Ganesh Jayanti
Once, Bhagwan Shiva was away and Parvati Mata went for a bath in the river.
She took a little turmeric paste from Her body and started to mould a human baby boy from it and gave Him life.
She clearly instructed the boy to keep a guard and
not allow anyone inside.
Meanwhile, Bhagwan Shiva returned and wanted to go to His beloved Parvati Devi.
The Boy refused admission to Bhagwan Shiva. Bhagwan Shiva became furious and He threw His trident towards the boy, decapitating Him.
When Parvati Mata returned, She was very sad to see Her dear son lying lifeless. Bhagwan Shiva tried to console Parvati Devi but was not successful.
Bhagwan Shiva then sent His army to fetch the head of anyone they meet.
The army men first saw the dying elephant.
They fetched that head and came back to Bhagwan
Shiva. Bhagwan Shiva attached the head on the boy’s body and brought Him back
to life.
Parvati Mata was very happy but was also worried that Her son would be mocked by all the Gods.
Bhagwan Shiva sensed Her sadness and to allay Her fear, He invoked all the Gods and asked them to bless their son.
All the Gods showered their blessings and boons upon Shri Ganesha.
