BRAHMAN:
Brahman is the Hindu god of ideal life and opposes deterioration of our ideal life. It is the god that unites all of our activities, all Hindu gods and all Hindus.
Brahman is made of seven gods.
They are,
1. Indra - god of dreaming
2. Shakti - god of illusion
3. Brahma - god of creativity
4. Vishnu - god of stabilization
5. Shiva - god of determination
6. Shani - god of status alteration
7. Yama - god of compulsion
GANESHA:
According to Hindu Mythology Ganesha is the son of Shiva and Parvati. He is the adder or remover of obstacles. He enables us to convert the mighty force of unwanted actions into Shiva force.
Shiva force is selected for this purpose because
1. The negative gods Indra, Shakti, Brahma are unsuitable for a bankrupt man
2. Status quo maintaining Vishnu too is unsuitable
3. Shani and Yama are too difficult to control.
Ganesha's vehicles is a rat, which symbolizes the fact that he can enable us to execute a mighty task with a very small force.
According to Brahmajnana, Ganesha enables us to convert any force into any other force. not necessarily into Shiva force. This means that Ganesha is not a son of Shiva.
BRAHMAN AND GANESHA:
Brahman, through Ganesha, can convert/ transform/ divert any force into any other force. This is necessary because Brahman has to ensure that all the gods contribute equally to our well fare. If one gods contribution is less Brahman, through Ganesha, equates the contribution of the two gods.
Brahman doesn't make Ganesha add obstacles.

What do all Hindu gods represent?
All Hindu gods represent two basic forces1. Saguna Brahman - the facilitating force that converts thoughts into actions2. Nirguna Brahman - the retarding force that converts actions into thoughts and even abolishes thoughts. It gives control over Saguna Brahman.Saguna Brahman causes isometric contraction or hardening of our skeletal muscular system and Nirguna Brahman causes isometric relaxation of our skeletal muscular system.It is the shifting of the Saguna Brahman on the mid line of our skeletal muscular system that makes Brahman manifest as different gods.I. Indra (god of dreaming) - Saguna Brahman (Isometric contraction) towards feet2. Shakti (god of illusion) - towards knees3. Brahma (god of creativity) - hip4. Vishnu (god of stabilization) -abdomen5. Shiva (god of determination) - Chest6. Shani (god of status alteration) - Neck and shoulders7. Yama (god of compulsion) - HeadThus, shifting of Saguna Brahman upwards retards thinking and favors action.Shifting of Nirguna Brahman downwards favors thinking and abolishes actions.Thus, all Hindu gods, without exception, represent forces that cause isometric contraction and relaxation (hardening and softening) of our skeletal muscular system.Hindu goddesses represent isometric relaxation.

Why you immerse Lord Ganesha on Ganesha Chaturthi?
Vinayaka Chaturthi or Ganesha Chaturthi celebrations end with the immersion or Visarjan of clay Ganapati idol in water. Hindus worship Brahman or the Supreme Soul present in all animate and inanimate. But for majority of the people it is not possible to worship this formlessness. They need a form to pray to, to seek help, to cry and to take blessings. Ganesha is 'OM' the primordial sound or the first 'Vaak.' Nirguna Para Brahman takes the form of Ganesha.Clay and water is mixed to give form to the formlessness. Each person brings Ganesha in clay idol form into the home. This is the Supreme Being arriving at home. After the celebrations, it is time to accept the eternal cosmic law that which took form has to become formless again. It is a never ending cycle (Chakra).The formlessness giving way to form and then moving again towards formlessness. Each year Ganesha arrives to teach us that forms change but the Supreme Truth remains the same. Body perishes but Brahman residing in it remains constant. This body becomes energy for another but the source of energy is the same. Bliss is achieved when we realize this.The act also symbolizes the concept of Moksha, or liberation, in Hinduism.Osho says - 'Absolute un-clinging. That is what is meant by Moksha - freedom - no clinging, not even to gods.' Thus we create Ganesha out of clay, worship it and later it is submerged (Visarjan).More info on immersion of Ganesha in water:Ganesha is the Hindu god who enables us to divert the power of unwanted thoughts into the task at hand. This transfer of power meant for one action into another action is symbolized by Ganesha having the body of a human being and the head of an elephant.The unwanted thoughts find no outlet and therefore, get stored in some unwanted part of our mind. The accumulation of unwanted thoughts is symbolized by the protruding abdomen of Ganesha.We can't wish away these unwanted thoughts. The best part of our mind into which these unwanted thoughts can be dumped into is the central seventh of our mind, which Vishnu symbolizes.Vishnu makes our life flexible and therefore he is symbolized by water. He is the preserver and therefore, he is the most reliable Hindu god.Therefore, once in any year, during Ganesha festival, we symbolically discard unwanted thoughts that accumulate due to worship of Ganesha into Vishnu, by immersing a clay idol of Ganesha in water, in a lake, river or sea.The best day to immerse Ganesha clay idol is on the tenth day i.e. Anantha chaturdashi, when Vishnu would be most receptive.
