Let the energy of birth initiate and implement your endeavors.

The East initiates, the throat chakra.

Motto: I nourish the birth of my being with primordial trust.

13 Tone – Cosmic Tone of Presence

Presence. Persistence. Transcendence.

Cooperation allows Presence to reign. Presence is an invisible force, the basis of all existence. To be “here and now” at every moment of your life means to experience the fullness of existence. Tone 13 teaches you the power of resilience - to be, no matter what, and gives you that transcendental strength that leads you to new heights.

Yes, not in the eyebrow, but in the eye. The birth of a new thing, and this is Ganesha. And also Presence and Transcendence, which is what I experienced in this meditation.

I’ll try to figure out the trunk, because this is the most striking detail in the image of Ganesha.

For an elephant, the trunk is its hand, and in this case Ganesha has three hands. Isn’t this connected with the energies of the “Three-Handed” icon of the Mother of God and, in general, the additional hand leads to our third hand program, with which we have been working for several years. Here is the third hand of the Mother of God in her icon, and the Hand of God the Father appearing from a cloud on some icons, and the hand of John of Damascus, which was cut off by the pasha and then grew back, which is where the cult of the hand arose, and much more. This is also a manifestation of the Principle of Triality, but what else?

Three arms of Ganesha = 171 = Elephant Head = Capstone

Now this is a very interesting confirmation. In addition, the “capstone” is also calculated with this number. It turns out that it is the thought of three hands that is the key to deciphering the trunk symbol. Moreover, the word “trunk” itself is calculated as “Source” (see above).

Another interesting thing. The Tirumantiram says: “He, the son of Shiva, has five arms....” What are these five hands? Please note that although Ganesha is believed to have between 2 and 32 arms, he is usually depicted with four arms, as in the picture on the left and in all pictures where his symbolism is presented. Moreover, if Indian gods have several hands depicted, they are always paired, i.e. There are an even number of them, but here are five? I believe that this refers to the trunk, which is the hand, at least for the elephant.

Further, for an elephant, the trunk is also a nose, and for Ganesha too. Little of, Trunk = Air, and this is a direct indication of the nose. And we know well that the nose is associated with Initiation. No wonder the Ankh - the Key of Eternal Life - was brought to the nose of the initiate, as depicted in many Egyptian frescoes. So Ganesha’s nose is not even simple.

And further Trunk = Speech, and Ganesha, as mentioned above, is also patron of sacred speech. Further, we know that the elephant trumpets and he trumpets with his trunk, i.e. the trunk gives birth to sound. Is this not an allusion to the Primary Sound OM, which created the world and whose pranava is Ganesha?

Several years ago Lyuba gave a very clear image of three hands. There is a door, it has two handles (hands), to open it we use our hand, i.e. third hand. In other words: the third hand can be symbolically regarded as that which opens the Doors of the Spirit. In fact, it turns out that the trunk is a spiritual hand, because it is connected with the air and with the Primordial Sound. And in the calculation we immediately receive confirmation of this.

Trunk – spiritual hand of Ganesha = 308 = Ideal reflection – Ganesha calling = Divine Reality = The door of ascension is open =Key changes on Earth = New program "Resurrection" =Star of the Unified Galactic Brain = Opening the Gate to Eternity = Opening the Spiritual Gates = Birth of Christ Consciousness = Christ energy has arrived = I Am the door of the Living Christ

So, let’s look further into why in the previous calculation there are several phrases indicating the birth of the Christ Consciousness? I highlighted them. The figure demonstrates what follows very well. The combination of the male and female principles gives rise to something third. In matter it is a child, but we already know well that in the higher worlds it is the third - Consciousness! The combination of two great principles (signs) of the Universe creates CONSCIOUSNESS, i.e. the realizing and cognizing principle of the Universe. And it is Ganesha, the god of Wisdom, who is his manifestation, i.e. manifestation of Christ consciousness. Not only calculations indicate this, the Ganesha principle itself confirms this. In fact, Ganesha is the Vedic hypostasis of Christ. No wonder he is the most beloved god in Hinduism. Christ said that only through him can one go to the Father, and the phrase from the calculation is not without reason related to Ganesha: “ I Am the Door of the Living Christ»!

So this is the door that the THIRD HAND of Ganesha opens!

Ganesha is calling = 108 = Living Head = Elephant = Connection = Connected! = Nature of God

Firstly, 108 is a sacred number in India; it is not for nothing that Buddhist rosaries have 108 beads. And secondly, based on 216 (see above) we have the phrases “We started compound» and “As is in Heaven, so is on Earth.” And in the calculation, not only the word “connection”, but also “connected”! Makes you think about a lot. 308 is actually my number, because... This is the counted last name, first name and patronymic.

Ganesha calls to India = 183 = Great Mission = Reflection – Center = Special door = Door to immortality = Path of Wisdom = Magic work = Bringers of fire = Conversation with the Spirit

Call of Ganesha = 90 = From the Beginning = God Helios = God of Fire = Word of God !

The call of Ganesha is heard = 214 = Ganesha calls to Orissa!!! = Epiphany in man = Emphasis on immortality = Gate of the Spirit over the Himalayas = Gate of Jesus Christ = Ancient Homeland = Knowing the True Self = Our new program = Man from Eternity

Interesting phrases in the calculation: “Gate of the Spirit over the Himalayas” and “Gate of Jesus Christ.” The fact that Ganesha is the hypostasis of Jesus Christ has already been said above, but also the fact that his mother Parvati, which is translated as “Mountain”, is the personification of the Himalayas, puts an important emphasis on the number 214. And accordingly, on the phrases: “Call Ganesha is heard" and "Ganesha is calling to Orissa." Apparently, the path to Orissa has been paved for the group and Ganesha himself will lead us, as was the case on the first trip to India.

Connection with Ganesha = 196 = Spiritual consciousness = Light of the Living Christ = Indra Aivaratha's Elephant = Reflection – Space = Divine image = Key to the Source = Key setup = Head cleansing = Awaken the God within = Manifestation of the Mind of God = Path to the Source = Unity Energy = This is creation

The connection with Ganesha occurred = 337 = Attention! Keystone in the center = Sign ((GOD)) = Group Spiritual Alignment = The power of Spiritual alchemy = Invitation to the Solar City = Understand the meaning of Eternity = Correspond to the Prototype = It's a magical connection

We have already found out above that the Capstone = Elephant Head. So, in the center is Ganesh, i.e. consciousness, which is what we see in the figure above. I am interested in the Sunny City, and I ask:

What is "Sunny City"? = 324 = Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! = Return to your childhood home = Enter the space of Unity = Energy of a new reality = This is the Ascension of the planet into the light = This Initiation is Ascension

Ganesha opens the door to the Source = 348 = Ideal reflection - the appearance of Ganesha = Emphasis on the number 171 (171 = Elephant Head) = Attention! A new program has begun = Program "Resurrection and Ascension" = Walk the Path of Christ Consciousness = Transition to a new octave of Being = The light of consciousness opens the hatch = Three: Will, Love, Wisdom = Three: Father and Son and Holy Spirit = This is an emphasis on the Ascension of man = I believe in you, my loving Jesus!

Ganesha calls us to follow him, he shows the path - the Path of Christ Consciousness. And the door to this path is opened by Ganesha, i.e. it is revealed by our awareness - wise consciousness, and no one else and nothing can do this, just ourselves!
