Ganapathi: The Most worshipped, most questioned.!!!!

One of the beautiful story from the puranas is Ganapathi-Paarvathi-Shiva story where ganapathi gets a replacement for his head. Ganapathi is most worshiped god among Hindus but unfortunately most questioned too..:-(

I was stunned to see a comment from other religion guy in Facebook, calling the above mentioned story as "Family drama" and had a daunting question "how you accept such a cruel Shiva as your god???". Further he dared to use vulgar/slang words to describe the story.

This Post of mine is not only the answer to such rubbish comments, but also enable the knowledge and essence behind story into your mind so that you can give slapping answer to that rather being in doubt.

Firstly,

There are 24 qualities (tatvas) that make up this wonderful universe. For those 24, there are Controllers/Deity for each. Likewise,

Ganapathi --- Deity of Ether ( Akasha tatva )
Paartvathi -- Deity of Speech ( Maathu )
Shiva --- Deity for controlling Mind ( Manassu )

Very briefly, Story goes like this.

1. Paarvathi wanted a guard when she was going for bath.
2. Using her powers, Out of dust on her outer body she made an idol & filled it with life.
3. She instructed not to allow anybody to pass him.
4. Ganapathi encounters Shiva, Ganapathi denied Shiva to pass him as per the strict command from his mother.
5. Shiva gets angry, fights with Ganapathi. Ganapathi looses his Head.

There is a speciality of every Puranic Scripts . That the reader can understand only as per his grasping quality. If he/she is poor in grasping, then result of it will make them to say it a Family drama....:-) Remember its not acts of humans, these are dealings of gods, it will be something unusual and interesting. Yes, in one viewpoint it is a drama to teach us the lesson of life.

But, Let's analyze. I am taking above steps and try to extract real logical sense out of it.

1. When you want to speak out, U need a medium/guard who can take care of your words and take it to destination. (Paartvathi -- Deity of Speech)

2. The medium is nothing but Space (Expression of words) which carries the your spoken words. Or It might be a messenger who carries your message. (Ganapathi --- Deity of Ether)

3. Space should be clear and far from disturbance to carry the sound as is. Or The messenger should be honest and follow the instruction given. 

4. More Importantly, It has to be agreeable with your Thoughts (Shiva). Thinking something and talking something else should not be the case.

5. If your expression of words (Ganapathi/parvathi) not go in sync with mind (Shiva), then you will definitely loose your head weight in future.

 

Anybody thought of this thought????!!!! If I summarize it, it provides a beautiful lesson that "Every word should be Mindful". Very meaningful.

And Now My answer to that unfortunate creature who don't have patience of knowing the meaning before commenting on it is "In Our Religion, even Family Dramas also teach lessons!!!!" Garvadinda garjisuve, Nanobba Hindu.

Stop pointing start praising. Thanks for Reading.....:-)
