I was created from a battle of egos – between a God and Goddess who became my parents. I was gifted with the strength to take on supreme powers of the universe – the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer. Yet, it was a sleight of hand that killed me.
I was restored to life by the three Supremos, with a different name and identity. They installed a head on me, which swore loyalty. I do not know when I became a God. Every new initiative needs to be blessed by me. I am pampered in the festive season, when the game is being watched by higher-ups, and the winners are to be crowned. People worship me, because they know the Supremos have my back.
The mythological tale has been played and replayed in politics, corporates and business for aeons, with all its nuances and their convenient interpretations.

Based on the mythological tale on how Lord Ganesha was created.
Is this the true mythical tale on how this God was created? Wonderful story! As I was reading I wondered if this is the true myth of this God.

Yes. It is. Here’s a link if it interests you. https://www.ancient.eu/Ganesha/. Another version is that Shiva ordered the head of a mother, who was sleeping with her back to her child. They found only an elephant. Perhaps, the sleeping positions are different owing to their physical structure.
