Sri Ganesh - Divine Form

This exquisite image captures Sri Ganesh, the beloved Hindu deity, in a majestic and ornate form. Revered across traditions, Sri Ganesh is recognized as the remover of obstacles (Vighnaharta) and the lord of auspicious beginnings. In the Ramakrishna tradition, his images in centres like Advaita Ashrama symbolize the invocation of divine blessings at the commencement of every activity in God's name, reflecting a spiritual approach to all endeavours. The deity is depicted adorned in rich golden drapery and elaborate jewellery, including a radiant crown, emphasizing his regal and divine nature. He holds traditional attributes in his hands, conveying blessings and protection. His presence is a reminder to approach life's journey with devotion, wisdom, and the conviction that divine grace clears all impediments on the spiritual path and in worldly pursuits.
