Today is birth day of Lord Ganesha. Mataji Nirmaladevi has given lot of information of this deity.
Lord Ganesha is the deity controlling the first chakra, Mooladhar chakra in every human being.
Following is the extract from one of her lectures on the occasion of ganesh pooja.
But when Parvati made Shri Ganesha, He was the son of Parvati alone. There was no Father. Parvati Herself wanted to have a child of Her own. There were angels who were dedicated either to Vishnu or to Shiva, like ganas were dedicated to Shiva alone.
So, She wanted to have Her
own Son who can permeate Her powers on this Earth. So to begin with when the
Shakti created this Universe and Sadashiva was watching Her creation, the first
thing She created on this Earth was innocence and the embodiment of that
innocence was Shri Ganesha. The whole Universe was covered with innocence,
which we call as Omkara. This innocence protected all the creation of the world
and penetrated into all that is matter. Matter is innocent. If you hit the
matter, it will hit you back because it is built like that. It doesn’t want to
harm you by any method except that if you try to hit it, it hits you back, in
its own nature,
When the Kundalini risesShri Ganesha is awakened in you, the Ganesha whom you never respected, slowly
comes up from His slumber, out of the hurt and the injuries inflicted on Him,
still He stands up, but still weak.
Shri Ganesha has four
hands and the hand that carries the destructive weapon of Parasha is the one
you have to be careful about. That is His job and if you neglect Him, that
force will act and act so vehemently that despite your realization you may not
be able to save yourself. Do not take your realization for granted. Unless and
until your Ganesha is settled, your realization has no meaning at all. Watch
yourself, have you got adulterous eyes? Have you got an adulterous mind?
After all Shri Ganesha is
My Son because He is pure. Now He is not the only son I have. I have so many
sons and daughters and I have made you in the same way as I created Shri
Ganesha, without the Father, on My own. To your Mother nothing but purity of
heart and purity of your body is going to please. Anything that is impure has
to be thrown away. My name itself means purity. You can do it. You are
empowered to do it. You have a Kundalini to do it. But the first thing
you have to do is to cleanse that and the rest you don’t have to worry, Shri
Ganesha will look after it. One chakra you keep clean, the rest is looked
after. All your incurable diseases right from all muscular troubles like
mellitus and all that, all your incurable diseases right from cancer onwards,
all your psychosomatic problems right from schizophrenia, everything come
because of the disturbance in Mooladhara. When the roots are not all right, how
can you cure the tree? If the roots are all right then any medicine can reachany center, any area, any place, any fruit. But if the roots are not all right,
how can you work it out?
Shri Ganesha within us is
magnetic. So a person who has Shri Ganesha awakened within himself becomes
magnetic and magnet attracts the steel – not dried leaves, does not – steel.
And steel is like the Guru Tattwa.
Is a man with the steel,
say. “Man of steel” – a person who has character, conviction and who cannot be
dominated by temptations, is a man of steel. So this magnet attracts the steel.
Steel has only one badness, bad thing about it that it is not pliable, it’s
rather dry but the magnet attracts, means it creates that special quality in
the steel that it moves towards the magnet. In the same way when this magnet is
awakened within you, you’ll be amazed. Instead of people running away from your
ashrams they’ll be running towards you. I find it impossible. I go to any
house, if they come to know I am there, God save Me – anywhere, any place. So
what is this magnet? Is pure love.
he deals with Mother Earth
everyday. He knows the living process. He knows about the innocence of the
Mother Earth. So an innocent person is the wisest among … A child who is
innocent is much wiser than ten ego-oriented people. So the second capacity of
Shri Ganesha is that you become a wise person. When you speak, people start
looking at you. You speak like Kabira, you speak like Nanaka. You speak like
something that makes people feel their spirit. This is what I call is a Sahaja
yogi.
The Mother Kundalini
cannot move, unless and until Shri Ganesha gives the permission. He is like the
Vice-Chancellor sitting on all the chakras. He has to certify, “All right.
Pass. Go,” on every chakra. And when the Kundalini rises, Shri Ganesha is
awakened, otherwise Kundalini cannot rise. But then when He sleeps down,
Kundalini sucks, is sucked by Him. Now we think we have lost our innocence.
That’s not easy to be lost. It is not destructible.
He guides you. Sahaja yoga
cannot work out without Shri Ganesha. He is the one who is Sahaja. He is the
one who creates all spontaneity of the world. He is the one who takes you to
the right path. He is the one who gives you everything easily. He is the one
who creates all the chamatkars, all the magic, all the miracles of the world.
He is the Ganapati. He is the one who is sitting on Ganas, in the sense that He
is like the king of all the Ganas. The one who has pleased Shri Ganesha has
pleased all the Gods and Goddesses because all the Gods and Goddesses are
pleasing Shri Ganesha, so what is the need?
He’ll give us wisdom.
He’ll give us sense to understand. He’ll give us power to overcome our
arrogance that is within us. He’s the one who is the giver of knowledge. He’s
the one who gives us light. Many people in India also worship Shri
Ganesha, and go on “Shri Ganesha, Shri Ganesha, Shri Ganesha”, and do all kinds
of funny things. That’s like cheating yourself unnecessarily. It’s so simple to
establish Shri Ganesha within you. But understand that it is vital that you
people who are Sahaja yogis should establish Shri Ganesha, which is a silent
power within you, doesn’t talk. It’s a silent power, which acts.,
