Also I want to put another thing. I had put in some other post being Maya worshipping Lord Ganesha and its significance. I had put it in another post. But want to elaborate on it a little bit.

Yesterday Maya told, people say Maya is heartless, but Maya has a heart. I felt it to be a big irony she telling that after what she did to Ayan. I was checking in story somewhere have they shown Maya's heart.
Reason Maya attacks Ayan based on what he tells her that she is mad and he proves him right. Look at Ganesha. His head is that of an animal, body that of a human. in other words his head is that of animal, but heart is that of human. How does he get the animal head. Because of his father Shiva. Parvati creates Ganesha a perfect human and asks him to guard her. Ganesha stops Shiva and Shiva not knowing the boy is his son cuts the boy's head. Parvati cries and finally Shiva gets an animal head for Ganesha.
That animal head represents ego or the thoughts that binds you. Thoughts that are used to manipulate you. From childhood Ashwin had manipulated Maya in such a way that she behaves only in certain fashion. She reacts in certain fashion. He has captured her mind in such a way that she destroys herself with her animalistic actions.
If you look at terrorists it is said that from childhood they are indoctorined. They are not humans, but robots who are asked to think and act in certain way. If you have read about Ajmal Kasab, his behaviour it is told that he has expression less eyes. Or rather they do not have independent thought, their thoughts are captured by those who indoctrinated them.
I dont know if anyone of you have read pamphlets that are sometimes distributed in trains or in public buses which talks about hell, the grothique punishments if you dont follow certain faith. Or those types of forwards, emails, messages that tell if you dont send it to 10 ppl-15 ppl misfortune will come to you. I call myself a balanced person but sometimes those pamphlets have affected me also, sending some kind of fear, but then my learning has helped to me overcome those fears and I dont forward any of those stupid emails that tell great mis fortune is coming my way.
But that may not be the case with young people who are not completely groomed, who have problems at home and in general are vulnerable. These pamphlets, messages capture their thoughts and make them behave in a way they want them to behave.
I hope many of you know about the disappearance of 22 people from Kerala who it is assumed that has gone to Afghanistan to fight with ISIS. News report that came about these people also talk about their behaviour as robots living in a world of their truth.
In nutshell what I want to tell is that the head of animal represents your chained thoughts which allows you to move only the way the chain allows you.
But Ganesha has a heart, heart of a human. Maya is also not a robot. All said and done Maya had fought to broke those chains. Maya had used her heart. In the story there is a visual proof of bad and mad Maya's heart. Yes Maya's head is that of animal which her father have fixed, but her heart is that of human whose existence she is not reckoning.
Head destroys, heart nurtures, ego destroys, love creates. In the story of Ganesha lies the story of Maya too. In the mytho story of Ganesha lies the story of Maya's baby also. Maya's love also, Maya's heart also. The baby only Maya can save. Search Maya's baby, proof of Maya's heart, I guess the answers are theređ.
