1-Today is the #Birth #Anniversary of quite possibly the most interesting #God in the #Sanatana #Pantheon - #Ganehsa!

For #AyurvedicAstrology and #VedicAstrology #Tradition in general – Ganesha is the central #God controlling all the #Planets.

2-The Puja timings at most places today in #India are between 11 and 1 during the day.

No tradition is as rich in #Mythical #Symbolism (that if properly meditated upon – can point to the reality) – as the Vedic Tradition.

3-According to the #Vedic Traditions of #Yoga, #Vastu, #Ayurveda and #Jyotish

..the following are the #Metaphors and #Allegories associated with #Ganesha

4-Ganesha’s #Embodiment represents an #Expression of the #Five #Universal #Elements

The crossed legs represented by a #Square are a manifestation of the physical world through the #Earth element.

5-His belly, shown by a circle, depicts the #Space element, which is the vast universal #Womb, pregnant with trillions of #Galaxies.

His Face, denoted by a #Triangle, is a #Symbol of the #Fire element, which expresses #Comic #Wisdom.

6-The #Hexagonal #Crown is a symbol of the #Air element,

..which denotes #Cosmic #Prana - the flow of #Consciousness and Intelligence

The #Cresscent #Moon over the Crown is a symbol of #Soma, the pure essence of cosmic #Water.

7-It also represents Ganesha’s absolute #Mastery over the cosmic #Mind at the time #Creation.

On the top of the crescent is a #Flame of #Light, which is the Flame of pure #Awareness and #Bliss

8-May #Ganesha strike root in all our Chakras and drive our #Sadhana...

Then...

Now....

And always...

Om Tat Sat!
