Ganesha, Lord of Obstacles and Knowledge

GANESHA
Problems with math got your down?
As the Lord of Obstacles, Ganesha is a gatekeeper. He is also the Lord of Knowledge (hmmm, wonder how little Dumbo got his name) and numbers, and is credited with having developed the alphabet.

By the way, just like Dumbo's best friend was Timothy mouse, Ganesha's companion and vehicle is a mouse.

Alot of info on Ganesha at one place, right here.
Great pictures of Ganesha, as well as some of his compatriots.
