| | Ganapatyas |
 | | Ganapati is the elephant-headed son of Shiva and Parvati. | | | Ganapati stands for one of the basic Hindu concepts, the identity of the macrocosm and the microcosm, the doctrine that man is the image of God. | | | As the god who overcomes obstacles Ganapati is worshipped by most Hindus (and even by Buddhists, as in Sri Lanka) together with other gods. |

| | Ganesh Chaturthi |
| | Ganapati is the Lord of Vijnaana and Prajnaana (worldly knowledge and spiritual wisdom). | | | Ganapati is the Lord of the intellect and the higher knowledge. | | | Ganapati, who presides over the (ten) senses (five senses of perception and five senses of action), should be your guide in acquiring mastery over the senses. |

| | Thus Ganapati holds out the incentive and enticement of “giving one what one wants, so that ultimately, one will want what he has to give.” The modaka is a symbol of ananda (bliss), of the joys of spiritual practice that Ganesa gives to his devotees. | | | Even so does the human being shun the light of divinity and roam the world in the darkness of ignorance unless and until he or she has the proximity or presence of the Divine. | | | The sage cursed him to be a mouse and when he pleaded mercy, the curse was altered so that he would meet Ganesa in Parasara’s asrama and would become his steed thus becoming worthy of worship even by the Gods. |

| | Parashurama, the son of Sage Jamadagni became a disciple of Lord Shiva and a co-student of Ganapati. | | | In Swamiji's life, Ganapati has played the role of a director, guiding in his activities.1 Although in the present incarnation, Swamiji's mother was the initiator in Yoga, she had to leave the body before she could give Mantra deeksha. | | | Ganapati Atharva Sheersha Upanishad first narrates about Nirguna form of worship and then about the Saguna form of worship. |

| | Notwithstanding its politicization, the Ganapati festival is an extraordinary testimony to the public place of religion in Indian life, the liveliness of Indian communities, the splendors of street life, the strength of popular artistic and artisan traditions, and the glorious malleability of one beloved Indian deity. | | | Thus, once again, in the Ganapati festival the interests of the nation-state are conjoined with patriotism as well as devotion to the deity. | | | The festival is observed for ten days, and immersions of the deity are carried out over the last twenty-four hours of the festival, and the honor of the last immersions, when immense crowds are gathered, falls to the most well-known or affluent communities. |
