Ganesha-Dr.-Indus Ganesa < Gana-isa-Lord of Ghana
Ganapati — .-Ganapati ind.
In Hindu mythology, the "master of Ghana", minor deities who formed the retinue of Shiva. In Vedic literature Ganesha as an independent deity does not appear, and the title "Ganapati" belonged to Shiva, or Rudra[1].

In the epic and Puranas Ganesha — son of Shiva and Parvati, miraculously born from her clothes. He is depicted with a human body of red or yellow color, a large spherical belly, four hands and an elephant's head, from the mouth of which only one Tusk sticks out. The details of the appearance of the Ganesha are explained in several myths detailed in Brahmavaivarta Purana and Ganesha Purana.

One of these myths tells that on the feast of the birth of Ganesha forgot to invite (option: forced to look at baby) God Shani[2] who is out for revenge incinerated the baby's head. Shiva tried to put his head to the boy's body, but it did not grow, being "infected with a bad eye." Then Brahma advised Parvati to place the head of the first creature she would meet with him; this creature was an elephant.

According to another myth, Shiva himself in anger cut off his son's head when he did not let him into Parvati's chambers; then, however, to console his wife, he put the head of an elephant near to Ganesha's body.

One of his tusks Ganesha, according to legend, lost in a fight with Parashurama. Parashurama came to see Shiva, but Shiva was asleep, and Ganesha refused to let him go; then Parashurama threw his axe into Ganesha and cut off his right Tusk.



Another legend says that Ganesha himself broke off the tusks, fighting with a giant Gogamukh, and threw it at his opponent; the tusks had magical powers and turned Gogamukh in the rat, which has become a mount (vahanas) Ganesha.

Although Ganesha leads the retinue of Shiva, the main feature in Hindu mythology, is not associated with this role, and the fact that he is considered the God of wisdom and remover of obstacles[3]. Hindus call on Ganesha to help, taking any kind of important matter, in particular with the treatment of Ganesha, as a rule, begin Sanskrit works. Ganesha is among the most popular Indian gods; his images and temples are widespread in India, especially in the South.

Brahma commanded that his name be remembered before the names of other gods. The goddess of wisdom Saraswati gave Ganesha pen and ink, and he became the God of learning. In addition, Ganesha became the patron of merchants and travelers and received Brahman dignity. He always sits on the rat, which he is in eternal servitude gave the earth goddess Prthivi. To heavenly mansions reached only truly dedicated to Shiva, Ganesha began to invent obstacles for people Paracha their minds and forcing them to strive for wealth and temporal pleasures.

CREDO Polina Ogiy

"Art is the creator soul delight spilled on canvas, embodied in marble, paper, notes in the form, line, color, sound, word, movement and thousands of other creative expressions. This is awareness of Genesis, understanding of the soul creating the fabric of life .

 Works of art are true, pure symbols imprinted by the hand of the artist. They are characters of life, love, harmony and symmetry, sacred geometry of destiny. The world is ruled by symbols. And the true symbols express the divine harmony.If you're a creative person, the main energy that moves your hand is love, passion to cognition for the essence of things and phenomena. This is love and admiration, inspiration by the beauty of a landscape, character, object, myth or legend. The delight of my soul reflects the spiritual essence and symbolism of the Muse selected.Creativity is the destination of the soul incarnate in a person. We all are the co-creators of God, and everyone is an architect of his own life and world view. Convergence of matter and spirit, the ancient alchemy of human life are nothing else, but a splash of creative energy of spirit in matter.For me it is the music of my soul embodied in line and color, its trace through the time and space. Painting and sculpture are like my natural breath and my self expression. The motivation is simple - to live and create. An artist is the crystal, which stops the time in its purpose. An artist displays the Genesis, depicts the beauty and perfection of the moment. The artist perceives with his heart, not his eyes. An artist opens for the viewer the door to the wordlessness  and guides to the pure original source of Life."
