GOD GANESH.

       GOD GANESH 

Ganesh is one of the most important gods. His human body and elephant head make him easily recognizable.

Both Jainism and Buddhism worship Ganesha as a major deity. Ganesha is one of the most important deities in Ganapatya Hinduism.

Early life 

Ganesha is the son of Shiva and Parvati and the brother of Subramaniam, the god of war. He was created by Goddess Parvati out of clay molded into the shape of a boy.



As Lord Shiva wandered meditatively, Goddess Parvati appointed her new son as her guard while she bathed.At this time, Shiva unexpectedly came home and found the boy, furious at his audacity in claiming to be Parvati's son, and fought fiercely with the boy.Enraged, Shiva cut off Ganesh's head. At this, Parvati ran from her bath tub and declared that it was her son who had killed him. Repentant Shiva ordered a new head to be found for the boy and since the first existing animal was an elephant, Ganesh was fitted with an elephant head. He was the most unique among the Hindu Gods.

Ganesha's Adventure 

Many stories have been written explaining Ganesha's relationship with intelligence and wisdom, one of which is his competition with his brother for the first marriage. They make a challenge that whoever can circumnavigate the earth first will find the first bride. So his brother did not waste any time and got on his blue peacock and immediately went around the world.Meanwhile, Ganesha went to his parents' house without any fuss, embraced them and quoted the sacred Vedic verse, "He who embraces his parents seven times (pradakshina) gets the merit of encircling the world seven times."So Ganesha won the match.

Representation in Art


Ganesha in Hindu art is depicted differently based on specific cultures.Indian, Cambodian, Jawana, etc. But he is often depicted with the head of an elephant and a rather elaborate human body. In his hands he often carries a broken ivory tusk, an axe, a wooden tunda, prayer beads and a plate or bowl of sweets. He also sometimes uses an elephant and a sheep to overcome obstacles in life. Ganesha is often depicted riding his giant rat, known for his speed and symbolizing the god's ability to overcome obstacles.

MY FAIRY WORLD

My fairy world 💜My fairy world is my room. 💜Ever since I was little, I dreamed of a beautiful room. 💜Before, our house had only living room, one room and kitchen. 💜So I didn't have a room. 💜By 2018, we moved to a new house, but I didn't have a room in it either. 💜I got a room by 2020. 💜But it is an unfinished room. 💜There were no windows and door. 💜In 2021 I installed a door and windows on it. 💜I was able to install tiles and a ceiling with my money. 💜I made that dream come true with my hard work. 💜I made my room look brand new again by painting it yesterday. 💜I think you should keep your place nice and tidy. 💜I believe that our minds will be cleared. 💜My favorite place is my room. 💜It really is a fairyland for me. 💜If we think about it, there is nothing we can't do.                       💜💜💜💜💜
