Gopal,

You ahve done a dis-service to Nevedita. If what you have quoted are the highlights of the book, they are totally rubbish and points to the venture into an are by Nevedita about which she has no clue. Thje gensha , parvathi and the whole lot are from the mahabharat, a much later stories when compared to teh vedas and the upanishands. Ganesh cannot predate mahabharat
