Ganesha, born to Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati, is venerated by various names such as Sumukha, Ekadanta, Kapila, Gajakarna, and Lambodara.
His distinctive elephant head is emblematic of wisdom, discernment, and the intellectual acumen essential for achieving perfection in life. Just as his trunk can grasp anything in the universe, individuals are encouraged to cultivate adaptability and efficiency in their lives.
The four arms of Lord Ganesha symbolize the four intrinsic aspects of the subtle body: mind (Manas), intellect (Buddhi), ego (Ahamkara), and conditioned conscience (Chitta). Lord Ganesha personifies pure consciousness, the Atman, which facilitates the functioning of these four attributes within us.
