The birth story of Shri Ganesha is also wonderful and supernatural like him. He was not born from the womb of his mother (Parvati) like other gods, but was created by Mother Parvati from the filth of her body. Shri Ganesha was not born as a newborn, but was born as a child.

When Shri Ganesha was born, his head was not like a yard, but was normal like that of a god. Immediately after giving birth (creation), mother Parvati goes to bathe, and orders son Ganesha that no one should enter inside. Shri Ganesh, who was an exclusive devotee of his mother, had only seen his mother till now.

To obey his mother's orders, he stood guard at the entrance of the mother's palace. In the meantime, Father Mahadev came and started going inside. Since both father and son were ignorant of each other. He became very angry when Ganesh stopped him outside.

Mahadev explained a lot that he is the lord of Mother Parvati, but the child Ganesha did not listen and in anger, Mahadev cut off the head of Bal Ganesha. What was it now, as Mother Parvati came out after taking a bath, saw her child beheaded. She became very distraught with anger and sorrow.

He asked Mahadev to revive his child, because that child was only following the orders of his mother. Then Shri Hari Vishnu brought a Gaja head and gave it to Mahadev and Mahadev revived the child Ganesha by putting Gajasir. Seeing such unwavering devotion towards his mother, all the gods and goddesses including Mahadev blessed Gauriputra. And at the same time, Father Mahadev blessed him to be the first-worshipper.

Lord Ganesha is the second son of Shiva and Parvati. He has Gaja (elephant) head and Lambodar (big belly). He is the god who is worshiped before any other deity, even before the worship of Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu. He is the god of progress and knowledge.

Physical structure

The physical structure of Shri Ganesh is most different and attractive. His form has symbolic meaning which teaches us a lot and also tells about him.

  • In one hand he holds Ankush, which means to awaken, and in the other is Pasha, which means control. This means that it is very important to have control with awareness.

The great festival of Ganesh Chaturthi (Vinayaka Chaturthi)

This festival is celebrated with great pomp in the month of August or September all over India to commemorate the birthday of the first-worshipped Shri Ganesh. But most of the smog is seen in Maharashtra. On this day people bring the idol of Shri Ganesh to their respective homes, perform a lot of worship for ten days, and on the eleventh day the idol of Bappa is immersed in the river etc.

Why does this festival go on for ten days?

For ten days this festival is not celebrated just like that. There is a solid reason behind this too. It is said that, once Lord Ganesha felt like listening to the story of Mahabharata from the mouth of Ved Vyas. Ved Vyas, respecting his order, started telling him the story of Mahabharata with full gusto. Ten days passed while listening to the story and Lord Ganesha also got lost in it while listening to the story, when the story ended and Ganesh ji opened his eyes, his body was burning a lot. On the eleventh day, Ved Vyas ji immediately gave him a bath, which reduced his body temperature. On the eleventh day (Anant Chaturdashi), his idol is immersed for this reason.

introduction

Lord Ganesha holds a very important place in Hinduism. He is usually worshiped as the remover of obstacles. All those people, who wish to fulfill their ambitions and are grateful, are advised to worship him.

Any religious activity begins with the worship of Lord Ganesha. He is the most favorite among all the gods. His wives are Riddhi and Siddhi. It is said that Ganesha was the creation of Goddess Parvati.

How Lord Shri Ganesh became the first worship

Once Shri Ganesh got the status of being the first worshipped, then all the gods got angry. All the angry gods went to Lord Vishnu. And Lord Vishnu brought everyone to Mahadev, the god of gods. Taking out the middle path, Mahadev said that whoever comes first after circumambulating the entire universe, he will be declared the first worshipper.

All the deities including Kumar Kartikeya, Devraj went to circumambulate the whole universe. Mother Parvati became very upset that how her son would be able to travel around the whole universe by climbing on a small mouse.

All the gods were convinced that Ganesha would never win. Lord Shri Ganesh himself, the God of wisdom and knowledge, asked Father Mahadev and Mother Parvati to sit together. Then began to circle the parents. And first came first by circumambulating.

When asked why he did this, everyone was mute and stunned to hear his answers. He said that for me Father Mahadev and Mother Parvati are the whole world. Everyone was surprised to see his cleverness and reasoning power and happily accepted him as the first-worshipped.

Why did Ganesha get the head of an elephant ?

The big head of the elephant is a symbol of wisdom, understanding and judicious intelligence which one must have in order to attain perfection in life. The wide mouth represents the natural human desire to enjoy life in the world. Big ears indicate that an ideal person is one who has a great ability to listen to others and assimilate ideas.

  • ivory teeth

Elephants have two teeth, one segmented and the other unbroken. The two teeth represent two aspects of the human personality, wisdom and emotion. The right tooth represents wisdom and the left tooth represents emotion. The broken left tooth conveys the idea that feelings must be conquered with wisdom in order to attain perfection.

  • elephant trunk

While the trunk of an elephant can uproot a tree on one side, it can also lift a needle from the ground on the other. Similarly, the human mind must be strong enough to withstand the ups and downs of the outer world and also ready to explore the subtle realms of the inner world.

  • elephant eyes

Elephant's eyes are very small. The elephant's eyes symbolize the idea that even though a person may be great in wealth and intelligence, he should still consider others to be bigger and better than himself. It teaches us to have humility.

  • symbol of ease

The elephant is a symbol of both 'Knowledge Shakti' and 'Karma Shakti'. The main qualities of an elephant are intelligence and spontaneity. The giant head of an elephant is a sign of wisdom and knowledge. Elephants never escape from obstacles, nor do they stop them. They simply remove them from their path and move on – it is the epitome of spontaneity. Therefore, when we worship Lord Ganesha, all these qualities are awakened within us.

conclusion

Lord Ganesha is one of the major deities of Hinduism. He is worshiped all over the world. He has several names: Ganapati means the deity (god) of all the Ganas, Akhurath means the one who has a mouse as his charioteer, Chaturbhuja means one who has four arms, Durja means invincible god and Vighnahara means obstacles. Troubleshooting. He is the one who removes all obstacles.
