Lords of Dharma

Sloka 21

Are there Gods Other than Siva?

God Siva has created many Gods and given them existence and powers. Yet He is within all of them completely. They are separate from Siva, yet inseparable, too, because everything is Siva.

Who Is Lord Ganesha?

Lord Ganesha has an elephant's face. He is the God of Art and Science. He controls obstacles in our life and guards the path of goodness. Lord Ganesha helps us to understand karma, to do good deeds and follow the right path.

What Is Lord Ganesha's Special Duty?


Lord Ganesha holds the noose in one hand and the goad in another. The noose is the symbol of His power to prevent things from happening in our life. The goad symbolizes His power to permit things to happen in our life. We seek His blessings before any worship or task.
