The God of All Things New, Good, and Healthy

The God of All Things New, Good, and Healthy

In Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesha is revered as the remover of obstacles, the god of new beginnings, and the patron of wisdom and intellect. Every new venture, every important decision, every journey begins with a prayer to Ganesha — seeking his blessings to clear the path ahead.

At MapmyGenome, we see a beautiful parallel between the spirit of Ganesha and the spirit of genomics. Both are about removing obstacles — the obstacles of ignorance, of uncertainty, of preventable disease. Both are about new beginnings — the beginning of a healthier, more informed life. And both are about wisdom — the wisdom to know yourself, and to use that knowledge to live better.

The Obstacles Genomics Removes

• The obstacle of ignorance — not knowing your genetic health risks until it’s too late to act

• The obstacle of uncertainty — not knowing why you gain weight easily, why certain medications don’t work for you, or why certain conditions run in your family

• The obstacle of generic advice — following one-size-fits-all health recommendations that don’t account for your unique biology

• The obstacle of preventable disease — developing conditions that could have been delayed or prevented with early knowledge and targeted lifestyle changes

A New Beginning

Every Genomepatri test is a new beginning — the start of a more informed, more personalised, more proactive relationship with your health. It is the removal of the greatest obstacle of all: not knowing yourself.
