Ganesh and the Holy Elephant: Miracles of Advent
🌿🐘 "Ganesh and the Holy Elephant: The Miracle of Advent"
(A legend that doesn't end with the word "cut off the head and keep the head of the elephant")
-
In the deep forests of the Himalayas...
Amid the sacred lotus pool, this image recounts one of the most miraculous moments in the universe - when Shiva and Our Lady Parvati perform a "resurrection" ceremony for their deceased children... and the "holy elephant" appears before them.
🕉️ according to ancient scriptures such as Shiva Purana and Skanda Purana.
There is a record of "Lord Shiva" accidentally destroying the life of a boy whom the Virgin Parvati molded from turmeric powder to guard the door during his washing of water.
When Lord Shiva realized that that was the "child of the goddess," he ordered the nobles to bring the head of the first creature found in the north - and that was the "elephant."
🐘, but this image tells "another mysterious angle," which is rare in the symbolic motto -
That is, the sacred elephant calmly gives his head by carrying Ganesha with the marks of his abdomen.
🪷 The artistic details in this picture reflect the deep motto:
"The rebirth of Ganesha is not just a head extension, if it is a fusion between the forces of nature (animals) and the divine powers (devi)."
