This is the first adored deity of Lord Ganesha worshipped by the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) since the age of 3. He chose Ganesha - the God so easily pleased amongst all Gods - to inspire humanity to choose the same and experience Oneness through it. Lord Ganesha is the Hindu God worshipped as the Lord of Completion and remover of all obstacles. At the tender age of three, SPH exemplified the subtle sacred teaching of "Practicing the Presence of God", through this deity, even in mundane daily activities such as bathing, eating, sleeping, thereby infusing the Superconscious energy of the deity into each and every moment of life, which is the Hindu or KAILASA lifestyle. It is through this deity that SPH teaches how to manifest any desired reality through deep bhakti (devotion) and tyaga (blissful sacrifice).
Once when offering naivedyam (food offering) to Ganesha, SPH decided not to eat, sleep or even move until His beloved deity partook His food offering. Responding to His intense tapas, Ganesha, the Lord who holds the divine joy in His hands as modhaka (mudhakaraatha modhakah), appeared in front of SPH and ate the food offered to him.
At that moment, Ganesha incarnated in the form of the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, as the fruition of His penance and thenceforth, that tapas itself started serving the whole world with the science of enlightenment (sadā vimukthi-sadhakah). For this very reason, any spiritual seeker can experience this same transcendental experience of Ganesha just by listening or reading about his divine Manifestation in the life of SPH. Today, millions are initiated into this same power of manifesting Ganesha and demonstrating this Science of manifestation of Gods, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism has revived.
