GREAT BRONZE RECLINING GANESH 7"H
WONDERFUL REPRODUCTION OF ANCIENT HINDU STATUE - THE REMOVER OF OBSTACLES Ganesh, also called Ganapati, the elephant headed God
of Wisdom and Success is the defender and remover of
obstacles and has to be propritiated first before
worshipping other Gods. He is one of the sons of
Shiva and Parvati. He is known as "Sidhi Data" or
bestower of success in the work. His elephant head is
believed to be an emblem of wisdom. His head often
has on full tusk, while the other is broken. It is
said that he lost it in a fight or that he used it to
dicatte the Maha-Bharata to the sage Vyasa. His mount
or standard is a rat, a symbol in Hindu fable of the
Sagasity and trickery of this world, much like the fox
in the west. So it is natural that the rat should
first be conquered, then subdued and employed by the
being who represents spiritual strength, whom he was
bound to recognize as his superior, since his own
cunning would tell gun that Ganesh would prove a
better guide than even his own perspicacity.
