Question

In His 1994 Divine Ganesha Chathurthi Discourse, explaining the true meaning of the name Ganapathi, Swami reveals: “The essential purpose of the Vinayaka Chathurthi festival is to teach a person to avoid the company of bad people and cultivate the company of the good. What does the term Ganapathi signify? ‘Ga’ means Buddhi (intelligence). 'Na' means Vijnaana (wisdom). 'Pathi' means master. So, Ganapathi is the master of all knowledge, intelligence and wisdom. There is also another significant meaning for the word, that He is the Leader of all the Ganas who are celestial. Ganas also symbolize ____________.”
A. Words
B. Actions
C. Universe
D. Senses

Answer 1

The correct answer is option (D)
Sense
Because Swami asks: “ Where are the Ganas? What is their form? When you investigate this, you find that the Jnaanedhriyas and Karmendhriyas (five organs of perception and the five organs of action) are the Ganas. The mind is the master over these ten organs. Buddhi (intellect) is the discriminating faculty above the mind. Thus, Ganas also symbolize the senses. The ten senses, the mind and the intellect together constitute the Ganas. Ganapathi is thus the Lord of the senses.”
