Ganesh - The elephant-headed mythological Indian God, represents the quality of removing obstacles. If you were to break a path through a thick dense jungle you'd want to have a massive elephant in front of you leading and clearing the way. So in a symbolic way, we chant the Ganesh Mantra and call in his name to evoke the archetypal qualities that lie within us. Specifically the qualities of strength, ingenuity, courage, creativity and tranquility that allow us to remove potential obstacles.
