<P> (O Lord Ganapati!) You are (the Trimurti) Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesa . You are Indra . You are fire (Agni) and air (Vāyu). You are the sun (Sūrya) and the moon (Chandrama). You are Brahman . You are (the three worlds) Bhuloka (earth), Antariksha - loka (space), and Swargaloka (heaven). You are Om . (That is to say, You are all this). </P> <P> Some devotees see similarities between the shape of Ganesha's body in iconography and the shape of Aum in the Devanāgarī and Tamil scripts . </P> <P> According to Kundalini yoga, Ganesha resides in the first chakra, called Muladhara (mūlādhāra). Mula means "original, main"; adhara means "base, foundation". The muladhara chakra is the principle on which the manifestation or outward expansion of primordial Divine Force rests . This association is also attested to in the Ganapati Atharvashirsa . Courtright translates this passage as follows: "You continually dwell in the sacral plexus at the base of the spine (mūlādhāra cakra)." Thus, Ganesha has a permanent abode in every being at the Muladhara . Ganesha holds, supports and guides all other chakras, thereby "governing the forces that propel the wheel of life". </P> <P> Though Ganesha is popularly held to be the son of Shiva and Parvati, the Puranic myths give different versions about his birth . In some he was created by Parvati, in another he was created by Shiva and Parvati, in another he appeared mysteriously and was discovered by Shiva and Parvati or he was born from the elephant headed goddess Malini after she drank Parvati's bath water that had been thrown in the river . </P>
