The axe in Ganesha's hand:Ganesha is symbolic of the mechanism of called Competitive Blockade.

Competitive Blockade/ Vighna:

If two thoughts try to enter the conscious mind at precisely the same time it leads to abolition of all movements, emotions, feelings and thoughts. This results in false peace and false self-control.

The physiological bartering/ The secret of Ganesha's might:

If the blockade fails it results in exchange of emotions between the two thoughts. This enables us to barter a small force we have to execute a giant task for the mighty force of a socially undesirable activity. Thus, Ganesha enables us to execute mighty tasks with a small force, symbolized by a small rat carrying his giant body.

The objects in Ganesha's hands:

There are many things in Ganesha's hands. The important ones are,

1. Noose - symbolic of trapping of unwanted thoughts using Competitive blockade

2. Goad - symbolic of manipulation of blocking, either facilitation or abolition or exchange of emotions.

3. Axe - symbolic of unblocking of the blockade

4. Rosary - symbolic of timing

The removal of Vighnas/ Unblocking the blockade:

Ganesha is known to remove obstacles from desirable activities and also add obstacles in the path of undesirable activities.

Competitive blockade/ Vighna makes social interaction impossible. Therefore, it has to be unblocked whenever we have to interact with others.

Thus, the axe in Ganesha's hand is symbolic of unblocking of the blockade and thus enabling us to interact with others.
Lord Ganesha is the God who is known as Vignaharta. So to cut all the Vignas i.e., Hurdles Lord Ganesha holds the Axe...............
