Three Legends Behind Ganesh's Broken Tusk

Three Legends Behind Ganeh's Broken Tusk
Widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the ‘Deva’ of intellect and wisdom, Lord Ganesha also known as Ganpati and Vinayaka is one of the best-known and most worshiped deities in the Hindu religion. As the God of beginnings, he is honored at the start of rituals and ceremonies. He is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and the brother of Lord Kartikeya. There are many interesting stories of Ganesha. In some of His iconographic idols, Lord Ganesha is seen with one broken tusk. There are three stories behind this. Ganesha is prominently known as the remover of obstacles. Because of this, many Hindus worship him before any major endeavor they undertake - be it business, marriage, childbirth, etc. More importantly, however, he also removes obstacles on the soul’s spiritual journey and, is therefore, prayed to by aspiring transcendentalists all over the world. In addition, Ganesha is also known as the guardian of esoteric knowledge. It is no surprise, therefore, that he is considered the presiding deity of astrology. Practitioners of the Vedic science pray to him, believing he has an intimate understanding of how the planets affect the karma and destiny of each soul. Ganesha’s mercy is regularly invoked by those who chant the mantra, om gam ganapataye namaha, which means: “I offer my obeisances to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.”
