GANESA, or GANESH

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 451 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GANESA, or GANESH , in
Hindu
 
mythology
 , the god of wisdom and prudence, always represented with an elephant's head possibly to indicate his sagacity. He is the son of
Siva
  and Parvati. He is among the most popular of
Indian
  deities, and almost every act, religious or social, in a
Hindu
 's
life
  begins with an invocation to him, as do most books. He typifies not the wisdom of knowledge but that worldly wisdom which results in
financial
  success, and thus he is particularly the god of the Hindu shopkeeper. In his divine aspect
Ganesa
  is ruler over the hosts of
heaven
 , the
spirits
  which come and go to do
Indra
 's will.
