Today is Ganesh Chaturthi . This is the day of birth of God Ganesh . God Ganesh is elephant headed God . This shows we Hindus worship animals as our Gods and always protect them .
All of us know story of severed head Ganesh . His father God Shiva had chopped off the head of God Ganesh for not letting him to enter the house.
But the story now I am writing states that God Shani is responsible for the detachment of normal head of God Ganesh . The story goes like this ....
Goddess Parvati was very unhappy that she is childless . To have a child , she started to pray God Vishnu . Satisfied with her prayers , God Vishnu blessed her with a boy child .
We Hindus arrange a ceremony when it is time to put the new born baby into the cradle . Same way , Goddess Parvati has also arranged a ceremony for the new born baby Ganesh . She invited all the Gods and Goddesses to attend the function .
Everyone had come except God Shani . We believe that just the small glance of God Shani will bring the bad luck in our life . That's why God Shani didn't attend the function .
But Goddess Parvati was very adamant . She succeeded to bring God Shani forcefully to attend the function . But as soon as God Shani took a glance of new born baby Ganesh , head of Ganesh got seperated from his body . Then God Vishnu attached the head of a dead elephant to body of God Ganesh .
That's why God Ganesh is also hailed as GAJAVADANA meaning elephant headed .
