My Favourite God

“GOD” means “Guardian of Devotees”. My favorite God is Lord Ganesha. There are many reasons for this. A simpler one is:-

G – Get

A – Always

N – New

E – Energy

S – Spirit &

H – Happiness

A – At all times.

Lord Ganesha holds a very significant place in the Hindu religion .He is usually worshipped as the obstacle remover .His other names are Ganapati (holder of the weight of his devotees.), Gajaanan (elephant headed), Vinaayagar etc. Any religious activity begins with his blessings. Even when we start writing anything; we use his symbol on the top. According to the Hindus, Lord Ganesha is the eldest son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi. Parvathi created Ganesha in the absence of Lord Shiva to guard the house while she is bathing. When Lord Shiva came, Ganesha didn’t allow his father to get in. Furiously, Lord Shiva cut down his head with the trishula. When Parvati saw the condition of her son she became angry. Then, to console her, Shiva replaced Ganesha’s head with an elephant’s one.

Ganapathi is considered as favorite God of children. He also gets the Tamil name Pillayar. He wrote the “Mahabharata” as sage Vyasa dictated the verses. He is very kind & pitiful. His vehicle Mooshika (a mouse) is a Ghandharva, whom he transferred like this. The full moon day of Vaisakh is considered as his sacred day. He is a very jovial God and enjoys his dinner very much.

Let us pray Lord Ganesha and seek his blessings.
