Ganesh as the god of Music and great categorizer of all that can be counted or comprehended. If the gods created us in their image, then creation must be a holy act itself. It is good to hold this remover of obstacles in mind when beginning to create that loveliest art form, music. Much good flows from this benevolent Deity once he knows what we have in mind.

With the possible exceptions of Jesus and Buddha, no other Divinity is more widely worshipped than gentle Ganesh. Not only is he the bringer of happiness and prosperity, but great-bodied Ganesh is also the God of Scholarship. Here he indulges in the pleasure of a book, and offers his blessing to all who delight in written knowledge.

GANESH WRITING - Artists' Inspiration. As remover of obstacles, Ganesh is bound to cure writer's block. Active, creative, focused, Ganesh is so dedicated that he once snapped off the end of one tusk to write with after his pen broke. What better inspiration for a writer's altar!
