Lord Ganesha's big fat wedding

Some Hindu depictions Lord Ganesha is a bachelor. In others he has two wives - Riddhi and Siddhi and is also the father of two sons Shubh and Laabh. 

Folklore has it that no girl wanted to marry a husband with an elephant's head. This upset Lord Ganesha who manifested his vignakarta roop - the creator of obstacles. He asked rats to dig holes in the paths of the celestial Devas as they journeyed to get their brides from their maternal homes. 

Lord Brahma was so moved by Lord Ganesha's plight and also with the poor Devas that he created two wives for him.  Riddhi is the manifestation of wealth and prosperity and the second wife Siddhi is the personification intellectual and spiritual achievement.  Thus was the Lord married, and wherever Lord Ganesha is invoked - there dwell all prosperity and well being. 

Where there is Ganesha, Siddhi and Riddhi follow, and their two sons Shubha (Auspiciousness) and Labha (Profit) also follow unfailingly.

May the pot-bellied one who is loved by Riddhi as well as Siddhi bless all his devotees!

Have you seen the Hanuman-mukhi orchid?

Dracula simia - Hanuman-mukhi orchid

Dracula simia, called also monkey orchid is a family of orchid flowers that have markings that bear remarkable resemblance not jut to a monkey's face but to Lord Hanuman complete with the tilak at the centre of the forehead. The arrangement of column, petals and lip strongly resembles a monkey's face.The plant blooms at any season. Flowers are fragrant with the scent of a ripe orange - the fruit that has a color that is also known to be dear to Lord Hanuman.

This rather rare orchid is found in Eucador and Peru highlands of South American that is said to bear strong links with ancient India by some scholars.

Hinduism honors all creation as an expression of the Lord's divine shakti. May we all be blessed by the darling of Anjani who manifests himself in these beautiful orchids of South America!

Jai Hanuman! Jai Shri Ram!
