Ganesha Gita (Song of Ganesha)

Significance

Re-adapts many core chapters of the Bhagavad Gita through the theological lens of the Ganapatya sect, worshipping Ganesha as the supreme ultimate reality.

Not to be confused with the Ganesha Purana's Gita, this discourse involves Lord Vishnu appearing in the form of a Swan (Hamsa) to answer questions posed by the sons of Lord Brahma regarding the mind's liberation from sensory objects.

Key concepts

• Ganesha (Gajanana) as the Supreme Parabrahman and Lord of Obstacles
• Yoga of Mind Control and Meditation on the Pranava (Om)
• Action without attachment and devotion as pathways to the obstacle-free state
• The cosmos as an expression of Ganesha's divine play
