To know whether Muruga or Ganesha is stronger we must know the seven basic Hindu gods.
THE SEVEN BASIC HINDU GODS
They are,
1. Indra - god of dreaming - father - in - law of Muruga
2. Shakti - god of illusion
3. Brahma - god of creativity
4. Vishnu - god of stabilization
5. Shiva - god of determination - father of Muruga and Ganesha
6. Shani - god of status increase
7. Yama - god of compulsion.
GANESHA - THE HINDU GOD OF OBSTACLES:
Ganesha is also known as Vighneshwara or master of obstacles. He adds or removes obstacles in the path of our activities. Like Muruga, he is the son of Shiva. Ganesha can barter power between activities. Thus, he can enable us to execute mighty tasks with a small force.
Ganesha finds mention in the fourth century and thus very new compared to Muruga.
MURUGA - THE OMNIPOTENT GOD
In marked contrast to Ganesha, the power of Muruga extends even beyond that of the seven basic gods.
1. Muruga is married to Devasena, the daughter of Indra.
2. With many pairs of arms, he is a Shakti god.
3. With six heads, he is creative, like Brahma.
4. Being son of Shiva, he gets his power also.
5. Being born in Sara Vana, near the Ganges, he enables us to take advantage of our materialistic knowledge also.
He has mention in Tamil literature dated BCE, in Atharva Veda, Maha Bharatha, Artha Shastra, Kumarasambhavam and in the works of Patanjali.
He is popular in south India, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Malaysia and Singapore.
While Muruga can be worshipped as the only god, Ganesha can be worshipped just as the first god.
Thus, in all respects, Muruga is more powerful than Ganesha.
