At a glance
The hands hooked together in front of the chest, palms facing opposite directions, gently pulling against each other before releasing. Named for Ganesha, traditionally associated with removing obstacles, it's more dynamic than most other mudras in this family, involving brief active engagement rather than sustained stillness.
“Let the pull be brief and controlled, then fully release.”
Essence
The pull here should be brief and controlled, followed by a genuine release, rather than a sustained hold under tension. This mudra's dynamic quality, engage then release, is part of what distinguishes it from the more static positions elsewhere in this family.
Intention
To hook the hands together and gently pull against each other, engaging the chest and arms briefly before releasing, traditionally associated with courage and overcoming obstacles.
