Coming To Life
Ganesha is said to rise out of the waste of herbal paste rubbed off Parvati’s body to which she inadvertently gives anthropomorphic shape. Idol in hand, she wished it had life, and lo and behold, the idol transformed into a living child. This strange origin: not born of Parvati but produced by sharing her every inch - the body and the mind, and all playfully - shapes Ganesha’s basic character, not so much like a god but more like a human being. A product of playful mind, the innocent, plump Ganesha is ever full of zeal, energy and sportiveness. He enjoys dancing, plays the flute and musical instruments, engages in sports with his mount, a mouse.
Om Namah Shivay.
