Om Shri Ganeshaya Namah ~ Shubh Prabhat Divine Souls 🕉

Goddess Parvati didn’t want to be disturbed, she told Nandi to guard the door and let no one pass. But, when Shiva came home, loyal Nandi had to let him pass. Parvati was angry, even more at the fact that she had no one as loyal to Herself as Nandi was to Shiva. So, taking the paste from her body and breathing life into it, she created Ganesha, declaring him to be her own loyal son.

The next time Parvati she posted Ganesha on guard duty. Shiva came home, only to find this strange boy telling him he couldn’t enter his own house! Shiva in his divine fury severed Ganesha’s head, killing him instantly. When Parvati learned of this, she was so enraged and insulted that she decided to destroy the entire Creation!

Shiva realised his mistake. Soon the head of a strong and powerful elephant, was placed onto Ganesha’s body. Breathing new life into him, Shiva declared Ganesha to be his own son as well, and gave him the status of being foremost among the gods, and leader of all the ganas, Ganapati.

Parvati is the Parashakti (Supreme Energy). In the human body She resides in the Muladhara chakra as the Kundalini shakti. It is said that when we purify ourselves, ridding ourselves of the impurities that bind us, then the Lord automatically comes.

Nandi, who Parvati first sent to guard the door represents the divine temperment. Nandi is so devoted to Shiva that his every thought is directed to Him, and he is able to easily recognize the Lord when He arrives. This shows that the attitude of the spiritual aspirant is what gains access to Devi’s (the kundalini shakti’s) abode.

Parvati took the turmeric paste from Her own body, and created Ganesha. Ganesha is the deity who guards muladhara chakra. Devi creates Ganesha, who represents the earthbound awareness, as a shield to protect the divine secret from unripe minds. It is when this awareness begins to turn toward the Divine, as Nandi had, that the great secret is revealed.

Shiva is the Lord and Supreme Teacher. Ganesha here represents the ego-bound Jiva. When the Lord comes, the Jiva, surrounded as it is with the murky cloud of ego, usually doesn’t recognize Him, and maybe even ends up arguing or fighting with Him! Therefore, it is the duty of the Lord, in the form of the Guru, to cut off the head of our ego! ✨🐘✨👁🕉📿🌀🎨✨🙏
