Vighnesh (Meaning of one of the names of Lord Ganesh )
Vighna (विघ्न) + ish (ईश) = Vighnesh (विघ्नेश). The word 'vighna' is derived from 'visheshen ghnati' which means mainly distress. The one who controls and destroys obstacles is Vighnesh. The obstacle in this context is entrapment by the 360 (raja-tama) and 108 (sattva) frequencies.
Ish (ईश) is derived from i (ई) + sha (श). I-ikshate (ई-इक्षते) means to watch and sha-shamayate (श-शमयते) means to cool. So Ish is the one who keeps a watch and destroys the heat generated by the 360 and 108 frequencies. Vighnaharta (vanquisher of obstacles) is another Name of Ganapati. Since Ganapati gets rid of obstacles, He is worshipped before performing any auspicious religious ceremony. - His Holiness Dr. Jayant Athavle
