Who is Lord Ganesh?
Ganesha is the formless Divinity - encapsulated in a magnificent form, for the benefit of the devotee. As per Hindu mythology, he is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. He is also known as Ganapati, Vinayak, Vighnaraja, Vighnaharta and many more to name a few.
The Meaning of Ganesha
Gan means group. The universe is a group of atoms and different energies. This universe would be in chaos if there was no supreme law governing these diverse groups of entities.
The Lord of all these groups of atoms and energies is Ganesha.
He is the supreme consciousness that pervades all and brings order in this universe.
The Essence of Lord Ganesha
The essence of Ganesha / Ganapati and is brought out beautifully by Adi Shankara.
Though Ganesha is worshipped as the elephant-headed God, the form (swaroop) is just to bring out the formless (parabrahma roopa).
He is, 'Ajam Nirvikalpam Niraakaaramekam.' This means Ganesha is Ajam (unborn), he is Nirvikalpa(attributeless), he is Niraakaar (formless) ganesha symbolism represents the consciousness which is omnipresent.
Ganesha is the same energy which is the reason for this universe. It is the energy from which everything manifests and into which everything will dissolve.
Sri Ganesha! Jai Ganesha!
