                                              Each of the Seven Chakras has a Presiding Deity  -

                                The first chakra is the base chakra, known as the Muladhara Chakra

                                                  And the presiding Deity is Lord Ganesha  -

                                       'Mula' means root or origin  -  a reference to the Kundalini

                                               which is the Root of the Tree of Life, and the

                                                                Origin of the Creation.

                                             'Dhara' means support  -  thus, Shri Ganesha is

                                                 the supporter of the Kundalini, His Mother.

                                 This indicates that Innocence, the quality of Lord Ganesha, is

                                                          necessary for spiritual ascent.

                                  Shri Ganesha is the personification of Innocence and Wisdom,

                                                       the Deity of Auspicious beginnings,

                                    the remover of obstacles to enterprises and spiritual ascent.

                                                       He is the Supporter of His Mother,

                                                             the Kundalini Shakti.

       Gender-neutral bija mantras for the individual chakras help activate those chakras and prepare them for the handling of energy that is processed and used at that specific site.   For instance, the seed sound Ram for the solar plexus chakra will produce smoother functioning of all the organs related to digestion.

        LAM  (lahm)  -

        Seed sound for the Muladhara chakra, located at the base of the spine.  It is ruled by the Earth element and has the quality of smell.   When a seeker meditates on Lam, a mystic fragrance is said to appear as an indication of spiritual progress.
