THE REAL MEANING OF LORD GANESH/LORD SKANDA AND ITS IMPORTANCE
GANESHA:
The word GAN etymologically wise is known as the गण = गण संख्याने Dhatupath Churadigan गण Hence it signifies the combination of many things and people, therefore, it means compounding and synthesis. Now synthesis only takes place when application energy. Ganesha has been named the son of Shiv Ji (Rudra) meaning Agni. Synthesis can only take place by energy (Agnih). As a word Ganpati has got two aspects one is Gan as mentioned above and the word is Pati which etymologically means preserver (Protect – Rakshane). Therefore two meanings Ganpati is the protector of energy. Ganesha means ENERGY. Ganpati is the preserver of synthesis, therefore, Ganpati is the energy which preserves of synthesis.
Lord Ganesha has been called by many names for example:-
LAMBODAR = which eats/consumes hence it means energy which CONSUMES.
INDRA = which means High potential energy.
TRINETRA = Ganesha has been called TRINETRA (Three eyes) Now eye gives you manifestation and Tri means three. Hence Three Types Of Manifestation Fire on the Earth, i.e, ELECTRICITY (Lightening in the sky), ELECTRO MAGNETIC, ELECTRONUCLEAR i.e., Irridiating Energy being provided which lights up, like sun, Moon etc. in Dyow
Ganesh/Ganpati has also been called VIPRATAM and KAVI.
Energy which helps in acquiring knowledge (Vipra – Unaadikosh 2/29 vapti dharmmeeti vipra, medhavi vaa) and the Poetic aspects of the BRAIN (KAVI) and also protects the same (PATI = Unaadikosh 4/58 Pati Rakshteeti patih swami vaa = RAKSHANE = PROTECT)
Ganpati has also been called DHARANĮDHEER.
DHARANĮDHEER = DHARANĮ is PRITHIVI (DARK PLANETS) Dharani – Dharti Sarvmeeti dharni prithvi vaa DHEER = DHA = DHAARNE (SUSTAIN).So, it means Energy which sustains EARTH/BLACK PLANETS.
Brhaspati Brih – (Bri + Pati) – Brih – Dhatupath Bhwadigan Vridhu – To grow
PATI = Unaadikosh 4/58 Pati Rakshteeti patih swami vaa = RAKSHANE = PROTECT
Indra Medhavi – Ganesha is also known as Indra Medhavi. Indra is High Potential Energy.
Medhavi – Violent
Pictorily Lord Ganesha have been shown as an Elephant Face this is another very interesting aspect as the word Gaj means very high sound like of an elephant that is the reason of his being picturized as an Elephant face but the actual is very different. The etymology of the word Gaj is also Triptiyoge which means fully charged. So, it means energy which is fully charged (battery). It would be worth mentioning that in the Mahabharata that the soldiers wore armour made of Elephants Hyde (GAJENDRACHARMVAASANAA). Very high sound waves of energy which even splits stones. Like it is being done in surgery today removing stone by sound. The word GAJ which is MARJ SHABDARTHA
Actual Meaning is they wore Armament or clothes which were FULLY CHARGED with ENERGY and were protective.
Unlike others Ganesh is supposed to have two mothers (DWIMAATAA) DURGA AND CHAMUNDA. Now the word is DURGA DU = Motion/Dhatupath Bhwadigan. CHAMUNDA – CHAMU = Avdaarne = Disintegration/ Consume/Synthesis Bhakshane. DA of CHAMUNDA is to give.
So, it means: – motion starts in the Particles of matter, resulting in disintegrating/splitting it and then consumption/synthesis takes place and energy is released or formed or emitted.
SKANDA
In mythology, KUMAR KARTIKEYA is son of MAHAADEVA/SHIVA and KUMAR is AGNI (ENERGY). The KARTIKEYA STAR DEVATAA IS AGNI.
RIGVEDA 1/31/2 States
DYWAHAVAAPRITHVI ARANI VAA MAATRASTHANEEYA YASYA SA DWIMAATA
द्यावापृथिवी अरणी वा मातृस्थानीये यस्य स द्विमाता
SKAND = DYAVAA PRITHVI YAJNA KARM. It means the YAJNA (Fusion/joining) KARM (Motion action). ARNI – RI – MOTION – ROTATORY MOTION, ARNI – Unaadikosh 2/104 – Richhati Praapnoti yen sa Arni
The creator makes joining/fusions of two (mata-creator) rotating motion resulting in creation (mata) of PRITHVEE (DARK PLANETS) and irradiating sources (DYAAVAA) SKAND = SKANDIR = MOTION (GATI)
KUMAR = AGNI KAARTIKAYE
Sometimes SKANDA’S FACE has been shown as of a goat. Agnayo vaa AJAH
SKAND IS AGNI and AJAH is GOAT. But AJAH means Motion also Ajah Gatishepnayo DHatupath Bhwadigan. It means SKAND = AGNI (Energy) is motion
OTHER ASPECTS OF SKANDA = KUMAR ;सुश्रुते, उत्तरतन्त्रे =s 27/2-3)
Kumaarasya Shunkasya Maata – Sarma Shuni, Pita – Seesarah, Bhraatarah – Shyam – Shablow. Now Shun root as per Dhatupath Tudaadigan is motion but in Normal Sanskrit, it is a Dog and Hence Sarma Shuni is a Bitch. So, the mother of SKANDA is a Bitch
Real Meaning:-
SHUN = Motion – Shuni/Sarma creator of motion Sarmaa root is Sarteeti Vaayurvaa (Vaa = Gatow very fast flowing impulses) so, energy which creates the motion of very fast flowing impulses like electrical, electromagnetic, electronuclear.
PITA = SEESARAH if SEE is a PREFIX, then as SAR Root is GACH means motion. PITAA = Paa (Rakshane = protector) So, it is energy that protects Motion.
BHRAATARAH – SHYAM SHABLAM BHRAATAA = BRAHJATE Unaadikosh 2/95= DEEPYATEASOW BHRAATA SAUDARYO VAA= LIGHT AND ILLUMINATION.
BRAHATAA = SHYAM = BROTHER is Shabli.
Shabli = Shabal = Varnbhedo vaa. So this means energy which differentiates (Bhedo) and chooses (VARNA = VRI = VARNE = To choose) between light (deep tow) and darkness (Shyam)
It is also said SKANDASYA (KURAASYA) MAATA – PUTAAN Dhatupath POOT is to clean etc meaning energy created which cleanses/purifies the cosmos etc.
