Consorts of Ganesha (original) (raw)
The marital status of Ganesha varies widely in mythological stories and the issue has been the subject of considerable scholarly review. Several patterns of associations with different consorts are identifiable. One pattern of myths identifies Ganesha as an unmarried brahmacārin with no consorts. Another mainstream pattern associates him with the concepts of Buddhi (intellect), Siddhi (spiritual power), and Riddhi (prosperity); these qualities are sometimes personified as goddesses who are considered to be Ganesha's wives. Another pattern connects Ganesha with the goddess of culture and the arts, Sarasvati. In the Bengal region he is linked with the banana tree, Kala Bo (or Kola Bou). Usually Ganesha's consort is portrayed as his shakti, a personification of his creative energy.

| dbo:abstract | The marital status of Ganesha varies widely in mythological stories and the issue has been the subject of considerable scholarly review. Several patterns of associations with different consorts are identifiable. One pattern of myths identifies Ganesha as an unmarried brahmacārin with no consorts. Another mainstream pattern associates him with the concepts of Buddhi (intellect), Siddhi (spiritual power), and Riddhi (prosperity); these qualities are sometimes personified as goddesses who are considered to be Ganesha's wives. Another pattern connects Ganesha with the goddess of culture and the arts, Sarasvati. In the Bengal region he is linked with the banana tree, Kala Bo (or Kola Bou). Usually Ganesha's consort is portrayed as his shakti, a personification of his creative energy. Some of the differences between these patterns can be understood by looking at regional variations across India, the time periods in which the patterns are found, and the traditions in which the beliefs are held. Some differences pertain to the preferred meditation form used by the devotee, with many different traditional forms ranging from Ganesha as a young boy (Sanskrit: बाल गणपति; bālagāņapati) to Ganesha as a Tantric deity. (en) El estado matrimonial de Ganesha (AITS: Gaṇeśa) varía ampliamente en las historias mitológicas, por lo que el tema ha sido objeto de gran cantidad de trabajos académicos. Se pueden identificar varios patrones de asociaciones con diferentes consortes. Cierta clase de mitos muestra a Ganesha como un brahmacārin, es decir, célibe, sin esposas. Otro lo conecta con los conceptos de Buddhi —intelecto—, Siddhi —poder intelectual— y Riddhi (AITS: Ṛddhi) —prosperidad—; esas cualidades se encuentran personificadas como diosas casadas con la deidad. Existe una clase de mitos que liga a Ganesha con la diosa de la cultura y las artes, Sarasvati, y con la deidad de la riqueza y la prosperidad material, Laksmí. En la región bengalí, está unido al plátano, Kala Bo o Kola Bou. Normalmente, la consorte de Ganesha está representada como su shakti (śakti), una personificación de su energía creadora. El dios también puede aparecer con una sola esposa, una sirvienta sin nombre, llamada en sánscrito daşi. Algunas de las diferencias entre estas categorías de mitos pueden entenderse si se consideran las variaciones regionales en la India, las épocas en las que se observan y las tradiciones que sostienen estas creencias. Las distinciones se basan en la forma de meditación preferida por el devoto, que abarcan desde Ganesha como un niño —en sánscrito, बाल गणपति; bālagāņapati— hasta Ganesha como deidad tántrica. (es) |
