Narada says: |
iti sri narada purane samkastanasana ganesa stotram sampurnam
"While
watching the Rasa Dance performed by Lord KRSNA and the Gopies, Lord Siva
beheld the beautiful face of KRSNA and immediately began to dance and
beat upon his small dindima drum. While Lord Siva was dancing in ecstasy,
his eldest son, Ganesh, joined him." {Srila Prabhupada, Nectar of
Devotion Ch. 27 page 219}
"One should begin the worship of the Demigod Ganapati,
who drives away all impediments in the excecution of devotional service.
In the Brahma-samhita it is stated that Ganapati worships the lotus
feet of Lord Nrsimhadeva and in that way has become auspicious for the
devotees in clearing out all impediments. PURPORT {By His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisidhanta Sarasvati Thakur Maharaja} "The power of destroying all obstacles to mundane prosperity has been delegated to Ganesa who is the object of worship to those who are eligible to enjoy worship him. He has obtained a rank among the five Gods as Brahma possessing mundane quality. The self same Ganesa is a God in possession of delegated power by infusion of the Divine power. All His glory rests entirely on the grace of Govinda." {Sri Ganesha likes Maha-prasadam. One can get some Deity Maha sweets at the local Temple and/ or offer incense and flowers and Maha-water and sweet balls at home to a nice picture or Deity of Sri Ganesh.} |
