The Psychological & Yogic Symbolism Behind Ganesha’s Birth Story

The Psychological & Yogic Symbolism Behind Ganesha’s Birth Story Mythology often carries deeper truths than literal events. The famous tale of Ganesha’s creation by Parvati, his beheading by Shiva, and his revival with the elephant head is not just a story—it is a profound psychological and yogic map of inner growth.

Let’s explore what Passive Aggression Disorder really is, why it happens, and — most importantly — how it can be healed.   What Is Passive Aggression Disorder? Some people experience intense anger but don’t show it outwardly. Instead of expressing it directly, they suppress  it. They smile, act pleasant, and pretend nothing’s wrong — while their resentment builds up quietly. But what happens to that bottled-up anger? Often, it sneaks out indirectly — through short, dry responses like “Yes.” “No.” “Whatever.”  or through sarcasm, avoidance, or passive resistance. Sometimes, they delay tasks intentionally or rely on others to conf...
