Question

Explaining the meaning of the name Vighneshwara, in His 1989 Divine Ganesha Chathurthi Discourse, Swami elaborates: “Man is confronted with many Vighnas (obstacles) in the journey of life. Prayers are offered to Ganapathi - who is better known as Vighneswara - for removing such obstacles and minimizing impediments. Ganapathi is an important deity for people of all sects. He is the deity to whom worship is offered first in any ritual.”
According to Swami, by what means can Vighneshwara remove any obstacles and impediments in our way?
A. According Him His place of honour.
B. Offering Him His favourite food.
C. Invoking His presence by penance.
D. Praying to His Mother Parvathi.

Answer 1

Correct Answer : A. According Him His place of honour.

Swami explains further: “ There is special significance in placing Vigneshwara in the forefront before embarking on any undertaking. In a forest, when an elephant moves through the jungle, it clears the way for others to follow. Likewise, by invoking Ganesha, the path is cleared for our undertakings. The elephant's foot is so large that when it moves it can stamp out the footprints of any other animal. Here, again, the symbolic meaning is that all obstacles in the way will be removed when Ganesha is accorded the place of honour. The journey of life is made smoother and happier by the grace of Ganesha.
