Ganesha is the most adorable Hindu deity
who is being loved by people of all age groups. He is prayed by all
strata of people, whether they belong to rich class or poor class.
Ganesha is not only the revered deity of Hindus, but he is even
worshipped by Jains and Buddhists.
According to Hindu Mythology, Ganesha is depicted as the deity with elephant big head, large ears, small mouth, small eyes, large stomach and large trunk holding sweet (Modak). Ganesha has mouse as his vehicle.
Ganesha's large elephant head signifies that we all must think beyond the materialistic goals and always progress on the path to achieve the sprtualistic goals.
Ganesha’s large ears, small mouth, small eyes symbolize that one must listen more, speak less and concentrate on its work.
The large stomach of Ganesha teaches that one must have the habit of peacefully digesting all the good and bad in life.
The Modak Ganesha holds in his trunk indicates that we must try to discover the sweetness of the soul.
The snake that runs round his waist represents that then we all are blessed with the energy that we can achieve anything in life, however we have to keep complete faith in our abilities.
Ganesha has chosen mouse as his vehicle to indicate that one must be humble to give respect to all the living beings including small creature like a mouse.
Ganesha is the form of the cosmic energy that can be encapsulated in a magnificent form, for the benefit of the devotees.
According to Hindu mythology, Ganesha was not born by natural process. There is a very interesting story of his birth.
Once Goddess Parvati was preparing for a bath in her abode at Mt. Kailasha. She smeared her body with turmeric paste. After some time she peeled off the layer of turmeric paste from her body and gave it the shape of the boy. Thereafter, she breathed life into it. She declared that boy as her loyal son. Goddess Parvati asked the boy to be on the guard duty at the entrance of their abode. Goddess Parvati instructed her son that he would not allow anyone to enter inside.
After some time, Shiva returned to his abode where Ganesha was standing and obstructed his way. Shiva did not recognize the young boy and in his divine fury, he chopped off the Ganesha’s head and entered inside.
Goddess Parvati was shocked when she saw this. She explained to Shiva that the boy was their son and pleaded with Shiva to save him at all costs.
Shiva then instructed his helpers to search someone who was sleeping with the head pointing towards north. The helpers then got the head of an elephant, which
Shiva affixed to the boy's body and gave him the name Ganesha.
According to Genesha Purana and Mudgala Purana, Ganeha had assumed eight different incarnations such as Vakratunda, Ekadanta, Mahodara, Gajanana, Lambhodara, Vikata, Vighnaraja and Dhoomravarna... Read More
