"Ganesha — the elephant-deity riding a mouse — has become one of the commonest mnemonics for anything associated with Hinduism. This not only suggests the importance of Ganesha, but also shows how popular and pervasive this deity is in the minds of the masses.
1)The Lord of Success
The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha has an elephantine countenance with a curved trunk and big ears, and a huge pot-bellied body of a human being. He is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth. In fact, Ganesha is one of the five prime Hindu deities (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Durga being the other four) whose idolatry is glorified as the panchayatana puja.

2)Ganesh Chaturthi
The devotees of Ganesha are known as 'Ganapatyas', and the festival to celebrate and glorify him is called Ganesh Chaturthi.

3)Significance of the Ganesha Form
Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul, which is the ultimate supreme reality of human existence, and his human body signifies Maya or the earthly existence of human beings. The elephant head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents Om, the sound symbol of cosmic reality. In his upper right hand Ganesha holds a goad, which helps him propel mankind forward on the eternal path and remove obstacles from the way. The noose in Ganesha's left hand is a gentle implement to capture all difficulties.

The broken tusk that Ganesha 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.

4)How Ganesha Got His Head
The story of the birth of this zoomorphic deity, as depicted in the Shiva Purana, goes like this: Once goddess Parvati, while bathing, created a boy out of the dirt of her body and assigned him the task of guarding the entrance to her bathroom. When Shiva, her husband returned, he was surprised to find a stranger denying him access, and struck off the boy's head in rage. Parvati broke down in utter grief and to soothe her, Shiva sent out his squad (gana) to fetch the head of any sleeping being who was facing the north. The company found a sleeping elephant and brought back its severed head, which was then attached to the body of the boy. Shiva restored its life and made him the leader (pati) of his troops. Hence his name 'Ganapati'. Shiva also bestowed a boon that people would worship him and invoke his name before undertaking any venture.

However, there's another less popular story of his origin, found in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana: Shiva asked Parvati to observe the punyaka vrata for a year to appease Vishnu in order to have a son. When a son was born to her, all the gods and goddesses assembled to rejoice on its birth. Lord Shani, the son of Surya (Sun-God), was also present but he refused to look at the infant. Perturbed at this behaviour, Parvati asked him the reason, and Shani replied that his looking at baby would harm the newborn. However, on Parvati's insistence when Shani eyed the baby, the child's head was severed instantly. All the gods started to bemoan, whereupon Vishnu hurried to the bank of river Pushpabhadra and brought back the head of a young elephant, and joined it to the baby's body, thus reviving it.

5)Ganesha, the Destroyer of Pride
Ganesha is also the destroyer of vanity, selfishness and pride. He is the personification of material universe in all its various magnificent manifestations. "All Hindus worship Ganesha regardless of their sectarian belief," says D N Singh in A Study of Hinduism. "He is both the beginning of the religion and the meeting ground for all Hindus."

Yes, i bought it already,the last one,a 1st.Edition,BUT it's USEFUL to know about the FIRST EDITIONS so you CAN IDENTIFY them: "First edition Harry Potter books have become very valuable. Here is how you can tell if you have an original and what it may be worth:
Identifying a first edition Harry Potter book:
1)The first Harry Potter book to be published was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone." Bloomsbury Publishing first printed the book in 1997. A true first edition can be identified using a printing number, which can be found at the very beginning of the book. Bloomsbury Publishing use a reverse number system to identify when a book was printed. If the number ends with one ( for example 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1) you may have a first edition.

2)First edition "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone" books with laminated pictorial boards that are not bound in cloth and feature a shiny cover are very valuable, as only 500 of these books were printed

3)What effects the value of a first edition?
The value of a first edition depends on a number of factors, including:
-Is the book a hardback? Hardback editions are more valuable than paperback editions
-What condition is the book in? The higher the condition of the book the more it will be worth
-Which book is it? Earlier Harry Potter books are more valuable than later books, so a first edition "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone" will be more valuable than a first edition "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"
Is it signed? If you have a first edition signed by J. K. Rowling the value of the book can be more than three times higher than an unsigned book!

4)How much is a first edition worth?
The prices listed below are a rough guide only and should not be taken as a price list for Harry Potter first editions! Only an expert can truly identify the value of a Harry Potter first edition. If you think you have a first edition contact a well-known auction house, such as Sotheby's or Christie's.

5)An unsigned first edition copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone" may be worth between £3,000 and £4,000. A signed copy may be as much as £10,000. One of the first edition "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone" hardbacks was sold for £10,575 at a Sotheby's auction in early 2002
An unsigned first edition copy of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" may be worth between £400 and £600. A signed copy may be worth £1,500
An unsigned first edition copy of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" may be worth £1000. A signed copy may be worth between £2,000 and £3,000. Note: This book will only be worth this amount if it contains a printing error in the first chapter, where a line was mistakenly placed between "burnt" and "so much" in the extract from "A History of Magic"
First editions of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" are not particularly valuable because so many were printed
An unsigned deluxe edition set of the first four books may be worth £1,000 with a signed set worth between £2,000 and £3,000.

:D Well maybe you have one and you can make a good money with it I'l check mines,each one of them oh yeah LOL, but i don't have yet no one signed
Anyway it's always good to be aware about this, isn't it?
