So, You Think You Know Ganesha?

The most famous, unforgettable, and universally visible of all the Vedic divinities is Ganesha, the elephant-headed first child of Shiva and Durga, aka Father and Mother Nature. Ganesha, whose name became Ekadantaya, was the scribe for Veda Vyasadev because he used one of his tusks to write down the Vedas and the Mahabharata, the largest epic poem in existence, in the most perfect language the world has ever seen.

So, who is this enigmatic and almost cartoonish deva, teasing us by being half-animal/half-human? What do all the crazy stories really mean? You will be amazed at the encoded messages hidden in these stories…

…why was Ganapati shaped from the scrapings of his divine mother’s skin while she was alone taking a bath? Why is his younger brother Kartikeya or Skanda, as in Scandinavia, the ultimate warrior who never married? Why does Ganesha have two inseparable sisters as his wives whose names are Buddhi (discernment) and Siddhi (perfection)? Why is he called Vigna raja and Vigna karta, meaning both ‘the placer’ and ‘the remover of obstacles’? And finally, why is Vakratunda, the one with the twisted trunk, the patron devata of Jyotishis?

In this full-day seminar, you will learn Gana Isha’s deepest secrets: how he empowers us as removers of obstacles for our clients; how to chant a collection of his most empowering mantras; and why January is his month. You will learn the secret to his bija mantra gang and why the words genes, genetics and hundreds of other English words. The meanings of those words are the secret family of our enigmatic long-time friend Ganesha.

…why he is called Brahmarupaya, the form of the transcendental realm, temporarily manifest within matter and finally…

…why the elephant rides a mouse and why this is an elephant you’ll never forget.
