Teaching: Ganesha (or Ganapati), the elephant-headed god, is the son of Shiva (the Third Person of the Trinity of the Godhead) and his consort Parvati (or Gauri). He is one of the most popular Hindu deities. Ganesha is the remover of all obstacles. It is said that those who begin work or devotions without first praying to Ganesha may encounter obstacles. Ganesha is often shown attended by or riding a mouse, which can slip through tiny spaces and chew its way through obstacles. He is gentle and kind and freely bestows good fortune. Various legends explain how Ganesha got his elephant head. According to one legend, Parvati asked Ganesha to stand guard while she was bathing. When Shiva came unexpectedly to the house, Ganesha tried to prevent him from entering. A battle ensued and, in the midst of it, Ganesha’s head was cut off. This so infuriated Parvati that Shiva sent the gods to bring back the head of the first living creature they found. They returned with an elephant’s head. Another legend states that Parvati, proud of her offspring, asked Sani (Saturn) to admire her child, forgetful of Sani’s powers. The child’s head was burnt to ashes by his glance. Brahma told Parvati to replace it, and the first head she found was an elephant’s. Ganesha represents the basic principle that the Macrocosm is reflected in the microcosm, that God dwells in man. The elephant-headed man symbolizes the unity of the small being (man) and the Great Being (God), pictured as the elephant, the king of the animal world.
