49. Lord Ganesha, Ganpati, Hindu Mythology, Hindu Religion And Traditions Tirthankaras. Of course, in hindu mythology elephants figure in many instances, beginning with Lord Indra, the king of the heavens. His http://www.indiaprofile.com/religion-culture/ganesha.htm

It is customary to invoke the pot bellied, elephant faced, Lord Ganesa, before making any beginning. The remover of obstacles, the destroyer of sorrow, Ganesha represents a syncretism of different traditions to form one composite deity. This series on the Hindu pantheon begins with him. If one were to go by antiquity or in order of seniority in the Hindu pantheon, Lord Ganesha would not qualify to be here, leading this series on Hindu Gods. For historians feel it was only around the fourth century AD that the concept of Ganesa came to stay preceded, as it were, by instances of elephant worship. Yet not reader, familiar with the Indian ethos, would be surprised for it is customary to pay obeisance to him before the commencement of anything, even if it is the worship of other deities. Why did he acquire this status and where does he belong in the Hindu pantheon? As I hail Ganesha and set out to tell his story, I let the heart lead, for he is one deity who is loved as much as he is revered. In his aspect as the sacred elephant, his genesis seems to stretch far back into antiquity. An approximate date that scholars bring to light is the late Indus period, (2550-2050 BC) when the elephant motif was used on coins. In the 3 rd So there is a school of thought which believes that Ganesa evolved from the Vedic fold. In the Vedas, the oldest dating to 1500-1000 BC, he is synonymous with some other Gods mentioned therein. But, equally, it is pointed out that the name Ganesa or Ganapati or Vinayaka, as he is variously called, does not figure in the Vedas. So the syncretic nature of this deity, for he seems to have taken attributes from different Hindu deities to emerge as one composite whole. So charming is Ganesa that the argument that he was conceived by early man who was overawed by the strength and power of the elephant seems a backward moving derivation! In many African societies the elephant is a common symbol as, in a desire to acquire the strength of the elephant, its worship began and soon he assumed the role of a guardian deity.

50. Indus Valley Civilization, Hindu Pantheon , Hindu Mythology According to hindu mythology, it is believed that the world is supported on eight pairs of elephants who are therefore called Lokpalas. http://www.indiaprofile.com/wildlife/elephant.htm

The Elephant Down the Ages Looks come with a premium.Even before the majestic jumbo was domesticated, it was revered by man as one of the most magnificent animals. So much so that very soon the Hindu pantheon had a God with an elephant face: the one god loved by all and propitiated before beginning any activity, or even the new day. Wars were fought form elephant backs, temples employed elephants for the deity to travel into the cities, rich men stated their status by maintaining elephants. And why not? From time immemorial, the elephant has come to symbolize strength, prosperity and wisdom. Biblical stories have been explained with the help of elephants, like in its habits is told the lesson of the Fall. It is said that the male elephant is uninterested in sex and only when the female elephant gives its male the aphrodisiac plant, does it respond. Similarly in Buddhist thought, the elephant is classified as tame or as wild. The wild one represents unpredictable, violent, irrational behaviour like the man possessed with desire. The tame one represents strength, stability, wisdom, moderation and compassion. That is why Queen Maya, mother of Siddhartha, who later became the Buddha, dreamt of a tame white elephant entering her body just before she conceived her child. When devotion is complete, superstition takes little time to build. Elephant hair worn as an amulet is said to ward off evil. Some families in Maharashtra have adopted the elephant as their

Chapter XXX Eastern Mythology Zoroaster Hindu Mythology Castes Buddha Grand Lama During the last fifty years new attention has been paid to the systems of religion of the Eastern world, especially to that of Zoroaster among the Persians, and that which is called Brahmanism and the rival system known as Buddhism in the nations farther east. Especial interest belongs to these inquiries for us, because these religions are religions of the great Aryan race to which we belong. The people among whom they were introduced all used some dialect of the family of language to which our own belongs. Even young readers will take an interest in such books as Clarke's Great Religions and Johnson's Oriental Religions, which are devoted to careful studies of them. Our knowledge of the religion of the ancient Persians is principally derived from the Zendavesta, or sacred books of that people. Zoroaster was the founder of their religion, or rather the reformer of the religion which preceded him. The time when he lived is doubtful, but it is certain that his system became the dominant religion of Western Asia from the time of Cyrus (550 B.C.) to the conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great. Under the Macedonian monarchy the doctrines of Zoroaster appear to have been considerably corrupted by the introduction of foreign opinions, but they afterwards recovered their ascendancy.

Sun - in Hindu Mythology By Anindita Basu H indu mythology, like Greek, includes many elaborate tales of the lives of the divine beings who are represented by the planets and luminaries of our solar system. In the Hindu tradition, of all planetary beings, the Sun is most important and worthy of praise. Sun is seen as generous and powerful, a sustainer of life and a destroyer of foes. In the words of an ancient hymn, “I worship the Sun, he of the lustre of a red hibiscus, Kashyap’s son, he of the greatest brightness, who dispels darkness, destroys all sins, and makes the day.” T he ancient Hindu scriptures known as the Puranas say that the Sun travels in a huge chariot that rises in the east and sets in the west and causes day and night. But he also makes first a northward and then a southward course in his travels over the year. The

focusIN Specialty Web Network HINDUISM The underlying tenets of Hinduism cannot be easily defined. There is no unique philosophy that forms the basis of the faith of the majority of India's population. Hinduism is perhaps the only religious tradition that is so diversified in its theoretical premises and practical expressions as to be called a "museum of religions". This religion cannot be traced to a specific founder nor does it have a "holy book" as a basic scriptural guide. The Rig Veda, Upanishads and the Bhagwad Gita can all be described as the sacred text of the Hindus. Unlike most other religions, Hinduism does not advocate the worship of one particular deity. One may worship Shiva or Vishnu or Rama or Krishna or some other gods and goddesses or one may believe in the 'Supreme Spirit' or the 'Indestructible Soul' within each individual and still be called a good Hindu. This gives an indication of the kind of contrasts this religion is marked by. At one end of the scale, it is an exploration of the 'Ultimate Reality'; at the other end there are cults that worship spirits, trees and animals.
