Crawling Baby Ganesh statue | |
|
Ganesh, also called
Ganapati, the
elephant headed God
of Wisdom and Success
is the defender and
remover of obstacles
and has to be
propritiated first
before worshiping
other Gods. He is one
of the sons of Siva
and Parvati. He is
known as "Sidhi Data"
or bestower of
success in the work.
His elephant head is
believed to be an
emblem of wisdom. His
head often has one
full tusk, while the
other is broken. It
is said that he lost
it in a fight or that
he used it to dictate
the Maha-Bharata to
the sage Vyasa. His
mount or standard is
a rat, a symbol in
Hindu fable of the
sagasity & trickery
of this world, much
like the fox in the
west. So it is
natural that the rat
should first be
conquered, then
subdued and employed
by the being who
represents spiritual
strength, whom he was
bound to recognise as
his superior, since
his own cunning would
tell him that Ganesh
would prove a better
guide than even his
own perspicacity.
