Elephant
form of Ganesh indicates uncontrollable strength. The ‘Angusam’, used to
control an elephant, in his hand indicates that he is self-controlled. Both
these aspects are the hall mark of a great leader. That is why he is called Vi-Nayak
meaning there is no leader like him.
Grass in
his hands – the first thing to appear from earth, and Yarukku that flowers in Ash
- the last form of anything, indicates that Ganesh means the beginning and end
of the world.
He was
created out of the dirt from Parvati is okay to be told to children, but the deeper
meaning points to the origin (Big Bang) of this world from matter (dirt) and
energy (Parvati)
