LORD VINAYAKA, the god of hurdles

Vinayaka is the son of parvathi

The Cosmic power and the evil destroyer

He lost his head

In his supreme duty to his dear mother

And was put to death by Lord Shiva, his very father

The universe  saw the wrath of his mother

Lord  vinayaka became the first god in the hierarchical order

And became the head of gods

The creator of obstacles

If we workshop him with devotion

We will be saved from our commotion

His big belly is symbolic of the need for a great appetite

The long ears symbolize  the necessity to listen well

We should not always tell and yell

Mental powers are greater than physical features

The hand some and the beautiful are always not the great creatures

The elephant is symbolic of strength and gentleness

Man is symbolic of intellectual greatness

May Lord Ganesha give all of us calmness!

Thank you for the entertaining poem. Nothing as wonderful as to read a poem with some mystery and history. I enjoyed the complete poem. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.
