Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 For a Hindu Gods and Demons are all symbolism. Devas or GOD means those thought process which are clear and healthy for good cognitive development whereas demnon means those thought procees that obscure clear thinking. IN otherwords, confusion, indecision, fickleness, meanness, lack of sympathy, ego etc etc., are considered as demons. Now, coming to Ganesha. How can a human body will have elephant face and on top sit on a mouse. THIS IS TOTALLY ILLOGICAL But, if you see Ganesha symbolically, Ganesha may look like an ordinary human being but he has the strength of an elephant. Like a small mouse who can penetrate even tiny holes- in the same way Ganesha can penetrate all obstacles and remove them. In short with his massive strength he can penetrate any obstracles and remove them for the welfare of his devotees.l > >Hi all, > > I am glad this subject came to the list. > > Myself I have some statues, and not all attributes of the gods and >goddesses are clear to me.
