🔱 Meaning & Significance
O Lord Ganesha with the curved trunk and massive body, whose brilliance equals a billion suns - please make all my endeavors free of obstacles, always. We meditate upon the one who wears white garments, who is all-pervading, bright as the moon, who has four arms and a pleasant face - for the removal of all obstacles. We worship the one-tusked Lord who is like a lotus to the face of his mother (Parvati), and who is day and night devoted to his devotees.
