Bavishya Puranam - Ganesha Khandam !! Sankatahara Chathurthi on 24th December, 2010 !!

Jai Sriman Narayana !!








Bavishya Puranam - Ganesha Khandam describes the birth of Lord Ganesha and the transformation of His head into an elephant.

 

 

All the deities were happy at the birth of Lord Ganesha. All of them assembled to see and bless the new born, Lord Shani was also one among them.  Lord Shani had a curse that things which fall under his direct sight would shrivel.  Hence, He blessed the child without keeping an eye on him. At this moment, the mother of Lord Ganesha approached Shani and advised Him to ignore the curse and bless the child. At this, Shani made an attempt to look at the child through the corner of his eyes. Surprisingly, with a single glance the head of the child disappeared immediately.  Lord Krishna intervened to fix the head of the child with the Airavatham’s  head.

 

Jai Sriman Narayana !!

Wasn't Ganesha's head chopped off by the Asura Sena sent by Lord Shiva ?
