Lord Ganesh:
One of the most popular gods in India, Lord Ganesh or Ganpati is considered a symbol of wisdom and a bearer of good luck. He is revered throughout India as a great clearer of obstacles. Lord Ganesha is the elephant-headed God. He is worshiped first time in prayer. His names are repeated before any work is auspicious beginning, before any kind of worship is begun. It is said that the head of his elephant embodies everything related to wisdom, wise little eyes, long ears that miss nothing, a long nose that can sniff out anything fight and his vehicle, a mouse, reflects the importance a wise man gives to the smallest of life forms.
Ganesha is the first God. Riding on a mouse, one of the smallest creatures of nature and with the head of an elephant, the largest of all animals, indicating that Ganesh is the creator of all creatures. Elephants are very wise animals, which indicates that Lord Ganesha is an embodiment of wisdom. It also means the process of evolution: the mouse gradually evolves into an elephant and finally becomes a man. This is why Ganesh is a human body, an elephant head and a mouse as his vehicle. This is the philosophy of symbolic form.
Mythology
Centuries ago during a war between gods and demons, Lord Shiva was away for a long period. His wife, Goddess Parvati, afraid of being alone for a long time used his divine powers and created a son, Ganesh, and gave him the responsibility to protect the house. When Lord Shiva and his army, returned victorious to his home, Parvati was in her bath, and Ganesh had been strictly instructed not to let anyone in. Angered by Ganesh refusal to allow in the house, Lord Shiva and his Army cut the boy in the head. When Parvati came out of her bath, she was shocked and grieved to see her dead son. Lord Shiva, to pacify, her proclaimed that the head of Ganesh would be replaced by that of the first creature that came from the hill. It so happened that the first visitor of the hill was an elephant and his head was promptly cut off and placed on that of Lord Ganesh, and life was restored to the son of Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati. To pacify his wife further and compensate for the fact Killins own son, Lord Shiva granted to Ganesh the powers of a God and he blessed him that henceforth no activity will begin without invoking your name and blessing. Since then, he says, no new venture - the inauguration of accompany, the opening of a store, the foundation of a building into a new house - is deemed complete by Hindus without puja Ganesh.
He is very fond of sweet pudding or balls of rice flour with a soft core. On one of his birthday, he went into a house to accept offers of sweet puddings. After eating lots of them, he began to move their mouse in the night. Suddenly the mouse stumbled-it had seen a snake and became frightened with the result that Ganesha fell. His stomach burst open and all the sweet desserts came out. But Ganesha stuffed them in his stomach, and, seizing the snake, he tied around his belly.
Seeing all this, the moon in the sky had a laugh. This improper behavior of the moon annoyed him a lot and then he pulled out one of his tusks and hurled it against the moon, and cursed that no one should look at the moon on Ganesh Chaturthi day. If someone does, he will surely earn a bad name, censure or bad reputation. However, if by mistake someone to come look at the moon that day, and then the only way he can be freed from the curse is by repeating or listening to the story of Lord Krishna cleared his character on the Syamantaka gem. This story is quoted in the Srimad Bhagavatam. Lord Ganesha was pleased to order as well. Glory to Lord Ganesha! How kind and merciful He is to His devotees!
