Symbolic elephant meaning deals primarily with strength, honor, stability and patience, among other attributes.

In Christian symbolism the elephant is an icon of temperance, patience, and chastity.

To the Hindu way of thought, the elephant is found in the form of Ganesha who is the god of luck, fortune, protection and is a blessing upon all new projects. Ganesha in all his magnificently vibrant elephant glory, is intent on bulldozing obstacles on your behalf.
