Ganesh (गणेश) - Indian Elephant Deity Tie

Lord Ganesh, who is also known by various other names such as Ganapathi, Vinaayaka or Vighneswara, is the God who helps us overcome obstacles in life. He is the son of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathi. He is the elephant faced God who is worshipped as the very first deity before beginning any ceremony, ritual or vow. Worshipping Ganapathi endows man with the courage and confidence needed to enter upon and carry through any undertakings in the world. So it is only appropriate that every rite or ceremony or project should be started with the worship of this God. According to the Puranas (epics), this was a boon conferred upon Him by Lord Shiva. Great! Ganapathi has the head of an elephant and has a mouse as a vehicle. The elephant is well known for its intelligence. It also acts as guide to mankind in the sense that it clears the way as it treads along in a dense forest. Similarly, in the forest of life, to clear the thorny bushes of pain, sorrow and suffering, one should tread along the path shown by intellect. Ganapathi has the elephant face as a symbol of high intelligence that can guide us on the right path. The mouse (mooshika) is a symbol of darkness. Because Vinaayaka has control over the darkness, He is described as the rider on a mouse (mooshika). The mouse is also a symbol of the sense of smell. It moves about following the direction of the smell (vaasana). Vinaayaka is the One who has mastery over our Vaasanas, that is desires and ignorance (represented by mooshika).
