Learns A Lesson



Ganesh was one day playing with a cat in Kailas. In a playful mood, he pulled the tail of the cat and it started crying. Then he rolled it over on the ground and let it go After some time, when he was tired of playing, he ran to his Mother and cuddled on Her lap. When he looked up to Her face, he saw Her twisting with pain, and observed that Her body was smeared with dirt. He was surprised to see the Mother in this condition which was very unusual. Ho asked: "What happened to you Mother? What causes pain to you and how did you become dirty ?" She looked lovingly at Ganesh and said: "You did alt this mischief on Me, that is why my limbs are paining and my body is dirty I" Ganesh protested : "How can it be ? I never hurt my dear Mother, nor have I smeared dirt on your lovely body." "You did," said the Mother. Ganesh could not understand Then She said, "You pulled my rail and rolled me over on the ground" Ganesh immediately understood what the Mother meant- "I now understand Mother, that all bodies and forms are but Yours only; and I shall never harm anyone, lest I may hurt You," he said.

Kashyapa


  1. Another tale of Ganesha's birth relates to an incident in which Shiva slew Aditya, the son of a sage. Shiva restored life to the dead boy, but this could not pacify the outraged sage Kashyapa, who was one of the seven great Rishis. Kashyap cursed Shiva and declared that Shiva's son would lose his head. When this happened, the head of Indra's elephant was used to replace it. Still another tale states that on one occasion, Parvati's used bath-water was thrown into the Ganges, and this water was drunk by the elephant-headed Goddess Malini, who gave birth to a baby with four arms and five elephant heads. The river goddess Ganga claimed him as her son, but Shiva declared him to be Parvati's son, reduced his five heads to one and enthroned him as the controller of obstacles (Vignesha).
  2. Mahotkata Vinayaka (Mahotkaţa Vināyaka), who has ten arms and a red complexion. Different sources list his mount (vāhana) as either an elephant or lion. He was born to Kashyapa (Kaśyapa) and Aditi in the Krita yuga. The name Kāśyapaḥ (descendant of Kaśyapa) for Ganesha refers to this incarnation. This incarnation killed the demon brothers Narantaka (Narāntaka) and Devantaka (Devāntaka), as well as the demon Dhumraksha (Dhūṃrākşa).
