The Secret of the Ganesha Purana
In the text, Lord Brahma reveals to Vyasa the key to composing the Ganesha Purana. He divulges two secret mantras that reward one with not only spiritual enlightenment, but material success as well. In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna says, ‘All purposes served by a small well can at once be served by a great reservoir of water.’ Lord Ganesha contains the material and spiritual worlds in His belly. He is that great reservoir. When one is self-realized, there is no doubt of complete success, because one realizes that there is really no difference between the material and spiritual. It is only a matter of perception. This incongruity is rectified by either using an object for sense gratification or in the service of God. If one remembers the Lord in all of their undertakings, surely the finest outcome can be expected.
Realizing the Nature of the SoulAs presented in the Ganesha Purana, illustrious personalities like Vyasadev and Brahma had some difficulties in the performance of their own duties. Then what hope is there for us insignificant jiva’s? In order to gain clarification as to our own transcendental position, and duties associated therewith, we may begin to have a glimpse of the answer to this inquiry by observing the activities of these great souls. We have heard, read, or may have seen movies depicting God’s “chosen one’s” as having a direct experience of Godhead.
If we are to rid ourselves of the illusion of separation from God, then having full confidence in our eternal relationship with the Lord, and acting on that, is the key. Faith is the belief of something unseen, but we are not using ordinary anatomical vision to see the Lord. The eyes of spiritual understanding are known as sastra-chaksus, or seeing through the eyes of the Sastra.

All Life Is SacredIn the Ganesha Purana we come to understand the dilemma of King Somakanta, due to activities performed in a previous birth. In a previous lifetime he had to choose whether it was worthwhile to rob and kill an innocent Brahmin, considering the horrible karmic reaction accrued by performing such an atrocious act. What to speak of the reactions he had already incurred by murdering other innocent people, as well as animals. In the Sastras it is mentioned that the killing of women, children, the elderly, Brahmins, one’s guru, or the cows are strictly forbidden, or else horrible karma occurs.
How to Recognize GodWithin every life is a motivation to move. Inspiration if you will. If we all imagine what absolute bliss is, happiness and love, we are faced with what can only be God.
Today the challenge facing humanity is to let go of the historic ways in which we have been controlling our lives through giving ourselves all kinds of agendas to accomplish without having our heart connected to what we’ve been doing. It’s as though we’ve used our minds to keep the divine (which lives in our heart) hostage all these centuries as we’ve been creating what we now see in the world today. The planet is not so much a reflection of what we’ve really desired within our hearts, not in the truest sense, but rather it is a reflection of…
Experience God Instead of Discussing HimBecause the animal is so big, so the six blind men could only touch one part of it. And when asked about what does it look like they argue among themselves and kept on their own opinion. A blind man who touched its foot said the elephant was like a coconut tree. The other one who touched its tail said the elephant was like a snake.
Be A Master MindIf we learn to control our senses, then we can master our mind. We can become more successful by studying our own mind and improving our character.
Inhale a Breath And All Is Known, Exhale We Are AloneOne consensus we find amidst spiritual practice is the connection with the breath. Be it a symbolic representation of life bestowed upon us by a higher being or principal, a means of stilling the mind to come to a state of understanding of the world around us through ridding ourselves of opinion and expectation, or developing the ability to dissolve into an already existent current of energetic movement, we can agree that the breath and our existence are intimately connected in every dimension.
