Begin your celebrations on an auspicious note with bhajans like Ekadantay Vakratundaya Gauri Tanaya.
📒 Popular Singer-Composer Shankar Mahadevan regales the audience at the Art of Living Youth concert in Mumbai with this serenading Lord Ganesha bhajan. Lord Ganesha is also called the Ekdantaya for his elephant-head with one tusk. Elephant represents both gyanshakti (power of knowledge) and karma Shakti (power of action). The principle qualities of the elephant are wisdom and effortlessness. The enormous head of the elephant signifies wisdom and knowledge.
Elephants don't walk around obstacles, neither are they stopped by them. They just remove them and walk ahead – signifying effortlessness. So, when we worship Lord Ganesha these qualities within us are kindled and we take on these qualities.
