Capturing the Splendor of Nature and Divine Light
Buddha, Goddesses and Lords
Whether you believe in Hindu Goddesses and Lords as real deities or not, these videos are a reflection of the belief that lies within. When a Divine intention is set, a connection is made that reflects the intention.
THE LIGHT OF LORD GANESHA - AS CAPTURED ON VIDEO THE EVENING OF MAY 13, 2020
In March of 2020, when I began working remotely from home because of Covid-19, I thought about how I could use this unprecedented time to expand my Light work. I decided to share my personal Oracle card readings on my website. It was my hope that by sharing the messages from Spirit, that they would provide inspiration, insight and partnership.
I use a variety of Oracle Card decks to communicate with Spirit. My Oracle collection consists mainly of decks that feature plants/tree/flowers, animals, Angels, bright colors, symbols and numbers. For my readings, Spirit tells me what deck, or decks, to use in order to convey their messages.
This video was the direct result of a new Oracle deck I had purchased called, "Whispers of Lord Ganesha." I had asked Ganesha to come forward to provide a universal message for May 13, 2020, and the Oracle card he drew was "Healing."
Ganesha is considered the Hindu God of “Beginnings” and “Remover of Obstacles.” He is represented as the Elephant God, with an elephant head and large human body, as a blend of animal and human form. His large elephant head symbolizes wisdom, understanding, and a discriminating intellect. He possesses large ears to keenly listen to the prayers and needs of all people. And, he has only a single tusk which signifies one-pointedness.
The four arms of Lord Ganesha represent the four inner attributes of the subtle body: mind, intellect, ego, and conditioned conscience. Lord Ganesha represents the pure consciousness - the Atman - which enables these four attributes to function in us.
So, with the "Healing" card that Ganesha drew, he shared that with Covid-19 we have stepped through a gateway where the old world will never look the same and new opportunities and choices are being presented that can heal areas of our lives.
Many of us have been thrust out of our regular routines and we are working to establish new ones. These intense changes in our lives have sent us on a personal healing journey to find our balance or center. Many of us may not even realize we are on such a journey, for we think we are just trying to manage the day-to-day stresses. But consider that healing can include restoring balance to health, restoring balance to relationships, restoring balance to finances, healing emotionally and/or healing spiritually.
True healing is only possible when we take responsibility for our own well-being. Ganesha prompts us to believe that we are truly capable of handling any matters of health or relationships or finances without blame, and with integrity and grace. And, like the elephant that passes through thick woods, and creates a new path for other animals to follow, Lord Ganesha helps clears the obstacles and paves the way for us to move towards healing in our lives.
Ganesha's message concluded with a tale about the mango he is holding in his hand while sitting on the back of an Indian Peacock (the artwork featured on the Oracle card). For, this is no ordinary mango but a special one given to Ganesh’s father, Lord Shiva, by Lord Brahma. The one who ate it would gain knowledge and wisdom. Now Lord Shiva was in a predicament. Which of his two sons should he give the mango to? After consulting with his wife, Parvati, he decided to hold a competition between the two boys and make the mango the prize.
Both boys were eager to win the mango. The terms were that whoever circled the world thrice would win. This put Ganesha in a quandary as he was a plump boy and his vehicle was a mouse. How was he going to win over his brother Kartikeya’s vehicle, which was a peacock?
Kartikeya didn’t waste any time on thought. He jumped on to his peacock and zoomed off. In the meantime, Ganesha called his parents and asked them to sit together. Then he folded his hands and walked around them thrice.
“Now give me the mango,” he said. Shiva and Parvati looked at him in surprise. “Give you the mango?” they asked. “But you haven’t fulfilled the terms of the competition.”
Ganesha’s eyes twinkled, as he replied, “As my parents, you are the world to me; so when I walked around you thrice, it was equal to going round the world.” Pleased with his wit, Shiva and Parvati handed over the mango.
This tale illustrates how we look at life through our own unique lens. We do not need to travel the world in order to be fruitful with our healing journey. Taking action in our own homes can create the new beginning and balance we seek.
Finally, this video also features The Light of Jesus, Mother Mary, and several Archangels.
