Many stories describle how Ganesha (Ganesh) got the elephant head. One tells how parvati created Ganesha in absence of Shiva, to guard her quarters, at which point Shiva cut off his head Later shiva restored Ganesha to life and provided him with the head of an elephant because no other was available.
The son of Shiva & Pavati Ganesha has an elephant head with a curved trunk and big ears and a huge pot-bellied body of a human being.
He is lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also worshipped as a god of education and knowlege, wisdom and health.
My Ganesh is curved into the crystal Lapis Lazuli, encourages taking charge of life, reveals inner truth.
You have so many interesting Gods and I would like to know, do you worship them all or select just a few special ones to worship? I have heard of Ganesh. Do you hold festivals for the Gods?
