Why Lord Ganesha leads to success

An Aussie Ganesha by Stephen Bird  Wollongong Art Gallery

Be like Ganesha: to succeed in Business

When a new business or venture is started Shri Ganesha is worshipped and his image or statue is prominently displayed. While in the West he is referred to as The Elephant God, there is a lot to learn from him. A lot of Indians who worship have little idea of this. I am grateful of PP Shree Dwarkeshlalji Ahmedabad ( Kadi) for including these few points in a recent lecture. The contents of the offerings are my own ideas.

His Long Trunk- to sniff out all deals

His Big Stomach- to keep secrets

His Small Eyes- for attention to detail

His mouse- who finds information from the tiniest cracks

His Cheerful Welcoming face- customers come first

His Big Ears- to hear about anything and everything. To keep informed

His many hands- to remind us to be efficient in every action. To use our 4 hands. Two material/two spiritual
