Hello everyone, Good evening to you all, I have not been active in Noise and read from morning today because I took a break as we are celebrating India's one of the prominent and Biggest festival "Ganesh Chaturthi" that is Lord Ganesh's birthday... If you are a person who are aware of a few details of Hinduism, you might have probably heard the name "Ganesha" or "Vinayaka" God.. Today is such a special day, I could literally make like 10 posts about his origin, festival practices, foods we make, street celebrations, Immersing Ganesh's idols in ocean and so many... But, I'm just gonna write about how Lord Ganesha was born...
Before even starting this post, I'm just gonna Pray for God Ganesh to bless everyone with lots of happiness and peace, Ganesha God is famous to remove obstacles in life and bring prosperity in the house and also is the first God to be worshiped before starting a business or school or any major life event in Hinduism... Ganesha is also one of the wisest God and hence Kids are made to pray him everyday to get proper education and confidence.... His powers are endless and I'm just gonna stop writing more because I don't know where to end...
The story starts at Goddess Parvati , She is the wife of Lord Shiva...(She is an incarnation or another form of The Supreme power Goddess Durga, who created the universe and everything within).. Parvati devi (Devi = Goddess) decides to take a bath one day and she wanted to created something as her gate security... she goes near to the lake and there, she sees some solid Mud, using which she makes a little boy... She gives life to the mud and the Boy comes to life... she hugs him and tells him that she is his mother, and she wants him as his security at the door as she goes to bath... The little cute baby agrees and starts to guard the doors...
Meanwhile, Lord Shiva makes an appearance at the door and surprises to see a little baby standing in front of it... Lord Shiva very kindly asks the baby boy to move as he has to go inside his room and the baby boy refuses to move. Lord Shiva begs and begs and he even says that he is the husband of the Devi, and hence he can go inside.. the baby boy simply refuses to even listen to the God and stands on his ground. And the rest of the Hindu Gods comes down at the door to beg the baby boy to permit Lord Shiva to go inside... But nothing works...
The baby boy shows his attitude towards all the Gods and even disrespects few of them... he says "No matter who you are or how powerful you are, I will not let you go inside as my Mother asked me to guard this door".. and the baby boy even goes to war with the Gods and defeats the God Indra, who is the God of five elements...All the Gods use their powers and none of them works on the boy considering the boy is literally created by Devi herself, who is the supreme most powerful force ever existed... Finally after some million efforts, Lord Shiva loses his cool and he goes against the baby boy and wants to punish him for disrespecting all the Gods.
Lord Shiva being the most powerful and dominant force equal to Devi, cuts the baby boy's head and the baby falls to ground... Meanwhile, Devi finishes bathing and comes out happily to see her child only to find his body lying on the ground...Devi cries and cries and becomes extremely angry and takes the form of Mother Kali... Mother Kali is the most fierce and powerful and angriest form of Devi and she promises that she will destroy the universe and everything within because of what happened to her child...
To cool down the mother and to save the Universe, Lord Shiva promises to give life to the baby and sends his team to search for a head that is well suited to the boy... Lord Shiva says "bring the head of the person who is sleeping with his head facing the South" .. Lord Shiva's team searches every nuke and corner of the earth and finally arrives at a forest to find an elephant sleeping with it's head facing the South... they cut the elephant's head and brings it to the God... and before you judge the cruelty, that elephant is a Demon named "Gajasura".. he was in an elephant disguise escaping punishment from the God... So, Lord Shiva knew better lol..
This has been proven scientifically that when you sleep with your head facing South, your human force conflicts between earth's magnetic force and thus giving you health issues and brain damage... every Hindu story has scientific proven reason and that is why we take them seriously.... and I have never in my life eaten or slept facing south.......
They bring the head and puts it near the boy'd body where Lord Shiva attaches the head to the body and Lord Brahma (who is the creator of all the living things in the universe) gives back life to the baby Boy... The boy runs and hugs his mother who even though feels bad for the Boy's appearance but also finds how cute the baby is and is glad now that he is back. Lord Ganesha apologizes to his father and other Gods for being rude before and hence, all the Gods bless the baby boy to have utmost power in everything thus making Lord Ganesh one of the most powerful and intelligent Gods of all.. Devi blesses the boy and names him "Ganesh" or "Vinayaka"
She also blesses Ganesh that any prayer must be started with Ganesh, any major event in the world like a wedding or starting a business or going to another city or starting school or college must be started with praying to Ganesh to not have any obstacles in them and they be ending successful event... Till today, we Hindus do not start anything in life without worshiping Lord Ganesh.
Every Hindu God has a animal as a vehicle, and Lord Ganesha's vehicle is the Mouse... The mouse is actually another Monster named "Mushikasura" (Mushika = rat, Asura= demon or monster). One day, Lord Ganesha goes out to kill this demon who was bothering and the monster begs to not to kill him and if his life is spared, he will serve as a vehicle to the God and thus carrying him everywhere as a blessing....
Hope you all found this interesting to read... I said it before and I'm gonna say it again, May Lord Ganesh bless you with lot of happiness, prosperity and confidence.... May all your obstacles in life be removed and you attain the ultimate peace and salvation :) the below pic is the Ganesh Idol we brought home to do prayers and on 3rd day or 5th, 7th or 9th day, according to the practice of the house, the Idol is immersed on Ocean water.... (Scientific reason being, when Mud is immersed in water, it will stop the water to flow away and the mud retains water and thus avoiding droughts in that city)....
Disclaimer: People who do not understand the mysterious ways how God work may question the cruelty of Lord Shiva for cutting a baby's head, but it is not like that. Lord Shiva, Mother Paravti and all the Gods knows the future and it is all part of the God's drama to create Lord Ganesha... Hope you wise people understand :))
