Ganesha in Upanishads, Puranas, Tantras and Stotras
Today I would like to share from a list of sources (which are currently available) which discuss and elaborately explain the Ganesha tattva. let us remember lord Ganesha, his glory on this auspicious day.Upanishads
1. Ganapati Atharvashirsha Upanishad
2. Ganesha tapini Upanishad
are the upanishads that establish ganapati as the para brahman (supreme absolute god)
1. Ganesha purana (also known as the bhargava purana)
3. Ganesha Khanda of brahma vaivarta purana tell us about Ganesha
skanda mahapurana, shiva purana, varaha purana, agni purana, narada purana and other puranas also contain texts or even dedicated chapters to Ganapati. apart from these texts, mantra shastras and stotra sahitya (hymns) by various sages, saints and scholars praise the glory of lord Ganesha.
A tantra work called vainayaka tantra or vinayaka tantra also elaborately discuss Ganesha and the mode of worshiping his different forms. certain samhitas (of agamic or tantric tradition) like vashishta samhita and kumara samhita (describing specific forms of ganesha are also found.) and fragments of rudrayamala tantra.
Adi Shankara bhagavad pada the great guru belonging to advaita doctrine has composed many hymns on Ganesha like Ganesha pancharatnam, Ganesha bhujanga prayata stotra, Ganapatya the tradition of worshiping Lord Ganesha as the supreme tattva has many more texts and philosophical aspects and explanations which are passed through in the tradition.
