  • Among the most worshipped and iconic figures of Hinduism is Ganesha, or Ganesh. Instantly recognized by his elephant head and multiple arms, Ganesha was the son of Parvati and Shiva, regarded as the god of new beginnings and good luck. He is the remover of obstacles both physical and spiritual, a patron to both creative and inquisitive minds, and fiercely loyal and protective of those that he loves.

    Homer: Hey, Ganesha, want a peanut ?
    Apu: (Annoyed) Please do not offer my god a peanut.

      Ganesha: "Oh, just because I have the head of an elephant, you presume I love peanuts?"
      Homer:"Uhhh...do you?"
      Ganesha: "OF COURSE I DO!"

    "...Through the Looking Glass. That poem, 'The Walrus and the Carpenter,' is an indictment of organized religion. The Walrus, with his girth and good nature, he obviously represents either Buddha or with his tusks, the Hindu elephant god, Lord Ganesha. That takes care of your Eastern religions." -Loki (from "Dogma," 1999 film)
    That was the first time (that I can remember) ever hearing of Lord Ganesha, but it was not until watching this video that I actually learned anything about the deity. So, thanks for the new info. 😊

    I think the broken tusk also symbolizes the fact that there's no such thing as a perfect God by having it broken it shows that he's not perfect.

  • @JAGzilla-ur3lh
    @JAGzilla-ur3lh Před měsícem

    The story about the feast definitely sounds familiar. The rich get nowhere by flaunting their wealth, and a humble gift offered sincerely is what's actually called for. It's basically the same as the Biblical story about the poor woman's tiny offering being worth more to God than the piles of money thrown around by wealthy men. Naturally, the Hindu version is a little more colorful, but the idea is the same.

    • @MythologyUnleashed
      @MythologyUnleashed  Před měsícem +2

      Various colors have different meanings in Hindu culture, but blue often displays a more cool and tranquil nature, and possibly even reflect the deities' deep association with water and the sky and other deep concepts beyond human understanding!
