Lord Ganesh With Four Arms~Stone Resin Ganesh Hindu Deity ~ Four Armed Ganesh Playing Sitar Our Ganesh has four arms and is playing the sitar, with his small mouse/rat, ever at his feet. He sits on a lotus pedestal, and a lotus halo sets off his head. The lotus represents The Reality. Ganesh sitting on the lotus indicates that he is ever-rooted in the infinite Reality. He looks to be carved carefully out of clay, sandstone, or bone. In reality, this Ganesh is made from a stone resin, in a light tan color, bathed in a lovely brown wash. The figurine stands about 5 1/2" tall, 3" wide, and about 1 1/2" deep. The back of Ganesh is flat, and would fit nicely against a wall or in a shrine. Placed in plain view, he can be a daily reminder of the your goals or obstacles you are moving through. A fine gift for anyone interested in Hindu Diety or for your favorite elephant collectors!

Hindu God Ganesh Statue ~ White Stone Resin Ganesh Figurine The Hindu Lord Ganesha / Ganesh removes all obstacles on the path of the spiritual aspirant, and bestows upon him worldly as well as spiritual success. So he is called VIGNA VINAYAKA or VIGHNESHWAR (remover of, or lord over, obstacles). The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesh is shown as having a human body and the head of an elephant. There are many tales to describe how Ganesh came to have an elephant head. In one story, Shiva set off travelling when Ganesh was young and went away for many years. When he returned, he found Parvati talking to an adult Ganesh, and assuming Ganesh was a stranger there to woo his wife, he chopped off his own son's head. Parvati was so upset that in order to placate her, Shiva said he would replace Ganesh's head with that of the first living being he came upon. This happened to be an elephant, and so now Ganesh is portrayed as having the head of an elephant. Ganesha is the God of Knowledge and remover of obstacles. He is invoked at the beginning of any endeavor. It is believed that for the fulfillment of one's desires, Ganesh's blessing is absolutely necessary. Lord Ganesha, from whom emanates profound knowledge, and cosmic music and rhythm, is the Master of the Gana (all existing beings). Ganesh is also the master of sound : he plays music and dances, often shown dancing when hearing drumbeat and flute playing. He dances to dispel gloom and to destroy obstacles standing in his way. A very complex deity, Ganesh is known in many forms. The four-armed Ganesha is an embodiment of truth, discretion, having control over money power and bondage. These four arms represent the four inner equipments of the subtle body, namely mind (manas), intellect (buddhi), ego (aharnkar) and conditioned consciousness {chitta). Lord Ganesh represents the pure Consciousness, the Atman (essence of the Universe) which enables these four equipments to function in you. |
