Varada-Vinayaka worshiped by Japanese



Vinayaka, who is also known as Kangiten, is worshiped as a powerful deity in Japan. The Hōkaiji temple in Kamakura in Japan is known for its powerful Ganesha idol in which he is characterized as embracing his female self. Such forms are also common in Indian and Tibetan idols in the Tantric tradition.

The deity at Hokaiji temple is honored as a protector (pati) of the ranks (gana) of devotees and as granter of wishes (Varada-Vianayaka), two forms in which he is also known across India. The idol is however considered so powerful that its shrine is always closed and visitors are not given access.

How do the Japanese chant Ganesha mantras?

Ganpati


The Japanese know Ganesha as Kangiten who is also worshiped in a dual form as Kangiten. The dual Ganesha has images of both Vinayaka as well as Vinayaki in an embrace. Couples who desire happiness in the married life and children worship Vinayaka in this form in Japan. The Japanese consider Ganesha as the granter of prosperity and is therefore very popular among businessmen.

While there are hundreds of of Ganesh temples in Japan, the most important the Hōzan-ji shrine on Mount Ikoma. 


May Lord Ganesha of Hōzan-ji shrine on Mount Ikoma in Japan bless us all with happiness, love and prosperity!
