Extra Reading: Ganesha's Secret

Ganesha's Secret

The video explains the different components of Hinduism but focuses on the end on Ganesha. Ganesha is a key figure in Hinduism that stands for the union between two opposites. Ganesha came about after Poverty sculpted a child that came to life but Shiva didn't recognize the child as his own because he did not even want children. Shiva ended up beheading the child and Poverty expressed great grief so they attached an elephant head back on to bring the child back to life which brought about Ganesha.
