Sarva Shakti Ganapathi and His Five Shaktis

Lord Ganapathi is the most versatile god who takes various forms to suit the needs of those who worship him sincerely. He is the embodiment of five powerful and positive powers, or shaktis that make people's belief in Vedic practices a must in order to embrace and share love with their near and dear ones. It also helps to understand how the lord works with each of us every day in our mundane life.

According to the Lord Himself, there are five great 'shaktis' or powers that a person should possess, and should be felt through the body. These powers are nothing but being in the presence of god. And Lord Ganesh manifest in five aspects of man's day to day life.

The Lord who is loved by saints and sages, is the remover of obstacles. His skillful arms wield five potent shaktis.

His First Shakti is home life or for the immediate family which he protects, ensuring fertility and harmony. This is possible due to the first power of the lord.

The Second Shakti or power is the love we show to our extended families like relatives, or even friends and neighbors. It’s difficult to maintain these relationships in a harmonious manner because evil forces come in between to spoil relationships and therefore misunderstandings and disorders occur.

The Third Shakti manifests in the business relationships, in goods, finance, and distribution of wealth to the world. They are business associates, merchants, and the public at large. This power is very strong as it is difficult to maintain harmony in this kind of relationships as it can easily end up in disharmony. Also, this power frees from debts and helps to conceive, produce and exchange prosperity.

The Fourth Shakti is the combination of the first two shaktis and also stabilized by the fourth. It is seen through the love of culture and all that it bestows us. It also relates to the respect and appreciation of the discipline. This attraction towards art forms grants boons in the form of creativity in music, drama, dance, literature, and other arts. In this way, negative forces are locked together in a harmonious way for a glorious future. The Shakti also manifests as devotion towards one’s ancestors and all forms of positive community union.

The Fifth Shakti of Lord Ganapathi is the mix of the first and the third in vibration and also includes unconditional love for the lord. Loving Lord Ganesh with heart and soul leads to the combined merging of the five shaktis. This also makes a person charitable, builds temples and shrines, indulge in donations, and earn abundant good deeds or Punya not only for this life but also for the next. Thus, the lord offers material, emotional, spiritual and intellectual abundance to his devotees.

By harnessing these five Shaktis in man, Lord Ganapathi becomes Sarva Shakti Ganapathi who bestows five essential powers to his devotees.
