The Power Within

Lord Ganesha has an elephant head, gigantic and heavy, and at his feet a petty and tiny mouse. The mouse is the vehicle of Lord Ganesha. The tiny mouse carries the heavy elephant-headed Lord Ganesha. Looking esoteric … isn`t it? Why lord Ganesha chose a mouse as his mount…? What it indicates…? What is its symbolism…? What the message and knowledge this esoteric story wants to convey…? Let us try to understand its logic, science, and psychology. According to a legend - the mouse which is the mount of Lord Ganesha was a very powerful demon named Krauncha. He was disrupting everyone and everything with his power.  He had become unbridled. Everyone had ceded before his power and atrocity. Day by day his destructive power was increasing. He tried to disrupt lord Ganesha also. A big fight took between that demon and Lord Ganesha. Eventually, lord Ganesha defeated and controlled that demon.

He took that little fish in his cupped palm and put that in a jar. The fish grew and the jar became insufficient for it. Then, he put that fish in a pond.

The human requires at least 18 months for becoming a fully developed fetus. Human fetus cannot face the nature just after coming out from the womb of the mother. Other creatures get their required immune and maturity inside the womb of their mother to face the nature. When the animals slip out from their mother`s womb, within one or two hours they start walking or crawling according to their nature. But, this is not true for a human fetus. They need at least 9 months extra care and cradle after coming out from the womb of the mother to attain the required immune and maturity to face the nature. The kids of other animals can survive even no one cares for them after coming out of the womb. But, this is not the case with the human. Human kids will die shortly if they can be left unattended from their birth. Human ...
