Making sense of Ganesh stories
In childhood years, many Hindu children nowadays are introduced to Hindu sacred stories through the medium of comic books, such as Amar Chitra Katha. These provide a colourful and entertaining rendering of ancient stories, and most kids read them with great enthusiasm, forming many people’s introduction to the world of Hinduism.
However, in most cases after you reach a certain age and develop a better sense of physical reality, some of the stories will seem quite unrealistic and far-fetched. In the absence of any understanding of the symbolism involved in such stories, our modern mentality would be inclined to view them merely as primitive relics from the past.

Have you ever wondered what god looks like? Do you imagine he looks like a girl? Does she have a human form? Why do want to see god as physical?
The power of hindu depictions of God is that we realize we are talking aobut something outside of the “normal” vision. Just as evil is multifaceted (the multiheaded Ravaana) so is goodness beyond a simple picture.
We use symbols to represent truth beyond the obvious. That is the power of Ganesha - in story, in posture, in creation,… This is not to say that the physical reality is not so. For the whole of this phsyical reality is the penultimate symbol for the Tat Sat. Aum being the ultimate. Then we are left with nirguna.
