Lord Ganesha very Brilliant
Lord Ganesha very Brilliant
Lord Ganesha is son of Parvatidevi and Parameswara. Kumara swami or Kartikeya is his younger brother. Lord Ganesha was very clever, intelligent, bright, brilliant and polite. But Kartikeya or Kumara swami is short tempered Both of them are very friendly and sometimes they quarrel each other. As usual they had a very big quarrel and each of them thought that the other one was guilty. The matter could not be settled. Finally they soon approached their parents to get justice.
Lord Shiva and Parvati heard both the sides and then lord Shiva had an idea "children," he said to them,"let us settle it this way you have to go around the world and one who comes back first will be considered to be the right one the other one wrong ! Do you agree?" "yes ! Yes !! Agreed both of them Kumara swamy always rode a peacock and was very fastat it while Ganesha used a little rat for riding. Kumara swamy was sure that he would win the race because his peacock was much faster than the rat.
Kumara swamy jumped on his peacock and rode very fast as he could. Ganesha first had a look at his big stomach and then at his little rat. He was sure that he can never win the race.Then Kumara swamy was already away with his vehicle peacock.
And Ganesha just sat down there thinking and suddenly he had a bright idea. He made lord Shiva and mata Parvati sit together and quickly went arround them three times. Soon. Kumara swamy came on his peacock after travelling arround the world successfully and told Shiva-Parvati proudly," here I come ! I won and looked at Ganesha "No,"said Ganesha, firmly,"our parents are the mother and father of the world,so going arround them is just like going arround the world! I have done it three times but you have done it only once and that makes me the winner! And Ganesha looked at lord Shiva and Parvati,"am I right or wrong?"he asked them.
"Ganesha is right",said Parvati to Kumara swamy," he has won the race ! " Hearing that Kumara swamy lost his temper and thought that mother was partial to Ganesha. In a feat of anger he took an oath,"I shall neither look at my mother's, nor any woman's face in the world ! "and Kumara swamy kept his word,he never looked at the face of any women in the world.So,in many temples of Kumara swamy,women do not enter.
