Best Answer

1. The mouse or rat represents ignorance. Ganesha riding atop the rat represents control over ignorance, or transcendence of ignorance.

2. Ganesha is the Remover of Obstacles, and this is not only represented by his association with the powerful elephant, but also with the cunning mouse who can fit through small holes.

3. Ganesha diverts power of unwanted activities into our task at hand. Thus, he enables us to execute mighty tasks with a very small force.

The small mouse carrying mighty Ganesha symbolizes the fact that he enables us to execute a mighty task with a small force.
