Evolution of Love 2

Ganapati Festival

“Mouse symbolises darkness which means ignorance. Mouse moves about in darkness only, and not in light.

Therefore the inner meaning of mouse being Vinayaka’s vehicle is that he subdues ignorance. Parvati means Prithvi or earth. So when we say Ganapathi is Parvati’s son, it means he is son of the earth.

Partha, Arjuna’s another name, also means son of the soil. Every man is born of the earth. So every one is Ganapathi. Ganapathi means the Master of Ganas.

The ten senses, mind and intellect—these twelve are the Dwaadasa Adityas or twelve Ganas of which Ganapathi is the Lord. So he resides in every person in the form of intellect and Jnana or wisdom.”
