- How can anyone with weird heads be gods?
- Why is there more than one god.
- The Hindu notion of divine is unique, it is not restricted to a single idea or deity.
- Each deity is a jigsaw puzzle, that comes together to make an overall God.
- The world is subjective, for each person there is a different "world"
- I think this is rather profound. If I could write a story about this, that would be really cool.
- Each world is different, but what matters more? The answer is everyone's world matters.
- stories, symbols and rituals communicate a myth
- Many things in life cannot be explained by logic
- Different cultures have different answers as to what happens after death
- maybe I can write about a story of different perspectives about death
- Ganesha's head
- implies power because the elephant is not prey to many
- the idea of Ganesha is reinforced by the story of his birth
- Parvati married shiva
- while bathing, Parvati molded a doll and created a child that was born without the help of a man
- He was beheaded
- Shiva gave the child the head of an elephant that was part of the land of immortality
- Ganesha represents the union of two opposites: Shiva and Parvati
