Kishoo
Ganapathi (Vighneshwara), the remover of obstacles.
WE all know that Ganapathi is an important deity of the
Hindus, and as is well known, he is represented with a human body
and an elephant's head. The Shiva Purana tells the story behind
his strange appearance: Once when Shiva's consort, Parvati, needed
someone to guard the door while she was bathing, no one being
immediately available, she molded a human figure out of a lump of
clay, put it outside the door of the bathroom, and breathed life
into him. She ordered the live figure not to allow anyone to
enter. Soon afterwards her husband Lord Shiva arrived and was
refused admission by the doorkeeper. He was furious and in his
rage cut off the doorkeeper's head. Parvati was very upset. To
make amends to his wife, Shiva cut off the head of Indra's
elephant and fixed it on the human body; and so Ganapathi came
into being. Ganapathi is the God of wisdom and the remover of
obstacles. Consequently his name is invoked before beginning a new
venture.
Do you know why Ganapathi travels on mouse? The mouse symbolizes
the darkness of night. The mouse can see well in the dark. As
Vinayaka's vehicle the mouse signifies an object that leads man
from darkness to light. The Vinayaka-principle, thus, means that
which removes all the bad qualities, as well.
I thought, I could share, what I read somewhere:
James Fernandes.
