Dear cecill/robert
I have observed some of the important significance of the elephant faced
objects and its applications with related to fengshui.
Normaly in all most all old traditional type of temples in INDIA will have
the elephant faced stone sculpture blessing carvings in front of the
temples,as such the significance of the same is that,which Converts negative
forces in to positive.From this ,it seems Indians were also aware of some
fengshui techniques in diff name. similar type faced idol called LORD
GANESHA is being also worshipped by Indians. Further ganesha faced idol will
be put in to road dagors or for secret arrows to revert back the nagative
effects.White coloured elephant objects is very good for fengshui
applications.That is the sign of high stability ,strength and high
resistance to the negative forces.In vedic literatures also LORD ganapathi,
who has elephant face called "sakala vigna nivaraka" that means one who
controls negative effects.
regards
santhu.

Sri, you have brought up a very interesting point.
I, personally, bought a 'Ganesh' (an elephant faced sculpture) from India and prominently display it in the living room, thinking that it is just part of good luck charm.
From an Indian perspective, do you think that it is not appropriate to display it in the living room and should be placed out the house at the entrance, instead? Would appreciate your sharing of how to handle an Indian elephant sculpture.
Thank you.... Desmond

dear forum memeber,
At the outset ,we should say thanks to Mr.cecill and robert for providing
world wide fengshui web site and sharing of various views and topics among,
our forum members.I once again sincerely appreciate their support and co
operation.
While refering to your e mail dtd 14-JUN-99,I wish to suggest the following
for the placement of elephant faced objects.
a}This type of objects could help us, if place it, at the intersecting
points of inside walls of the premises as well as out side.i.e which acts as
secret dagor.
b}This could be also kept in living rooms in which idol should face opposite
to the door entrance or diagonaly depends upon the situations and other
aspects of fengshui or even some times at the intersecting axis of secret
arrow from opposite direction.
c}Road dagors also could be avoided while placing a small idol in front of
the compound walls facing directly to the road.
d}White coloured blessing elephant faced idols is very auspicious for
placing in the helpful area{north west},which generates positive force as
such LORD GANAPATHI IS CALLED "AKASHAPATHI" that means one who holds the
portfolio of "VYKTHA AKASHA" OR what we are seeing sky and space.He is the
main commnicator for various frequencies in and around the space.
e}placing of this objects on diaster line also helps to revert back the
effects.
regards
santhu
