GANESHA

Ganesha, the remover of obstacles was made to impede anybody wishing to encroach upon Parvati's own space. Parvati needed somebody whom she could adore, whom she could trust, somebody who might not bow to anybody and rather face them in case they meddle in Parvati's space. 

Ganesha is given domain over the Ganas, which is a general term meaning all classes of creatures, going from bugs, fauna, and people to the inconspicuous and divine creatures. These different creatures all add to the government of the Creation; everything from regular powers like storms and tremors to the basic characteristics like fire and water, to the working of the body's organs and cycles. If true devotees don't respect the Ganas, then, at that point, all our activities are a type of burglary, as it is unsanctioned. Along these lines, rather than appeasing each Gana to accept their favors, devotees would bow to their Lord, Sri Ganesha. By accepting His elegance, they get the finesse of all. He eliminates any likely obstructions and empowers our endeavors to succeed.
