Imagine there are no obstacles on your path. You can instantly manifest anything you desire. All your wishes would come true; your goals achieved; your ambitions fulfilled. Visualize a situation, outcome, or effect, and it would come to pass – gracefully, elegantly, and without effort. This is every human’s dream from the beginning of time; and, to make this dream come true you need only look to Ganesh – a concept as much as a deity – expressed in art as an elephant’s head on a human body.

The week’s New Arrival features a stone sculpture of Ganesh. Although an elephant’s head on a human body may seem far-fetched, it’s what Ganesh symbolizes that really matters. Known as the “remover of obstacles,” Ganesh is a potent reminder that what we do and how we act reveals the potential in all things.  Look closely at this particular statue and you’ll also discover Barong, a spirit representing all things good. Together, you can almost hear them say – within us all is the capacity to forge a completely fulfilling and rewarding life.
