Creative wishes everyone a peaceful and prosperous Ganesh Chaturthi

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy Ganesh Chaturthi. The idea behind this practice is to make sincere attempts at emulating Ganesh, although once it was all about bringing people together.

Ganesh is the symbol of perfection and society. His girth allows him to digest all sorts of problems. Ganesha’s trunk symbolises the fact that the wise person has both immense strength and fine discrimination. Ganesha has large ears that symbolize a patient man who accepts all information.

In one hand he holds a lotus, the symbol of enlightenment. In the other hand he holds a hatchet. That is, the old karma, all your sanskars, the accumulated good and bad of past deeds get cut when enlightenment comes. The third hand holds laddus or in some cases modaks. They are the rewards of a wise life. Ganesha is never shown eating the laddus. The wise man never partakes of the rewards of his deeds. He is not attached to them. The fourth hand is shown blessing the people. The wise man wishes the best for everyone.

We hope on this day of all days, you learn to value all that you have and dedicate yourself to fulfilling the worthy purpose you were placed in this world for.
