The

mouse is the vehicle of Lord Vinayaka. What is the inner significance

of the mouse? The mouse is attracted by smell and is considered as the

embodiment of the sense of smell. The mouse is a symbol of attachment

to 'Vasana', which means both smell and worldly tendencies. It is well

known that if you want to catch a mouse, you place a strong-smelling

bait inside the mouse-trap. The mouse also symbolises the darkness of

night. The mouse can see well in the dark and moves about freely in the

night. As Vinayaka's vehicle, the mouse signifies an object that leads

man from darkness to light. Thus, the Vinayaka-principle signifies that

which removes bad thoughts, bad habits and inculcates good thoughts and

good conduct in people.
