This is a powerful name of Lord Ganesh, the son of the Divine Mother Parvati and Shiva, the Great God. Vighna means "obstacles, difficulties, hindrances." Eshwara means lord. Thus, He is the Lord of Obstacles, in that He removes and destroys them. In this form, Lord Ganesh is the most popular Hindu deity. Hindus pray to Him at the start of every day, before any prayers or rituals and indeed before any important action or undertaking. One who has been gifted with this name can meditate on its deep meaning and thereby remove all that stands in the way of progression on his spiritual path.
