The significance of Ganesha Chaturthi: Removing obstacles through wisdom

On this auspicious day of Ganesh Chaturthi, Sadhvi ji looks at the deep symbolic aspects of this sacred day and the Divine attributes of Lord Ganesh.

Lord Ganesh is the epitome of wisdom and auspiciousness. He is the Divine remover of the obstacles in our lives. “What this brings home is that it is wisdom and knowledge that removes obstacles. This means it is ignorance and lack of wisdom that turn situations into problems!” On this auspicious day, let us not only pray to Lord Ganesh to remove all obstacles in our lives, but to grant us wisdom and knowledge to understand the miraculous power of our own thoughts to see obstacles as challenges and to overcome them with grace!
