We all some time forget that What is truth ??? And Why does in Hindu Ritual These kinds of Mythology ...very expressive and very difficult to understand is there...If some one understand Science well then he can connect easily everything. We know that this world is regulated by GOD And as well we know we are ruled by GOD and we are ruled by Good Path.. Then Why do we sometime doubt about the story there is. because we forget that these all are symbolic. Signified .. everything related is to " Be & It Is " Exactly like that why we doubt on that why Mahadev Beheaded Ganpati, while he is trikal darshi, here also we have know the truth and symbolic thing. we have to find it out. may be there would be any reason of this. any thing to this world .. any thing to signify to the world...

Ganpati - Symbols We See ( I know every one would be known to this.. but just posted it )

Ganesh is a highly symbolic deity for Hindus.
The head of Ganesh represents the Atman (the soul or ultimate reality),
while his body signifies the world and earthly realm of human beings.
The elephant trunk had the symbol of OM on it, which is the primal sound and symbol of the Universal reality. I
n his upper right hand Ganesh holds a goad, which helps him propel mankind forward on the eternal path and remove obstacles from the way.
The noose in Ganesh's left hand is a gentle implement to capture all difficulties.
The broken tusk that Ganesh holds like a pen in his lower right hand is a symbol of sacrifice,
which he broke for writing the Mahabharata.
The rosary in his other hand suggests that the pursuit of knowledge should be continuous.
The laddoo (sweet) he holds in his trunk indicates that one must discover the sweetness of the Atman.
His fan-like ears convey that he is all ears to our petition.
The snake that runs round his waist represents energy in all forms.
And he is humble enough to ride the lowest of creatures, a mouse.
