Ganesh - The Lord of Success, Destroyer of Evils and Obstacles
Ganesha, son of Shiva and Parvati, has an elephants head,usually with a curved trunk and a huge pot-bellied body of a human being.
He is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also worshiped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth. He is God of prosperity, Remover of obstacles, and God of wisdom. His image is artistic, creative and unique.
The Trunk of Ganesha represents the Om symbol. When his trunk turns to the left, he is called Vamamukhi, this is the most often seen and used in homes. The moon's energy flow(channel) is on the left side of our bodies and is associated with qualities of mind like calmness, tolerance, patience and our creativity.When this trunk shows him eating sweet balls or laddu it indicates material prosperity and comforts.
Ganesha with his trunk turned to the right direction is Dakshinabhimukhi murti. He is also called Siddhi Vinayaka. The trunk iin this position relates to the Sun channel in our bodies . This Ganesha helps in attaining ultimate happiness.
"According to Mudgal Purana, Ganesha’s left-side trunk indicates Rajasic (being active) qualities in us, right-side trunk indicates Tamasic (being slow or inactive) qualities, and trunk in the middle indicates Satwik or enlightenment." From AstroVed.com
