Ganesh is the first son of Lord Shiva and Parvathi, who are symbolically the great forces in Nature to make dynamic changes in the Universe and destroy all types of evils and negative influences on mankind. These are the powers beyond human control. Ganesh is said to have been born to his parents not in the usual biological phenomenon but externally by cosmic influences and reactions. That is why he is known as ‘Manasik Putra’ son of Cosmic Mind. Several attempts were made by the great Rishis to explain these cosmic influences and reactions in the form of popular stories for the understanding of the common man but basically it signifies that the new born baby ‘Ganesh’ was an entity endowed with unlimited cosmic powers. He is therefore known also by several other names like Vighneswara, Ganapathi Lambodara etc to highlight the powers attributed to him. Ganesh himself with his two consorts Buddhi (Intelligence) and Siddhi (Achievement) symbolizes ‘Wisdom’. The icon of elephant head and riding on a small mouse represents the possibility of heavy responsibilities being capable of intelligently working through the smallest of tools, material or spiritual. It also symbolizes how even small creatures can sustain great strength through wisdom. Legend says he was the first non-stop writer or stenographer for the epic Mahabharatha when the great sage Vyasa dictated the same non-stop.
