| Temples for Lord Ganesh |
Ganesha is revered as the son of the
Universal parents Shiva and Parvati, and is always honored first in most
worship services and rituals. Ganesha is also known as Ganapati,
Vigneswara, Vinayaka, Gajamukha and Ainkaran.
The huge size of Ganapati represents the Universe (Cosmos), and his
curled trunk, the symbol OM. The elephant's head is said to represent
superior intellect while the snake around his waist cosmic energy. His
broken tusk is symbolic of knowledge, as it is believed that it is with
this tusk that he wrote down the Mahabharata, in the capacity of a
scribe, when it was recited by the sage Vyasa. The mouse - mooshikam,
his mount is said to symbolize the equal importance of the biggest and
smallest of creatures, in the eyes of the infinity of creation Bhraman. |
