Shiv ji and Ganesh ji story
Why Ganesh has Elephant Head: In Hindu religion, Lord Ganesha, son of Mahadev, is called the remover of obstacles. He is worshiped first. That is why Lord Ganesha is called the first worshipper. Any worship or auspicious work is not started before worshiping Lord Ganesha. It is believed that there are no obstacles in any work started by worshiping Lord Ganesha. Many famous and mysterious stories are found in the scriptures.
The birth story of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, is also included in these famous and mysterious stories. It is believed that Mother Parvati created a child from the boil of her body and breathed life into it. The same child later became known as Lord Ganesha. It is said that Mother Parvati had entrusted the responsibility of guarding her door to Lord Ganesha. At the same time Mahadev had cut off the head of Lord Ganesha. Let us know this interesting story.
according to legend…
According to the legend, Mother Parvati entrusted the responsibility of guarding her gate to Lord Ganesha and left. Mahadev was not present there at that time. Ganesh ji was completely following his mother’s orders. After some time, Shiv ji reached there and started going inside the door, but Ganesh ji stopped him from doing so. Ganesh ji did not recognize Lord Shiva.
Ganesh ji told Mahadev that no one can go inside without his mother’s permission. Lord Shiva felt bad about this. Then gradually the dispute between the two increased. Lord Shiva’s followers and gods started trying to convince Ganesh ji, but Ganesh ji remained firm on his point. Here Lord Shiva’s anger increased and finally he cut off the head of Lord Ganesha with his trident.
Lord Shiva decided to sacrifice his life
When Mother Parvati came to know about this, she became very angry and sad. At that time his anger had put the whole world in trouble. The gods requested Lord Shiva to handle the situation. Then Lord Shiva realized his mistake and decided to give life to Lord Ganesha. Lord Shiva asked his followers to bring the head of the first living being sleeping with its head towards the north.
The Ganas found a baby elephant sleeping with its head towards the north. The Gana came to Mahadev with the head of the baby elephant. After this Lord Shiva gave new life to Lord Ganesha. He was also given the boon of being the first to be worshiped among all the gods. From then onwards Lord Ganesha started being worshiped first.
