Everyone knows the story about how Parvati created Ganesha, and left him to guard the house when Shiva returned and chopped his head off! Why would Shiva, known for his benevolence cut off the head of Parvati's creation? How could Shiva, who can see beyond time, not know that the boy who stood guard was Parvati's child? This story has a deep, profound meaning behind it, and Gurudev shares the eye opening symbolism of it.

This was a captivating explanation of the deeper meanings in the story of Shiva and Ganesha. Gurudev, your ability to uncover the spiritual and philosophical layers behind these ancient tales is truly remarkable. Thank you for enriching our understanding of these timeless stories.

Thank you, Gurudev, for this enlightening explanation of the symbolism behind Ganesha's story. It's fascinating to see how ancient myths carry profound life lessons and deeper meanings. Your insights truly help us appreciate and understand these cultural narratives in a modern context. 🙏

With deep devotion to Shiva, i think some stories were made up by our ancestors to send messages to the ignorant to keep them in line, God fearing and uphold the faith in the Gods during tough times in life. But recent generations are more intelligent, practical and realistic to believe such stories. Somewhere there ought to be the truth documented behind the stories for the future generations

Yes but Shiva is The destroyer. Ultimate agent of never ending recreation. Its his role in the world.

[@ravi1sinha]

Not exactly destruction, His role is transformation

[@krzychoos6633]

@@ravi1sinhaThere is no transformation before dissolving previous form.

I have few doubts.Shakti or Parvathi has a distortion which is called impurity and parvathi has made a person out of it. Impurity was there to come out the oneness of univesal spirit. Later Lord Shiva has cut the head of that person because with the brain of the human intellect comes in between to experience the infinity or universal spirit and uses elephants head as answer for it.If the impurity which is distortion nothing but Ganesha also experinces Universal spirit who is the one lets know Parvathi to come out of the universal spirit since Ganesha is also experiencing Universal spirit.
