made in Indian philosophy is personalities having 'Satva'.
'rajas' and 'tamo' gunas. The 'sātvik' man is characterised
by nobleness of character. His thoughts are noble and
actions are actuated by the highest motives. His hallmark
is unselfishness in thought, word and deed. He is not
disturbed by the pair of opposites or 'dvandvas'. The
'Rājasik' man's actions are actuated by the profit motive
and when the expected returns do not come in, he loses his
equipoise. He is affected by the 'dvandvas' or pair of
opposites. The 'Tāmasik' man is dull and inert and his life
centres round eating, drinking, sleeping and procreating.
There is a fourth class which the poet Bhartrhari has very
deftly described by the phrase "Te ke na jānimahe" i.e.
(we do not know in which group they fall). This class
delights in doing harm to others for no reason except for the
vicious pleasure it occasions them. Ganesha as the Supreme
Spirit is beyond these 'Gunās'. Ganesha is also beyond the
three bodily states of waking, dreaming and sleeping as He
is always in the 'turiya' state, immersed in a deep trance.
All finite phenomena are conditioned by time, symbo-
lised by the cycles of birth, growth and decay and death. As
the Infinite Spirit, Ganesha is beyond the three states of
time viz. the past, the present and the future. He always
was, always is and always will be in existence. As
stated earlier, the 'Mulādhara Chakra', is situated
just above the organs of generation. The 'Kundalini' or
primeval Shakti lies dormant in the 'Mulādhāra Chakra'
and rises through the various Chakras until it unites with
the Sahasrāra Chakra in the brain, which is equivalent to the
union between individual soul and the universal soul.
Ganesha is the primeval Shakti or energy which created
the universe, which is situated in the Mulādhara Chakra.
Ganesha is endowed with the three 'Shaktis' or powers,
"Prabhu Shakti", "Mantra Shakti" and "Utsāha Shakti"
which are attributes of the Supreme Spirit..
By constant meditation on Ganesha, Yogis gain absolu-
tion as they become completely merged in Him and lose
their separate identity permanently. Methods and techniques
