The legend has that King Abhinandana
performed a Yagna without providing offerings to Lord Indra. The most
infuriated Lord Indra was assigned Kala to trash the Yagna. Kala took the
form of a demon Vignasura and ruined the fire sacrifices and continued to
create mayhem in the worship of Lord by the Rishis and Sages.
They were sought the help of Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva. As per the
advice of Lord Shiva, the sages were underwent severe austerities and commenced
the worship of Lord Ganesha. Lord Ganesha was pleased at the devotion of
the Sages and Rishis. In the meantime, Sage Parshva and his chaste
wife Deepavatsala obtained Lord Ganesha as their son as a boon. The
demon Vignasura continued to harass the deities and sages, the fire sacrifices
has reduced to nil there by the righteousness on the Earth has disappeared, the
whole Universe was wrapped into darkness. Lord Shiva and the
deities approached Sage Parshva and requested to relieve their son to fight
against the demon, but Sage Parshva was uncertain. Lord Ganesha convinced
Sage Parshva and with his permission he entered in a battle with the demon. Lord
Ganesha had a fierce battle with the demon Vignasura. Vignasura
assumed the mystic form of hurricane, wild fire etc..with his illusionary power,
ultimately he surrendered to Lord Ganesha and remained one of the Ganas
of Lord with a settlement that he would create impediments to those who fail to
pay initial reverence to Lord Ganesha. The self-manifested
idol of Lord Vigneshwara was consecrated by the Rishis and Sage to commemorate
the above incident.
Jai Ganesha !!
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
