Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Hello Brother Lambodara Das, Thanks for the reply to my question. Some how I don't know I am going to get anything near the Life and Times of Gajaasura. I have a different story on the elephant demon in which Shiva lops of his head and takes it back to place onto the body of Lord Ganesh, this obviously is due to the fact there are differing mythologies on Ganesh. Thanks again. Jai Ganesha! Rick , Lambodara Das <lambodara_das> wrote: > > Namaste All, > > Brother Rick here is a story found in the book Ganesha the Auspicious...the Beginning by S.

He used these powers to harass the gods who then rushed to Ganesha for help. Ganesha battled with the demon but realised that thanks to the powers given by Shiva the evil one could not be killed. > > Ganesha then broke His right tusk and threw it at Gajamukha cursing him to change into a mouse. He then got on to the back of the mouse and made it his vehicle, thereby keeping it under His control. > > All Glories to the subduer of the Gajamukha Asura > > Jai Sri Ganesha > > Lambodara Das > > > > > > Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
