Countless stories surround Ganesha, the popular elephant-headed Hindu god. He is known as the Lord of all obstacles and can remove them if asked... he is therefore also a god of good beginnings, who can grant you serenity and confidence in situations of new beginnings and change. One asks Ganesha when one needs luck for a journey or an undertaking. One asks Ganesha for protection and blessings, for example when moving into a new home. Merchants revere him as their personal patron. And Ganesha grants all this with mischievousness and wisdom and open hands. Now, do not forget to offer him incense, a Laddu, or a flower now and then - so that the cozy elephant god may awaken and strengthen the good forces within you.
Ganesha Sharananam! is one of his mantras... I seek refuge in Ganesha.
