The article then delves into the symbolism and iconography of Ganesha, as well as his association with various elements such as the elephant, the mouse, and the snake. It also explains the different forms of Ganesha, including the 32 forms mentioned in the Mudgala Purana.
Overall, the article provides an in-depth exploration of the concept of Ganesha Devi in the Mooladhara chakra, as explained by the Siddhas.
Objects do not by themselves cause neither pleasure nor pain. It is our attachment to them because of the values or importance we assign them that causes either pleasure or pain. One can observe what has caused us pleasure at one point of time will cause us pain or we become indifferent to it. Yet…
Siva is considered to be the Adhi Yogi, First Yogi. He gave the world Vaasi Yoga. Vaasi Yoga is different from The Asthtanga Yoga of Patanjali in that while Vaasi Yoga directly reaches out to Consciousness, Asthtanga Yoga reaches out to Consciousness through the Modifications of Chitta. That is the cessation of thought processes.
Meditation is a process to still the Mind, by divesting thoughts and their impressions on the Mind. The process is to still the Mind, by not allowing it to go after sense objects. Mind is always a churning pot of Thoughts, reflections and residues of emotions. Mind is always in a State of flux.
Brain Mind and Intellect and Chitta ( as desired by Yoga) are not one and the same.
Brain is the physical organ that receives stimuli and reacts under directions.By Whom?
Mind, as directed by Intellect.
Mind classifies information into various headings, also assigns as to what causes/ caused us pleasure and pain in the past and regulates our emotions and they in turn affect our Mind, thought processes and thus a vicious cycle is formed.While Brain collects information ,Mind classifies information just as CPU.
Mind through its instrument,Intellect ,Buddhi classifies information as Right or Wrong ( Value judgement) ,as Correct or incorrect ( Factual).
We can put it this way. Brain is the physical organ that receives the Stimuli,while Mind is the Activity of the Brain that collates classifies. Thoughts form in the Mind and it’s counter part also is formed in the mind. These leaves their residues after an act or thought is completed.
The Intellect is directed by Chitta a higher plane over Mind. This Chitta ,at the ultimate Level in Gnana,Pure Knowledge. Reality is Sat,Chit and Amanda.Sat,Being; Chit,Pure Knowledge and Ananda Bliss.
Chitta is influenced by one’s past and immediate Karma,actions and their reactions. The remnants of these influence Chitta and Chitta, thus influenced, directs Intellect,then throught it the Mind.
Thus Chitta influences the Mind. And cessation of modifications of Chitta is Yoga. ‘ Yogaha Chittavrutthi Nirododadha’ Patanjali Yoga Sutra 1.
How the whole thing affects human Body and Brain and how it is mapped by science?
The Study on Influence of Meditation on Brain.
In a 2012 study, researchers compared brain images from 50 adults who meditate and 50 adults who don’t meditate. Results suggested that people who practiced meditation for many years have more folds in the outer layer of the brain. This process (called gyrification) may increase the brain’s ability to process information.
A 2013 review of three studies suggests that meditation may slow, stall, or even reverse changes that take place in the brain due to normal aging.
Results from a 2012 NCCIH-funded study suggest that meditation can affect activity in the amygdala (a part of the brain involved in processing emotions), and that different types of meditation can affect the amygdala differently even when the person is not meditating.
Research about meditation’s ability to reduce pain has produced mixed results. However, in some studies scientists suggest that meditation activates certain areas of the brain in response to pain.
Who should be careful in practising Meditation.
Meditation is generally considered to be safe for healthy people.
People with physical limitations may not be able to participate in certain meditative practices involving movement. People with physical health conditions should speak with their health care providers before starting a meditative practice, and make their meditation instructor aware of their condition.
There have been rare reports that meditation could cause or worsen symptoms in people with certain psychiatric problems like anxiety and depression. People with existing mental health conditions should speak with their health care providers before starting a meditative practice, and make their meditation instructor aware of their condition.

Meditation is a tool of Yoga.
Yoga is defined as the cessation of the modification of Chitta, that is the cessation of the thought waves at the level of Chitta.
Activity of thr Brain is the mind, which is akin to CPU that receives inputs with no say in choosing stimulii/action..
Intellect is the instrument which decides what is correct/incorrect,Right/Wrong.
Higher than this is Chitta which guides the Intellect as to what to do in tune with the natural disposition of the individual.
As thoughts are innumerable, control over thoughts becomes difficult.
To control thoughts medi is used.
In this process , the brain is slowly guided into moving to Delta wave zone.( we normally operate on Alpha-waking,Beta,sleeping,Theeta,deep sleep).
At this level, the mind is divested of all multifarious thoughts and remains fixed on a single thought.
This changes the structure of the Brain.
Story:
Participating in an 8-week mindfulness meditation program appears to make measurable changes in brain regions associated with memory, sense of self, empathy and stress. In a study that will appear in the January 30 issue of Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, a team led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers report the results of their study, the first to document meditation-produced changes over time in the brain’s grey matter.Meditation group participants reported spending an average of 27 minutes each day practicing mindfulness exercises, and their responses to a mindfulness questionnaire indicated significant improvements compared with pre-participation responses. The analysis of MR images, which focused on areas where meditation-associated differences were seen in earlier studies, found increased grey-matter density in the hippocampus, known to be important for learning and memory, and in structures associated with self-awareness, compassion and introspection. Participant-reported reductions in stress also were correlated with decreased grey-matter density in the amygdala, which is known to play an important role in anxiety and stress. Although no change was seen in a self-awareness-associated structure called the insula, which had been identified in earlier studies, the authors suggest that longer-term meditation practice might be needed to produce changes in that area. None of these changes were seen in the control group, indicating that they had not resulted merely from the passage of time. https://ramanisblog.in/2011/01/22/meditation-changes-brains-structurefor-the-better/
Mind, as explained is the cause of all our reactions, emotions. We get attached to things which we perceive . Objects do not by themselves cause neither pleasure nor pain. It is our attachment to them because of the values or importance we assign them that causes either pleasure or pain. One can observe what has caused us pleasure at one point of time will cause us pain or we become indifferent to it. Yet the object remains the same. For instance when I was young I use to take pleasure in riding a bicycle,now I find it to be painful to ride. Similarly the things I use to yearn for have lost their charms for me. But these objects remain the same. My reactions to them have changed.
What is the reason? I have changed,my values, priorities have changed. Physically I have changed, my circumstances have changed. So the change is not from out side but from within.
How is this change Perceived by me? I perceive the change through my Mind. I have lost interest through the instrument Mind. So Mind is the cause for the change in attitudes Attachments.
When one focusses on an object , the Mind is focussed on the object to the exclusion of every thing else . Thus mind does not get attached to pleasure or pain. That the object of Concentration can be Light. So,when one concentrates on the Light to the exclusion of every thing else, he becomes impervious to pleasure or pain and goes beyond them.
It is very difficult to lay one’s hands on Siddhas’ Texts, though theoretically, they are available in the web. But to get the correct text is difficult as there are fake poems floating around masquerading as Original. Unless one is familiar with ancient Tamil and the unique style of Siddhas’ Expressions, one may be misled.
Though the Ashtanga Yoga of Patanjali is widely popular and is practiced Today, the basis on which it is built is the Vaasi Yoga. The first Exponent of Vaasi Yoga is Siva Himself. In Vaasi Yoga, consciousness is directly addressed to,with emphasis on Breath Regulations.And this step is preceded by Do’s and Don’ts as in Ashtanga Yoga Niyama and Yama.Here in Vaasi, Asanas, one can follow what is comfortable for him) her. This point is referred to in Srimad Bhagvad Gita when Krishna talks about Sukhasana,that Posture which is pleasant. Patanjali also makes a point of this For Breath control, time taken to inhale and exhale is provided in terms of Matras. Thirumoolar Pranayama Ratio Explanation
The process of Vaasi is difficult for people,except for those who are gifted. To solve this,Siva had advised Patanjali to simplify Vaasi and introduce a yoga practice that would elevate one to Vaasi consciousness from where Vassi Yoga will take over. Accordingly Patanjali composed Yoga Sutra ,laying emphasis on postures ,followed by Pranayama.
In Vaasi as I said earlier, Prana is given priority and each Chakra is assigned a Deity. Normally one would not find texts of Yoga discipline associated with Vishnu and Lakshmi, though there is Lakshi Tantra and references to Narayana in the Sanskrit tradition.In Tamil tradition, Mahalakshmi and Vishnu are Deities for specific chakras.
In this article, I shall present details about Mooladhara chakra as explained by Thirumoolar and Bhogar. Agasthya has written extensively on similar lines.
Mooladhara chakra lies in between genital organ and rectum. It lies approximately twice the thickness of Ring finger upper to rectum and twice the thickness of Ring finger lower from genital organ .See image below.
Mooladhara location.Mooladhara Chakra
The Mooladhara chakra lies twelve inches below the Navel;People do not know this and the Mantra to establish,( here it means to raise Kundalini) and once you know how to establish this,you shall find Siva present there.( Here Esa refers to Siva).I have provided the text of Thirumoolar’s Thirumandihram below .
நாபிக்குக் கீழே பன்னிரண்டு அங்குலம்
தாபிக்கும் மந்திரம் தன்னை அறிகிலர்
தாபிக்கும் மந்திரம் தன்னை அறிந்தபின்
கூவிக் கொண்டு ஈசன் குடியிருந்தானே -Thirumoolar
Now Bhogar says, in his Bhogar 7000, thus.
Ganesha stands on A’) Kaara அ,,in that at an angle stands U,உ,there at an angle Devi resides as Vallabhai( she is also considered as the Consort of Ganesa in Tantric Texts / He is also portrayed as Vallabha Ganapathi): at an angle shall be as Kadhali flower( as shown here), lies Kundalini as a coiled, hissing female snake as Su kaara. சு காரம், as Thuriya State( The fourth stage,thers being Jagrath,Swapna,Sushupti )
Many important ancient texts of India are not, unfortunately not in India. These ancient treasures are preserved in Foreign museums,in some cases by the Government and some have found their way into priy collections. Manuscripts on Palm leaves ,some in a very bad condition are preserved digitally inany places. I had written on some of them .
Not only Vedic scriptures and texts of Sanatana Dharma, but ancient, highly advanced Yoga texts in Tamil,most of them in Palm leaves are also preserved abroad.
The worship of Siva as Adhi Yogi in Tamil Nadu pre dates Sanatana Dharma. Details about Yoga as initially taught by Siva abounds in Tamil.The Yoga by Siva is called Vaasi Yoga, a process that helps one to realise Bliss, by interacting directly with Consciousness with the help of Nadis Nadis may be defined as Nerve centres or the path through which the life force Prana flows.The texts that deal with them are mostly abroad.And they are preserved digitally.I am providing the Link towards the close of the article. You may visit the site and have a look. Original palm leaves are available for study and research. Instead of going through spurious material touted as Original, study the Palmleaf manuscripts.
Though Siva is worshipped as the Iswara of Yoga, others, Ganapathi,Devi, Subrahmanya, Mahalakshmi and Vishnu are also worshipped as being present in the Chakras. Ganapathi sits in Mooladhar with Valla hai,His consort,controls bodily wastes procreation and aids one in raising Kundalini.
