Ganesha Brahmotsavam is the celestial celebrations of the Avataric birth of Lord Ganesha. It is the time when the consciousness and energy of Ganesha can be tapped in the best way. It is also the time when the Kundalini energy can be harnessed unalloyed at its source.
Lord of Completion, Auspiciousness & Remove of Obstacles
Ganesha is the elephant-faced god of Vedic tradition. He is the son of Devi Parvati and Lord Paramashiva. Once Devi Parvati – the Cosmic Mother – decided to have a personal bodyguard for Her. She made a ball of sandal paste and did the Prana-Pratishtha – installation of life energy to it. Immediately the ball became a small boy and He was named Ganesha.
In the school of Yoga, Muladhara chakra – the energy center in the root of the spine is the seat of Kundalini energy – the extraordinary potential energy in all human beings through awakening which human beings experience success, mystical powers, leadership qualities, health, and above all Enlightening consciousness. The personification of this Muladhara energy is Lord Ganesha. The Agamas and Tantra shastras explain Lord Ganesha to be the Lord of Muladhara chakra – the seat of Kundalini.
Ganesha has an elephant face with one tusk broken, a huge belly, four hands with pasha, ankusha (a noose and a goad), a bowl of modaka – sweet dish and an abhaya hasta – blessing hand. He has a mouse as his vehicle.
Ganesha is a powerful form of the Cosmos.The pasha on His left upper hand is the rope that does not allow thoughts to become engram. The ankusha or the goad on His right upper hand is a small instrument to control a huge elephant. It represents “Unclutching”.Read More….With this ankusha even the thoughts are removed. His upper two arms represent His pure inner space. When Vyasa wanted Ganesha’s to pen down the great epic Mahabharata that was overflowing through Vyasa, Ganesha did not find anything to use for writing. Immediately He broke one of His tusks and used it for penning down. The broken tusk represents spontaneous decision-making capacity, courage to sacrifice for the cause. The modaka – sweet balls on His left lower hand represent that life will be sweet if the above mentioned qualities are there. His elephant face represents extraordinary awareness and sensitivity (elephant has an extraordinary power of sight and smell). His pot belly represents the whole Cosmos. Indeed He is Cosmic intelligence. The mouse represents playfulness. The cobra on His waist represents He is the source of the Kundalini energy.

रदं च वरदं हस्तैर्बिभ्राणं मूषकध्वजम् ॥
रक्तं लंबोदरं शूर्पकर्णकं रक्तवाससम् ॥
रक्तगंधानुलिप्तांगं रक्तपुष्पैः सुपूजितम् ॥
भक्तानुकंपिनं देवं जगत्कारणमच्युतम् ॥
आविर्भूतं च सृष्ट्यादौ प्रकृतेः पुरुषात्परम् ॥
एवं ध्यायति यो नित्यं स योगी योगिनां वरः ॥ ९॥
