Self-materialized Ganesh Murtis

Significance of self-materialized Murti of Ganesh

The Murtis of Shri Vigneshwar, Shri Girijatmaj and Shri Varad Vinayak are self-materialized. Divine Consciousness is greater in self-materialized Ganesh Murtis than in sculpted ones. The mission of a self-materialized Ganesh Murtis of purifying the environment is multiple times more than by a sculpted Murti as it is able to emit sattvikta simultaneously in equal proportions in all directions.

Self-materialized Murti of Shri Ganesh, Shri Varad Vinayak, Mahad

1. Special features

A. ‘Since a self-materialized Ganesh Murti has been created by nature due to God’s wish, the Divine Consciousness in it is more than in a Murti sculpted by man.

B. Such Murtis possess maximum amount nirgun (Non-materialised) Principle, which is His primal Principle. This Principle functions at a level beyond the Tejtattva (Absolute Fire Principle) that is at the level of the Vayu (Absolute Air) or Akash (Absolute Ether) Principles.

C. Duration of persistence of Divine Consciousness from the self-materialized Murti too is more than in a man-made Murti.

D. Even if the shape of organs of self-materialized Ganesh Murtis, such as the trunk, ears, eyes etc is not perfect from the viewpoint of Spirituality, still the the Shri Ganesh Principle is active in it. This is because such Murtis are beyond the restrictions of place and time. On the the other hand only if organs of man-made Ganesh Murtis are sculpted perfectly as per Scriptures, then the Shri Ganesh Principle gets attracted to them.

E. This Murti gets created in keeping with that era.

F. The Ganesh Principle is inherent in a self-materialized Ganesh Murti. As against this, it has to be attracted into a sculpted Ganesh Murti by performing ritualistic worship or consecration.

2. Importance

A. A sculpted Murti is beneficial in spiritual practice performed with expectations while a self-materialized one endows the benefit of spiritual practice without expectations.

B. The mission of purifying a region and the atmosphere of a self-materialized Shri Ganesh Murti is multiple times more than a sculpted one. It can function equally in all directions simultaneously.’
