The Majestic and Powerful Lord Ganesha In Bangkok

Today my journey continues in an unknown direction as I have not planned my journey specifically. I spent another free and easy around Bangkok by using an MRT unlimited daily travelling pass since morning. As I had paid my respects to the Majestic and compassionate 4 Faced-God Brahma yesterday. 

Today, I was thinking where to I find and to visit and pay a respect to Lord Ganesha?  According to Tibetan Buddhism, the Lord Ganesha is compassionately to be known as Arya Ganapati, Maha Rakta (The great red Lord of host or Ganas).

As I have decided to try another MRT station before I call off my day as it is approaching evening 7pm. My instinct guided me to stop at Huai Khwang M11 station. 

From this station, several entertainment complexes are within walking distance. As I was walking towards to my right direction but i only could see another shopping mall , instead of walking towards,  I turned and walked towards to the opposite direction and "pingo" , it is unbelievable that  Majestic Lord Ganesha is about 100 metres away.

This is the entrance of the Lord Ganesha Shrine and it is being guided by one of the deity or a protector, and many devotees were praying and offering flowers, yellow candles and incense. 

Devotees were praying with their faiths, devotions and respects to Lord Ganesha for receiving His divine Blessing to overcome their problems or obstacles in life. This is according to the Tibetan Buddhism of Lord Ganesha:-

Arya Ganapati Mantra

Om Ah Gah Hum Phat Svaha

Lord Ganesha is compassionately and famously depicted in Hinduism, He is revered as the Remover of obstacles and a Bringer of Wealth. Lord Ganesha is the son of the Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati. 

MLord Ganesha he was born with a human head, but beheaded by Lord Shiva during a misunderstood clash. His father Lord Shiva placed an elephant head in place of the human head, which was lost during the fight. 

Lord Ganesha is compassionately to be known as Arya Ganapati, Maha Rakta (The great red Lord of host or Ganas). According to Tibetan Buddhism, he is an emanation of Avalokitesvara ( In Sanskrit) Chenrezig (In Tibetan) Goddess Of Mercy Kuan Yin (In Chinese). 

Above the Arya Ganapati is Amithabha Buddha as printed in this Tangka. Amithabha Buddha, the Buddha of infinite Light. Lord Ganesha is most widely worshipped in Hinduism, but is also revered in Buddhism and Jainism.

"Ganapati, who is in essence Chenrezig, manifested in this aspect to relieve the poverty of sentient beings. May I be able to obtain wealth and be able to eliminate all sentient beings' poverty, according to Dharma and poverty of the means of living, and the enjoyments, immediately. 

My kind root guru manifested in this aspect".
"I shall prostrate, offer incense, and generate infinite bliss".  This is guided and praised by H.E. Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
