Why is Ganesha equated with the primordial sound pranava (OM)?
Because Ganesha represents the knowledge prana, the vital breath. Out of the pranava, the product of prana, the vocal language develops, after passing through four stages - para, pashyanti, madhyama and vaikhari. Para is the source and the subtlest stage, while vaikhari is the grossest, representing the bursting out of vocal language. The state prior to para is "Love to be", the sense of love, which gives rise to all activities. That state is Ganesha.
