David Oscarson Lord Ganesha Emerald Green Fountain Pen

The David Oscarson Lord Ganesha Fountain Pen symbolizes Lord Ganesha aka Lord of the masses. Lord of all beings. Lord Ganesha is the first son of Lord Shiva; one who has realized Reality and discovered Godhood in himself. In Hindu mythological literature, Ganesha is described as having a human form with an elephant’s head. Lord Ganesha has four arms, representing the mind, intellect, ego and conditioned consciousness. In one hand, he holds an axe, symbolizing the destruction of all desires. In another, he holds a rope, which is meant to pull the seeker out of his worldly entanglements. In the third hand, he holds a rice ball, or modaka, representing the joyous rewards of spiritual seeking. In the fourth hand he holds a lotus, or padama, representing the supreme goal of evolution, drawing the attention of all seekers to aspire to a supreme state of reality through proper spiritual practices. Achieving the ultimate state of human perfection requires discipline and eagerness to listen to eternal truths and to reflect upon them independently with great introspection.

In ancient India, the supreme ultimate reality (God) was known as Brahman. Seeking and becoming one with the Brahman was the ultimate goal for those pursuing the spiritual path. The word OM (or AUM) was a symbol of this supreme ultimate reality. The Om symbol is repeated three times around the cap of the Ganesha collection while a trident adorns the top of the crown.
