History
Ganesha — the elephant-deity riding a mouse — has become one of the
commonest mnemonics for anything associated with Hinduism. This not only
suggests the importance of Ganesha, but also shows how popular and
pervasive
this deity is in the minds of the masses.
The Lord of Success
The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha has an elephantine countenance
with a
curved trunk and big ears, and a huge pot-bellied body of a human being.
He is
the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also
worshipped
as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth. In fact, Ganesha
is one
of the five prime Hindu deities (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Durga being
the
other four) whose idolatry is glorified as the panchayatana puja.
Significance of the Ganesha Form
Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul, which is the
ultimate
supreme reality of human existence, and his human body signifies Maya
or
the earthly existence of human beings. The elephant head denotes wisdom
and its
trunk represents Om, the sound
symbol of cosmic reality. In his upper right hand Ganesha holds a goad,
which
helps him propel mankind forward on the eternal path and remove
obstacles from
the way. The noose in Ganesha's left hand is a gentle implement to
capture all
difficulties.
The broken tusk that Ganesha holds like a pen in his lower right hand
is a
symbol of sacrifice, which he broke for writing the Mahabharata.
The rosary in
his other hand suggests that the pursuit of knowledge should be
continuous. The
laddoo (sweet) he holds in his trunk indicates that one must
discover
the sweetness of the Atman. His fan-like ears convey that he is
all ears
to our petition. The snake that runs round his waist represents energy
in all
forms. And he is humble enough to ride the lowest of creatures, a mouse.
How Ganesha Got His Head
The story of the birth of this zoomorphic deity, as depicted in the Shiva
Purana, goes like this: Once goddess Parvati, while bathing, created
a boy
out of the dirt of her body and assigned him the task of guarding the
entrance
to her bathroom. When Shiva, her husband returned, he was surprised to
find a
stranger denying him access, and struck off the boy's head in rage.
Parvati
broke down in utter grief and to soothe her, Shiva sent out his squad (gana)
to fetch the head of any sleeping being who was facing the north. The
company
found a sleeping elephant and brought back its severed head, which was
then
attached to the body of the boy. Shiva restored its life and made him
the
leader (pati) of his troops. Hence his name 'Ganapati'. Shiva
also
bestowed a boon that people would worship him and invoke his name before
undertaking any venture.
However, there's another less popular story of his origin, found in
the Brahma
Vaivarta Purana: Shiva asked Parvati to observe the punyaka vrata
for a year to appease Vishnu in order to have a son. When a son was born
to
her, all the gods
and
goddesses assembled to rejoice on its birth. Lord Shani, the son of
Surya (Sun-God), was also present but he refused to look at the infant.
Perturbed at this behaviour, Parvati asked him the reason, and Shani
replied
that his looking at baby would harm the newborn. However, on Parvati's
insistence when Shani eyed the baby, the child's head was severed
instantly.
All the gods started to bemoan, whereupon Vishnu hurried to the bank of
river
Pushpabhadra and brought back the head of a young elephant, and joined
it to
the baby's body, thus reviving it.
Ganesha, the Destroyer of Pride
Ganesha is also the destroyer of vanity, selfishness and pride. He is
the
personification of material universe in all its various magnificent
manifestations. "All Hindus worship Ganesha regardless of their
sectarian
belief," says D N Singh in A Study of Hinduism. "He is both
the beginning of the religion and the meeting ground for all Hindus."
