Every year the response from participants grows larger and larger. People benefit greatly from this celebration.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>What Does Ganesha Represent? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>He is an archetype who lives in the infrared realm. He is responsible for removing obstacles, like a bodhisattva in the Buddhist tradition. Ganesha is very compassionate toward human beings. He can see how they grope around in the dark struggling to overcome problems.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>A God with Special Intelligence<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Well ahead of time, Ganesha provides the opportunity for everyone to understand the question \u201c<em>What is an obstacle?\u201d<\/em> His special intelligence can be employed to remove obstacles that we cannot \u00a0\u00a0see. As human beings we are only able to confront problems after they occur. We have no idea how to stop them before they appear. This requires a special intelligence and Ganesha has that intelligence.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Remove Negative Karma<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ganesha also has the ability to remove karma, especially on his birthday. He offers this as a special gift. There is technology behind this celebration in the form of a ritual. A statue of Ganesha is moulded with clay. This clay is infused with negative karma. The completed image is then immersed in a river or ocean. As the clay dissolves, it removes all the deposited karma. This is a ritual which is carried out on the principle of sympathetic magic. From my own personal experience and from the experience of others, it works very well.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Communicate with Ganesha<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Coconut smashing also helps with karma removal. So I will personally record a webcast on this day where I will teach you several things. I will show you how to work with Ganesha to remove obstacles and karma. I will also demonstrate how Ganesha can be useful in daily communication.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to seeing you on Ganesha\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n<p>God Bless,<\/p>\n<p><em>Dr. Pillai<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Pillai explains the benefits of celebrating archetype Ganesha\u2019s birthday for removing obstacles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8836,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,6],"tags":[244,406,421,565,571,856],"class_list":["post-10758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archetypes","category-dr-pillai","tag-coconut-smashing","tag-ganesha","tag-ganeshas-birthday","tag-karma","tag-karma-removal","tag-pillai-center"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.8 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\r\n<title>Develop Ganesha Consciousness to Remove Obstacles - Pillai Center Blog<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dr.Pillai talked about the merits of developing Ganesha Consciousness.
