Also called Ganapati, Ganesha is one of the most popular Hindu Gods. His name means Lord of the Ganas, who were dwarf followers of Shiva. Lord Ganesha represents the call to spiritual power ~ he has been prayed to, worshipped and adored in one form or another since time began, as it is said that time began with his creation. Ganesha's mother Parvati found him in her hand while wiping perspiration from her body after bathing. Indeed Ganesha was born with a corpulent body, said to contain within it all the matter of the universe.
At once Vishnu, God of Love, set forth to look for another head, and returned with the head of Indra's elephant Airavata. In his hand Ganesha wields a noose and goad, and he holds a bowl of sweets. Ganesha's four arms stand for his immense power in helping Humanity. Ganesh resides on the mental plane. Sounds like a useful God to have on your side! The beloved elephant-faced-Deity popularly known as Ganesha has intrigued thinking men all over the world, all through the ages even unto the present day.
The sacred texts give a variety of stories narrating the sequence of Ganesha's birth.

Ganesha became the Lord (Isha) of all existing beings (Gana) after winning a contest from his brother Kartikay. When given the task to race around the universe, Ganesha did not start the race like Kartikay did, but simply walked around Shiva and Parvati, both his father and mother as the source of all existence (more about this story here). Ganesha: Lord of Success - About the Hindu Elephant-Deity. Ganesha — the elephant-deity riding a mouse — has become one of the commonest mnemonics for anything associated with Hinduism.
