GANESHA FESTIVAL ( Vinayaka
Chathurthi)
Parvati, wife of Siva, created
Ganesha out of sandalwood paste that she used for her bath and breathed life
into the figure.( test tube Child) She then set him to stand guard at her door
while she bathed.
Lord Shiva, who had gone out,
returned and as Ganesha didn't know him, asked for ID card and didn't allow him
to enter. Lord Shiva became enraged by this and asked his follower Ganas
to teach the child some manners. Ganesha who was very powerful, being born of
Parvati, the embodiment of Shakti, defeated Shiva's followers and declared that nobody
was allowed to enter while his mother was bathing. The sage of heavens, Narada along
with the Saptarishis sensed the growing turmoil and went to appease the boy
with no results. Angered, the king of Gods, Indra attacked the boy with his
entire heavenly army but even they didn't stand a chance. By then, this issue
had become a matter of pride for Parvati and Shiva. Angry Shiva severed the
head of the child. Parvati seeing this became enraged. Seeing Parvati in anger
Shiva promised that her son will be alive again.
The devas searched for the head of dead person
facing North, but they found only the head of a dead elephant. They brought the
head of the elephant and Shiva fixed it on the child's body and brought him
back to life.( First head transplant) Lord Shiva also declared that from this
day the boy would be called Ganesha (Gana Isha : Lord of Ganas). Alternative job on a compromise package. He is
mainly specialized to remove starting trouble, Obstacle Averter.
