Speech On Lord Ganesh

Respected guests, principal, teachers and my dear friends. Today I am going to express few words on Lord ganesha please enjoy it.

Ganesha the Hindu God is worshiped to mark the beginning of all auspicious occasions. We pray worship him for removing all sorts of problems and difficulties.

Ganesha, is also called Ganapati, it is the god of wisdom, judgemental and salvation. Ga means “knowledge”, na means “salvation”, and isha and pati mean “lord”.

Its many qualities know Lord Ganesha.

Ganesha’s Big Head is symbol of big thoughts and big achievements. In our profession, if we cannot think big, we will never achieve big success. So the big head of Lord Ganesha depicts – think big and achieve big.

His small eyes symbolize importance of focus. By focusing, we gain deep expertise in our activity and expertise will help us becoming more effective. Any kind of distraction from the target can result in failure.

The big ears and small mouth indicate importance of listening skills. It symbolizes that while you hear to all, grasp well, make note of every detail. Good listening skills will help you to become a more productive worker. The small mouth tells us to speak less. We should give our ears to all, obtain what is needed and throw away the futile. Big ears and small eyes suggest ‘let your ears be ground’ but speak only when required.

The Lord’s Long Trunk depicts that one should be able to smell future. What will the future smell like? This may sound silly. But, if we think, and are able to glean some insights into the future, smelling future is possible.

The Big stomach indicates digesting all good and bad events in life. Our life is a pile of good things and bad things. The big stomach of Ganesha teaches us to absorb all that is good, bad or ugly. Hostility, disappointments, hardships and resentment – we have to digest them to move on to better pasture of life.

Lord’s each of Four Hands suggest importance of giving and taking in life. Blessing is a very important part of our faith. The right hand at the back holds an axe; it symbolizes retrenchment. One should know when to cut, economize, reduce and retreat. The noose in the left hand at the back denotes importance of capturing good things. It indicates that one has to capture things that are helpful to our advantage. It also indicates that ‘opportunities knock at your door once, if you grab them they are yours.’

His Small Feet support his large body, leaves him with no choice but to be firmly grounded to avoid tumbling or falling. In our fast-paced lives, we need to be mentally and emotionally stable; worthily sensible, realistic and humble.

The Two Tusks of the Lord teach us that that little bit of sacrifices is worth it in life. The elephant headed God broke one of his tusks to write Mahabharata and used it as a pen. To do good work, at times we need little sacrifices. The other message is that one must conquer emotions with wisdom to attain perfection.

Mouse as his vehicle – Lord Ganesha with a huge body has a small mouse for his vehicle. It shows that Lord Ganesha has no ego. Ganesha’s modesty does not permit him to consider the mouse as insignificant, but he has reviewed the advantages that the mouse can offer him.

Ganesha teaches us to respect small objects, and small people in our lives. He teaches us to leave aside the burden of our big egos and to ride on the right path in life. We need to become small, shed our ego weight, and be attentive to the advantages that others have overlooked.
