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 also a god of good beginnings, who can give you serenity and confidence in situations of new beginnings and change. One asks Ganesha when one needs luck for the 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 an incense stick, a laddu, a flower from time to time - 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.
