Ganesha

Ganesha is perhaps the most popular of all Indian gods. He is considered the son of Parvati and Shiva. According to legend, Shiva withdrew to meditate and Parvati, lonely, created a son. When Shiva returned, he cut off the boy's head in anger. Realising what he had done, he ordered that the head of the first person to pass by be placed on Ganesha's body to bring him back to life. This was an elephant – a new god was born, combining the powers of Shiva and Parvati.

It is said that he removes all obstacles. He is therefore often invoked before any kind of undertaking. He ensures material and spiritual prosperity and is thus considered the patron saint of business people. But also at every new beginning, be it a move or a new job, Ganesha must not be forgotten, as he blesses the new situation and promises good fortune. Ganesha has four arms. They represent the four aspects of the subtle body: mind, ego, spirit and consciousness.
