Ganesha: Lord of Begginnings and Obstacles Remover



Ganesha is the Elephant God and is known and regarded as Remover of Obstacles.
In Hindu mythology, is the eldest son of Shiva. Ganesha is considered the lord of beginnings.

Obstacles and the Obstructions of Life Energy
What is an obstacle? An obstacle is something that was hidden initially and shows up later.
To illustrate this point: you start some action, you have some plan, and then following your plan you start that action. But as you are progressing in action you find obstacles. These obstacles are unforeseen things that arose after you started a project.

Why did you not foresee it? Because of the inability of the human mind to foresee everything. You can, of course, foresee certain obstacles, but not all of them. The whole of human life has been spent in trying to discover obstacles which lie in the future, and then trying to figure out what to do to remove the obstacles. The whole life or many lives have been spent in trying to discover obstacles and overcoming them so that the future generations are able to benefit from it.

In other words, the whole human life revolves around finding obstacles and removing them, and this is what life is mostly about.


This recitation is for removing obstacles (physical, emotional, mental, financial, spiritual).

Mantra: Om Gum Ganeshaya Namaha
(Pronounced: Ohm Gum Guh-nuh-es-shi-ya)

May Lord Ganesh help to remove all your obstacles! :)

Peace, Love & Brown Rice
Mind Of Peace
