Ganesh is one of the deities in the Hindu pantheon. Ganesha is revered as the
Remover of Obstacles and is honoured at the beginning of ceremonies, invoked as Patron of Letters during writing sessions.
Ganesha is a Sanskrit compound, joining the words gana (meaning a group, multitude, or categorical system) and isha (meaning lord or master).
Ganesha is identified with the
Hindu mantra Aum. The term oṃkārasvarūpa (Aum is his form), refers to the notion that ganesha personifies the primal sound.
The Ganapati Atharvashirsa attests to this association. Chinmayananda translates the relevant passage as follows:
(O Lord Ganapati!) You are (the Trinity) Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesa. You are Indra. You are fire [Agni] and air [Vāyu]. You are the sun [Sūrya] and the moon [Chandrama]. You are Brahman. You are (the three worlds) Bhuloka [earth], Antariksha-loka [space], and Swargaloka [heaven]. You are Om. (That is to say, You are all this).
Principal scriptures dedicated to Ganesha: The Ganesha Purana, the the Ganapati Atharvashirsa and the Mudgala Purana.
Musaka
Ganapati’s mouse is an enigmatic and ancient figure. The mouse is mentioned in the Yajurveda as the sacrificial offering (Purodhasa) that is buried in the ground while Brahmin priests perform the sacrifice meant for the fulfillment of a desire.
