Ganesha is the Hindu god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles. Before starting anything, one can say this prayer to Ganesha: "In what we are about to do, let wisdom be our guide". Ganesha's large head represents the wisdom of the elephant.
His large ears sift the bad from the good. His trunk is a symbol of his disc rimination.
He is associated with the primordial sacred sound OHM.
