Lord Ganesha Family: In the Hindu culture to start any new venture or journey, it is mandatory to worship Lord Ganesha to seek his blessings. But we all know about Lord Ganesha’s powers and his significance in worshiping. But have you ever researched Lord Ganesha’s Family? 

Do you know who are the family members of Lord Ganesha’s and why they worshiped? How many of you know about Lord Ganesha’s Family? Although Lord Ganesha is more commonly recognized as a celibate, the Ganesha Purana and the Mudgala Purana, which are writings dedicated to him, contain information about his wives Siddhi and Buddhi (also called Riddhi). 

Lord Ganesha Family

Siddhi is a term for spiritual strength, and Buddhi is a term for intellect. The consorts are appropriate because Lord Ganesha is regarded as the God of wisdom and spiritual knowledge. According to the Ganesha Purana, Lord Brahma made prayers to Lord Ganesha while engaging in a rite in his honor. Siddhi and Buddhi, two of his daughters born from his intellect, were two of the offerings that Lord Ganesha gladly took as his brides. Here is the list of Lord Ganesha with family members:

Father and Mother: Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati

Brothers: The most well-known sibling of Ganesha is his elder brother, Kartikeya. He has four brothers, namely Sukesh, Jalandhar, Aiyappa, and Bhuma.

Sisters: Ashok Sundari is Lord Ganesha’s sister. However, Ganesha’s sisters Jaya, Vishhar, Shamilbari, Dev, and Dotli were Naag kanya children of Lord Shiva, who also had several other daughters. Nahusha was the husband of Ashok Sundari.

Ganesha is married to five women. Riddhi and Siddhi, the first two, are well known. Tushti, Pushti, and Shri are others.

Ganesh, the Lord has two sons, Shubh and Labh, as well as two grandsons, Amod and Pramod.

Description Of Lord Ganesha’s Family

Lord Ganesha is the younger son of Lord Shiva and he was made by Goddess Parvati. Where the diversities, discrepancies, and disagreements never spoiled the Lord shiva’s family relations. Thus the family of Lord Shiva is considered the best example of unity in diversity. The family of Lord Ganesha’s family followed suit. 

Lord Ganesha Family

As we described above the family members of Lord Ganesha, have two sons Shubh and Labh along with their two grandsons, Amod and Pramod.

We can see that the members of his family imply each of these things when we refer to Lord Ganesha as the lord of wisdom, wealth, prosperity, knowledge, and profit. The Ganesha Chaturthi mantra extends an invitation to Lord Ganesha, his wives Riddhi and Siddhi, and his sons (Shubh and Labh). 

We ask Lord Ganesha and his entire family to bless us by chanting (Om Sri Ganesha Namah, Riddhi Siddhi Shubh Labh). If Lord Ganesha arrives alone, devotees anticipate that he won’t remain long before returning to his family. Lord Ganesha is forced to stay with his devotee as a result of the invitation to the entire family.

The tale of Lord Ganesha’s sons, as well as Shubh and Labh characteristics, are regarded as a reflection.

If we think about the story we all are Ganapatis (Gana is our body made of the pancha-mahabhuta (five elements), and the patis means the master or owner). Hence Lord Ganesha shows us the way of achieving intellectual wealth to live an enjoyable and rewarding life. 

Lord Ganesha’s Sons: Shubh And Labh

There is mention of Lord Ganesha’s two sons in Shiva Purana. In some of the temples, there are idols of Lord Ganesha with their family members including his wives and two sons. Lord Brahma conducted Lord Ganesha’s marriage with Siddhi and Riddhi (also called Buddhi). Later in the due course of time Shubh and Labh were born.

Son of Ganesha

Shubh,Riddhi and Labh are the son of Ganesha. Shubh is also known as the God of prosperity whereas Labh is the god of profit. The Lamb is called the giver of the biggest profit whereas the Shubh is called the protector of that bounty.

Lord Ganesha is knowledge, Siddhi is spiritual well-being and Labh is profit whereas Ganesha (wisdom), riddhi is intellect, and shubh is called (auspiciousness). 

Only when intelligence is used with wisdom can it be fortunate or advantageous to anyone. As a result, Lord Ganesha is referred to as the Lord or the owner of the qualities that his wife and sons possess.

Lord Ganesha’s Daughter: Santoshi Maa

Santoshi, the name of Lord Ganesha’s daughter, is also well known. The goddess of satisfaction is Santoshi Maa. Despite the widespread misconception, none of the scriptures refer to Ganesha’s daughter.

As previously mentioned, the Shiva Purana describes the birth of Lord Ganesha’s son. The origin narrative of Santoshi Maa begins with Ganesha’s sister Manasa joining him to celebrate the festival. His sons pray to Ganesha for a sibling.

Ganesha produces Santoshi Mata with two flames that emerge from the breasts of his two wives, Riddhi and Siddhi, after originally refusing to do so in response to the persistent requests of his two wives, Riddhi and Siddhi, sons, sister, and the heavenly sage Narada. This Ganesha daughter-mind-born was ordered by Narada to always fulfill everyone’s desires, hence he is called Santoshi maa, the goddess of satisfaction.

Ganesha Iconography
