According to Ganesha Upanishad, one should meditate upon Lord Ganesha as having one tusk and four arms, with the two upper arms holding the noose and goad, while one of the lower ones is held in the posture of giving (varada) and the other in the posture of assurance (abhaya).

According to Ganesha Upanishad, one should meditate upon Lord Ganesha as having one tusk and four arms, with the two upper arms holding the noose and goad, while one of the lower ones is held in the posture of giving (varada) and the other in the posture of assurance (abhaya). The elephant head symbolizes strength, majesty, peace, power, knowledge and wisdom. The weapons symbolize his power, strength, mastery and leadership. His large belly symbolizes the womb of the universe and abundance. He is the first god to awaken in our consciousness and the first god to preside over our inner transformation. As Vighneswara, the remover of obstacles, he removes ignorance, the biggest obstacle in our spiritual transformation. Seated in the Muladhara chakra, he opens the blockages of inertia (tamas) present in the body and facilitates the passage of Kundalini and the free flow of spiritual energy. As the harbinger of good, messenger of God and lord of the divinities, he fulfills the desires of his devotees and opens to them the doors of prosperity and abundance. His vehicle is the lowly mouse. His association with it symbolises his lordship or control over fear, hesitation, weakness, doubt and nervousness, which the mouse symbolises. He removes these obstacles to facilitate success and achievement for those who pray to him.! Jai Shri Ganeshaya Namah ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
