Intro by Neeti Keswani, Host of Luxury Unplugged Podcast:
Namaste and welcome, beautiful souls!
As we approach the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, many celebrate Lord Ganesha as the remover of obstacles or Vighnaharta. But have you ever considered that Lord Ganesha might also be the ultimate business coach?
In today’s episode of Luxury Unplugged, we’ll explore the divine wisdom of Lord Ganesha and why, in 2023, His teachings are more relevant than ever — especially for spiritual entrepreneurs and mindful business leaders.
Let’s dive into how this beloved deity holds timeless insights that can truly transform your business mindset.
Q1: Neeti, why do we celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi?
Neeti Keswani:
Ganesh Chaturthi marks the birth of Lord Ganesha, the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati — the god of wisdom, intellect, new beginnings, and remover of obstacles.
But more than just a religious celebration, it’s an invitation to reset your intentions, clear energetic blocks, and align with your highest purpose.
In the context of business or personal growth, Ganesh Chaturthi is that sacred pause — where we can recalibrate, reflect, and realign.
Q2: What makes Lord Ganesha the “world’s best business coach”?
Neeti Keswani:
Let’s look at the symbolism:
- Big Ears – Listen more, speak less. In business, listening to your audience is everything.
- Small Eyes – Focus. Ignore distractions and zero in on your vision.
- Large Stomach – Digest all experiences — good or bad. Your failures are not final.
- Trunk – Flexibility. The trunk can uproot trees or pick up a needle — just like a good entrepreneur must shift gears fluidly.
- One Tusk Broken – Let go of what no longer serves you. You don’t need everything to win; you need the right mindset.
Lord Ganesha’s wisdom teaches us clarity, humility, strategic thinking, and grounded leadership.
Q3: How can we apply Ganesh’s teachings to our business or life in 2023?
Neeti Keswani:
The modern world is noisy. It’s all hustle, algorithms, and comparison traps.
But Ganesh reminds us to return to our inner compass.
Here are 3 quick applications of His wisdom in your business:
- Start with Clarity
Just like Ganesh is worshipped at the beginning of any endeavor, start every new project with clear intention and focused strategy. - Embrace Challenges
Don’t avoid the “obstacles”. Learn from them. Ganesh doesn’t just remove obstacles — He teaches you how to rise above them. - Stay Humble Yet Wise
Your business is not about ego — it’s about impact. Ganesha shows us how to lead with grace, intellect, and inner strength.
Q4: Any rituals or practices you’d recommend during Ganesh Chaturthi for business owners?
Neeti Keswani:
Absolutely. Here are some intentional practices I recommend:
- Light a diya (lamp) before starting your workday during the 10 days of Ganesh Chaturthi.
- Chant the mantra “Om Gan Ganapataye Namah” to bring focus and invoke divine wisdom.
- Write down one limiting belief you’re ready to release — and one inspired action you’re committing to take.
- Reflect on your business values. Are they in alignment with your soul?
Ganesh Chaturthi isn’t just a festival. It’s a spiritual strategy reset — especially for those building conscious, impact-driven businesses.
Conclusion:
So as we celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi in 2023, let’s not just worship a deity — let’s learn from Him.
Lord Ganesha is not just the remover of obstacles — He’s the original life coach, the OG business strategist, and a reminder that spiritual strength and strategic thinking can (and must) coexist.
Whether you’re starting a new venture or scaling your business, take His wisdom with you.
Because the best kind of success?
Is the one rooted in consciousness, courage, and clarity.
