"Mythology is but the veiled Reality. Myths and legends form an integral part of the tale of human progress and advancement. The galaxy of Hindu gods and goddesses is so rich, varied and alive as to inspire awe and wonder...Ganesha, the god of wisdom, riches, strength, illumination and prudence is one of these deities. In fact he is more close to our heart than any other God...Ganesha is one of the best examples of reconciliation of opposites and unity in diversity. In harmony all opposites are reconciled and contradictions dissolved, which in its turn inspires confidence, peace and fearlessness. He occupies the first and foremost position in various creeds and their religious ceremonies. The Jains and Buddhists also invoke his blessings at the commencement of all their undertakings and endeavors."
