A lot of people forget that Lord Ganesha has an elder brother.
Murugan (sometimes Kartikeya) was the firstborn of Shiva and Sri Parvati.
He was born to fight off a powerful asura.
He is the god of war, but more importantly victory, as he can help us win (by overcoming and moving on from) important or overwhelming struggles in our lives.
Jai Kartikeya!
I do not care if you wish to label yourself.
Do it if you must: Hindu, Yogi, Spiritual, Buddhist..if you must, do it.
Just know—that your attachment to word based form is only holding you back from the larger truth and the larger picture.Do not revel in ego found in societal “masks” instead—revel in the spirit.
Revel in the face before the face; the mask before the mask.
Abide in the true self and you will be free.
