Why is Ganesh called the Lord of intellect, higher knowledge, wisdom and prosperity?
There story begins with a contest between Lord Ganesha and his brother, Kartikeya. Kartikeya was very proud of his mount, the peacock, and his own speed and efficiency. He challenged Lord Ganesha to a race which would involve encircling the world three times. They both assembled before Lord Shiva, the lord signaled to indicate that the race had begun. Kartikeya immediately climbed atop his peacock and left to circle the whole world. Ganpati just smiled. He encircled Lord Shiva and Godess Parvati thrice. When Kartikeya came back to Mount Kailash, he was very surprised to find Ganpati there. Ganpati told him that ones parents are one’s own world and encircling them means encircling the world. He had thus won the race.
