I find most interesting that, unlike other Gods or Goddesses, Ganesha is non-operative, and is the only God that accomplishes all errands by presence and not by action. He himself is the manifest cosmos, where duality dissolves-again, by mere presence. His own story reflects this, as he was born out of the desire of Uma (or Parvati, the Goddess of Creation and Lord Shiva’s wife) for a constant companionship, without any help from her husband. This is why Ganesha is known as his mother’s son, or Uma-sutam.
As tradition has it, Lord Shiva was often away and Parvati was frequently occupied by thoughts of a son who could relieve her of her loneliness. One day, while bathing, she was absorbed in thoughts of this nature and inadvertently molded the herbal paste she was using to wash her body with, into a small manly figure. As soon as Parvati wished it had life, the idol transformed into a living child. And so she gave birth to Ganesha, out of her intense desire, by sharing every inch of herself with nature (the herbs with which the paste was made and with which she had rubbed her whole body).
The Goddess asked her child to guard her door and ward off any intruders or interruptions while she finished bathing, so when lord Shiva returned home, he found a stranger at his wife’s door. Honoring his mother’s wishes, Ganesha refused to let him in, and Shiva unleashed his fury by chopping his head off. When Parvati came out and saw what had happened, she was deeply hurt and demanded to have her son’s head replaced!
Shiva ordered his attendants to bring him the first living being they saw to replace the boy’s head, and since the first thing they found was an elephant, the boy’s body was brought back to life with an elephant’s head (this is why he is also known as Gajanana, or the “elephant-headed one”). Lord Shiva then put his ganas, or unruly elements of the cosmos, under the command of this twice-born God, and named him Ganesha (Lord of the ganas).

Now, curving obstructions or detrimental forces was Ganesha’s inherent nature, since he was Parvati’s son (born of her alone) and in charge of warding off evil, obstacles, and obstructions to her desires even before Lord Shiva played a part in the story; this is why all the other Gods honor Ganesha before any action or impulse to restore balance in the Universe. Ganesha stands at the threshold between desire and reality, and it is by his mere presence that things are allowed to happen without hindrance or obstacle. In this sense, he represents our own feminine nature: that of allowing.
