Spiritual Significance – Ganesha and the Lotus
Ganesha is one of the most beloved Indian deities. He is worshipped as the deity of wisdom, knowledge, and success, especially at the beginning of important tasks. Furthermore, Ganesha is also the god of luck and prosperity and the protector of travelers.
This statue depicts Ganesha, sitting in a meditative posture on a lotus flower. The lotus symbolizes spiritual awakening, purity, and inner peace. This flower grows from muddy waters but remains clean – which also illustrates man's ability to maintain inner light and peace, regardless of external circumstances. The statue thus symbolizes protection, balance, and support in new beginnings and overcoming life challenges.
Symbolism and Messages of the Four Arms
Ganesha's four arms and the objects they hold carry deep spiritual messages:
- Upper Right Hand (Axe - Parashu): Symbolizes the breaking of ties with the past and the removal of illusions. With it, he cuts the bonds that tie us to ego, fears, and limitations.
- Upper Left Hand (Kalasha – Ritual Pot): The Kalasha symbolizes **abundance, prosperity, and the fullness of life**. It represents divine energy and the essence of immortality (Amrita) and brings blessings to the material and spiritual world.
- Lower Right Hand (Blessing): It is in the posture of blessing (Abhaya Mudra), which signifies protection and support to his worshipper and the dispelling of fear.
- Lower Left Hand (Modak): Holds a bowl of sweet rice balls (Modak), which represent spiritual sweetness – the fruits of inner wisdom and enlightenment.
Additional Symbolism: Mouse (Vahana)
A mouse, his vehicle (Vahana), sits at Ganesha's feet. It symbolizes humility and the ability to penetrate the smallest corners of consciousness. It also signifies that Ganesha, despite his greatness, remains humble.
His presence in the home or space should bring peace, wisdom, and prosperity.
