Ganesha, the Hindu god of Success, Peace, & Wisdom

Posted by Angelinabeadalina on 8/28/2006

*9-6-06 Just added another Ganesha...This little journey started with a teenager's request for a peace sign and a yin yang sign. Searching for a yin yang sign to look at, I opened John Bowker's book GOD A Brief History. On the way to the Tao section, I saw beautiful Hindu and Buddhist paintings and sculptures. The color combinations were intoxicating, and the textures were so rich. The Hindu god with the elephant's head seemed particularly ornate. He's Ganesha, and he brings success, peace, and wisdom. Voila', another peace sign! Here are my versions of an abstract line drawing of Ganesha:

Ganesha Once again, my version of the abstract drawing of Ganesha, this time done in Nile green with melted in black stringer. 408 x 590 px (72 KB) 0 Comments	Ganesha Guards The until now unseen 3-D attempts at Ganesha. They hang in a place of honor over my workbench, bringing success (sometimes), peace (always at the torch), and wisdom (for the next flamin' session). 1024 x 768 px (139 KB) 0 Comments	Ganesha Rock Subtle colors, calming stone feel. Usually ornate Ganesha is just as powerful in this simple setting, use him as a meditation stone. 473 x 500 px (38 KB) 0 Comments
Soft Ganesha St Ganesha celebrated in soft pinks, grays, and a touch of coral under etched clear. Sort of a feminine version of a Ganesha worry stone. 363 x 500 px (33 KB) 0 Comments	Technicolor Con Hmm, remember the peace sign? It must have inspired the use of these colors. 374 x 500 px (33 KB) 0 Comments	Back of Ganesha Hindu symbol of "Om" floats on complicated but subtle rock colors. 415 x 500 px (30 KB) 0 Comments
Ganesha with Lo Three dimensional Ganesha complete with one broken tusk, a lotus flower, and a tiny mouse of desire. You must control desire, or it will control you. . .and Ganesha can help you accomplish this so you may succeed. 500 x 495 px (47 KB) 0 Comments	Ganesha, Side V Ganesha's trunk and tusks are three-dimens... as is his ample belly with its belly button! 361 x 500 px (26 KB) 0 Comments	Ganesha, Back V Well, Ganesha is supposed to be a human with an elephant's head, but I got a little overzealous and made him an elephant tail. 397 x 500 px (28 KB) 0 Comments
Straight Up Gan Just Ganesha, plain ol' light ivory glass that didn't take on many cracklies in color, basic black stringer design. . .straight up Ganesha, peaceful and serene. 500 x 495 px (48 KB) 0 Comments	Staight Up Gane Peace to you, and a tiny conch for good luck, too. 500 x 395 px (47 KB) 0 Comments	Festive Ganesha I think I'd forgotten to take his pic, but he is one of my personal favorites. He's smaller than the rest, but he's bright and cheery enough to make up for it! 419 x 500 px (37 KB) 0 Comments

Thanks for stopping by to visit with AngelinaBeadalina! I'm really just plain ol' Angie or Ang, but the catchy name does suit me in the sense that I'm a motormouth who loves to play with words almost as much as I love to play with glass! You can find me here at BeadArtists.org, in my Etsy shop, or in my daily blog. You can get links to those places at www.angelinabeadalina.com (click on it above). Please pardon the use of my "official" website as a traffic control signal at the moment-- at least, that's what it makes me think of when I look at it. . . lots of directions to other places where there are updates on a daily basis. Tech-stuff would not be one of those things that I love or that comes naturally to me ;) Well, enough rambling for now, come on in, look around. . . have fun exploring my glass experiments and ideas. Peace, Ang

Ganeshas
Art By Susmitha: Really nice to see your Ganesha beads :)
Ganesha plays a very important role in our culture. Apart from peace, success & wisdom, he also brings knowledge and protection.
Every Hindu ceremony is started with an invocation to Ganesha no matter which God the ceremony is for. And on the festival of Ganesha we place our books under his statue so that he blesses us with more knowledge.

Just thought I might share that with you.
