Who Lord Ganesha Actually Is?


Lord Ganesha is the older son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. He is believed to be the Lord of Good Fortune who provides prosperity, good luck, and success. He is famous for his power of knowledge and hence known as ‘The Vinayak or Vighneshwer’. He is considered to be the attractor of good luck and hence is remembered, in the beginning of any auspicious performance for blessings and auspiciousness.
Goddess Parvati had created Ganesha out of dirt off her body while having a bath and set him to guard her door while she finishes her bath. Shiva who had gone out returned at that time, but as Ganesha didn’t know him, stopped him from entering. An angry Shiva severed the head of Ganesha after a combat between the two. Parvati was enraged and Shiva promised Ganesha will live again. The devas who went in search of a head facing north of a dead person could manage only the head of an elephant. Shiva fixed the elephant’s head on the child and brought him back to life.
