Despite of his looks and abnormal form, Ganesha has millions of followers and devotees all over the world. This amply illustrates the point that true devotion to God independent of our mental notions of form and beauty and that men are capable of worshipping God in all his manifestations, irrespective of what he appears to be.
Ganesha has a peculiar beauty and charm of his own. His is not a surface beauty. Hidden behind his peculiar features is a far deeper harmony which a casual glance fails to notice. As you become his true devotee and open your heart to his love, you realize his truly radiant personality. When he touches your heart, you see in Him the beauty of true innocence, purity, divinity and a childlike consciousness that touches your heart with all its captivating charm and ever flowing tenderness. No other god brings out the child in you with all the associated feelings as Ganesha does. No other god, with the sole exception of perhaps his parents, invokes in you the combined feelings of awe and fear. Those who have true devotion to him are able to experience these emotions and understand his true significance.
Ganesha is known by many names. The most popular ones include: Ganapathi (Lord of the ganas), Vighneswara (lord of the obstacles), Lambodara (potbellied), Vakrathunda (with a curved trunk), Mahaganapathi (great Ganapathi), Parvathinandana (son of Parvathi), Mushikavahana (rider of a mouse), Ekadantaya (one with one tusk), Kumaraguru (child guru), Siddhivinayaka (boon giver), and Balaganapathi (child Ganapathi). There are many other names and forms. There is no temple in India, old or new, without an image of Ganesha in the temple precincts.! 🐘💙🕉💫💛🌷🌀🎨🙏🏻
