Four Resources of Lord Ganesha

Here, the four objects in the hands of Brahmanaspati, are said to be related to the four centres of the Mooladhar Chakra viz. Intake (Aahar), wandering (Vihar),  conduct (Aachar) and thought (Vichar). The significance and relation of the four objects to the four centres in Mooladhar Chakra is explained  below:


Modak – Modak symbolizes Lord Ganapati’s influence over the centre-Aahar (Intake). Modak represents the medium that keeps a check on    all our intakes and ensures only  good reach us. Intake here implies food as well as thoughts we absorb through mind. 

Dant (Tooth) – Dant represents Ganpati’s influence on the centre of Vihar(Wandering). A man’s mind wanders, intelligence travels, physical body and praan observes time and speed, as a result, we experience happiness and sorrow. Dant teaches to get rid of unwanted thoughts and reduces mind-wandering.

Pash (Noose) – Pash means noose. Pash is used for controlling our  conduct. Hence, ‘Pash’ represents Ganapati’s influence on the centre – of Conduct (Achar).

Parshu (Axe) – Parshu (Axe) is said to give right direction to one’s thoughts. It represents Ganapati’s influence over the centre –Thought (Vichar)It is the blessings from Aadimata Anasuya, another form of Mother Chandika that has  endowed Lord Ganapati with all the powers and controls. This very leela (pastime) makes this Mangalmurti Ganesh, who is the Ghanapraan of the universe   the Vighnaharta i.e. destroyer of all hurdles.
