Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 Excerpted from : http://www.hindu-mythology.com/html/gods.htm LORD GANESHA : is also known as Vighnaharta ( remover of obstacles). He is said to have been created by Parwati, consort of Lord Shiva, from the scrub of her body while taking bath. She placed him for the guard and ordered him that nobody should enter the place while she was taking bath in the pool. When Lord Shiva tried to ente , Ganesha stopped them from entering the pool, Angered by Ganesha's refusal, Lord Shiva chopped his head. When Parvati came out after taking bath, she was shocked to see her dead son. To console her Lord Shiva sent his ganas to find the head of baby whose mother was sleeping showing her back to her child. The ganas found a baby elephant whose mother was sleeping with her back facing the baby elephant. As per orders of Lord Shiva, The ganas cut off the head of the baby elephant and Lord Shiva placed it on the body of Ganesha. Then Parvati raised dout that who will worship a child with head of an elephant. Lord Shiva then blessed Ganesha that henceforth no new activity would begin without evoking him. From that day onwards, Hindus worship Ganesha before begining any activity so the work may be completed without hurdle. The vehicle of Ganesha is rat. The to consorts of Ganesha are Riddhi and Siddhi. Their sons are Laabh and Shubh and daughter is Santoshi .She is invoked to assist in gaining personal advancement and prosperity by keeping fast on Friday. ==================== "aqesa <aqesa >" <aqesa > wrote: Really????? wow...did I told you I once had a dream of the land where Ganesha lives and I was there but I don´t know in wich form...I saw 2 sons of Ganesha a boy and a girl I can´t tell if I was inside of their bodies or if I was observing the whole scene.
