Symbolism behind Ganapathy

The Rishies who indulged in Divine Symbolism depicted the Macrocosm - Microcosm Relationship as an Elephant headed human form, the Elephant symbolising the Macrocosm and Man, the Microcosm. This is the Symbolism behind Ganesh !

Shakespeare says " Little Man's world ", depicting Man as Microcosm, in which he copies the structure of the great Universe. All esoteric literature points out that Man is the Microcosm and the Universal ( Energy, Matter, Mind or Being ), the Macrocosm ! They are known in Vedanta Sastra as Anu and Brihat, Pindanda and Brahmanda, Vyashti and Samashti.
