| Ganesha embodies the pure sweetness of compassion; his selfless, playful, giving nature causes him to be a living embodiment of ‘varada mudra,’ (boon-bestowing gesture) and ‘abhaya mudra’ (fear-dispelling gesture), two blessings that he often offers in sculptural representations. He holds great significance to practitioners of yoga as the beneficent, playful Lord who removes obstacles along the path of practice until the yogin is liberated. Consequently, his image is often a central murti (a sanctified sculpture or painting adorning one’s meditation altar) for those on the yogic path. His presence bestows a playful intimacy, one that teaches us to not take life too seriously; the Divine, expressed as our highest nature, is fully engaged in the rhythms of life.
