Ganesha sharanam sharanam Ganesha

Does any other deity lend Himself to such devotee-specific imagination as, well, my Friend Ganesha? He happily takes whatever form one wishes to see Him in and has lent Himself benevolently to abundant variety in artistic 2-d / 3-d designs and forms. Image courtesy
It's Ganesh Chaturthi this Sunday 23 Aug, and here's an offering to help remember Him when you are online. :)

Try to list all the 16 words / names of everyone's favourite deity that you can make out in this picture (original artist unknown)

Ganapati Bappa Moriya!

  2. That is the cutest Ganesha I have seen in a while. I love the expression on the "real" mouse!
    His manifestations are many and I wish all readers the best for Ganesha Chaturti, may his benevolence be upon everyone.

  9. True, Pradeep.
    It's amazing that spirituality as you call it gets some space amidst all the screaming online about Bollywood and political non-heroes.
