Sometimes you just need a little me time when your husband is the destoryer of the universe. Unfortunately, the only one who could guard Parvati's bath was Nandi, Shiva's bull. Who was loyal to Shiva and couldn't keep him out. Parvati created Ganesha as her son to help guard the bathhouse instead but... well let's just say there was a little bit of a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding that led to Shiva cutting off Ganesha's head. Hopefully nothing a lil bandaid can't fix.

Shiva: Where'd you get a baby elephant's head?
Brahma: That's not important.
That in itself is an interesting mini story
@@OptimisticNihilist15
Knowing what little I do of Indian mythology, I'm sure it's a story that Tolkien would be impressed with.
Airavat had 7 heads. So 6 to spare
Shiva: Brahma...where did you get the head of a baby elephant?...
Brahma: ....
Shiva: ....I swear if I see a baby elephant walking around with the head of my dead son. I’m gonna destroy the universe early...
Bramha's condition was that cut off that animals(including human) kids head who is sleeping with his head in South direction and his mother is facing away in other direction. Some stories also say that they took one head of Airavat mount of Indra as he had 7 heads. Side note:- Shiva has all forces of good or evil then they might be gods, demons, ghosts etc. as his disciples and he doesn't discriminates he takes them all as they are.
Brahma being like: can you please leave the universe out of your couple disputes.
😆😆😆😆
Not when they are the Destroyer of Worlds couple.
AY AY WHATCHU SAY NICKA
Something horrible: happens
Brahma: Awww man, not again😒

Actually it's not 5mints..... It's just a outline in the video... There is OCEAN out there to know..
I mean, Ganesh was the son she created after all. I mean, have you seen Demeter? 🤔
Your child is important even if it came to earth only second ago.
It's joke everyone , just chill.
yep, that's exactly how I felt when my kid was born lol
When I took Southeast Asian History, the professor told us about Ganesha. Then one test had a question about Ganesha. The professor had a little statue of him on his desk and we had to write down his name. The question was “which God is sitting on the desk and watching over you as you take the exam?” It was kinda cute.
Sweet little story. ❤

Same here!
I have one on my table too!!
Shiva is actually very innocent too known for granting wishes to demons quite easily
well he has the gift of the Sight so he knows that those wishes of greed, wrath etc will ultimately be their downfall; Shiv and the other gods also doesnt like to meddle with "destiny" or fate and those stories usually are lessons for humanity as well
@ Hey man Indian culture is not a religion. Dharma means duty. Sanatan Dharma =Eternal duty.

@@sushanalone to give my life for Pakistan
Once Ganesh and Karthik (his older brother) were in a bet to see who could go around the world the fastest. While Karthik got in his chariot and fly away, Ganesh simply took a spin around Shiv and Parvati, symbolishing that for a son, his parents are his world. Ganesh won the bet.
its his younger brother..murugar...

@@shaggythewriter8185 sadly that is the case, I just love that the videos are fun and easy to understand so I can share my love for history and mythology with other people.
That is half truth. Ganesha was behaving in a manner that showed his utter ignorance and disregard for All the deities who tried to persuade him to let shiva enter. Such a behavior is not acceptable.
Shiva beheads him. Head is the seat of all Ego. Shiva destroys it to remove all Ego.
@Covid Express Except Shiva didn't know that; as Extra History pointed out, all Shiva knew was that some punk had the nerve to tell a god that he couldn't enter his own home and put him in his place. Parvati probably should've, y'know, _told_ Shiva that the kid standing at their door was her son and not just some rando? Yeah.
actually the kid was just guarding his mother dude you wont interupt her spa day
Ego? That poor kids was doing just what his mom told him to. He was hella loyal
@@bcajjasvvjd4183 i urge you to watch an episode of shiv puran...then you can get what happened...and here decapitating head symbolizes the destruction of ego

@@rewrose2838 Not actually, Parvati is Essentially Considered Equal to Shiva as She is the Embodiment of Shiva Himself
@@rewrose2838 nope. Indian goddesses were as powerful as the gods. They were equal counterparts and balanced each other. Without 1 counterpart, the other messes up. When Shiva did the mistake of underestimating Parvati, she almost wiped out all of life by dissapearing.
Shiva doesn't even have a dad
Thank you for this. I am a Christian but I love learning about other religions. This is fascinating. I am interested to know all of the revelations that are drawn from this story.
Many divine stories from the Hindu Vedas emphasize recognizing and making amends when one has trespassed. Even goddess Kali steps back when she realizes she's trampling her husband. Even for the gods, recognition of harm and respecting boundaries is Supreme.
I won't call Hinduism a religion. And these gods are mainly mythological figures who are worshiped for the morals they represent in the stories.
You can be an atheist and still be a Hindu.
I would say Hinduism is a way of life of people of Indian origin. You can't be converted a Hindu.
They kinda missed some important context... Ganesha didn’t just block Shiva’s path. He openly mocked Shiva. “You can’t be my father! My mother is so beautiful, and you are so dirty and ragged, with matted hair and dressed in tiger skin, covered in ash. Now begone! I will not let you in”.
It’s disrespect and arrogance that got Ganesha’s head chopped off, not just Shiva’s anger.
@@jongxina4908 then how bout balinese Hindus in Indonesia, they're not Indian descendants
@@laosi4278 Same with Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Laos and Bhutan. These countries are now predominantly Buddhist but have Hindu tradition and heritage. Hinduism is a South East Asian tradition and India is the major steward.
actually, multiple arms in Hindu gods dont necessarily show that they have 15 arms. It shows their capabilities are much beyond ours and therefore is divine. Thats why they have so many arms, to show that they are capable of things beyond our understanding :]
Is this the reason why some gods and goddesses are shown with many heads?
@@MarcelinoDeseo Kind of. But every god with multiple head has his own story and meaning of their specific number of heads and what metaphor each head represents.
It's not beyond our understanding though. There are many other people who got the title of god
@@bcajjasvvjd4183 right. what I mean is gods understand much more beyond our capabilities.
@@MarcelinoDeseo Arjuna couldn't see the true form of god with his normal human eyes, Krishna gave him divine eyes a moment and then Arjuna saw in that universal form unlimited mouths, unlimited eyes, unlimited wonderful visions. The form was decorated with many celestial ornaments and bore many divine upraised weapons. He wore celestial garlands and garments, and many divine scents were smeared over His body. All was wondrous, brilliant, unlimited, all-expanding.
If hundreds of thousands of suns were to rise at once into the sky, their radiance might resemble the effulgence of the Supreme Person in that universal form.
At that time Arjuna could see in the universal form of the Lord the unlimited expansions of the universe situated in one place although divided into many, many thousands.
Then, bewildered and astonished, his hair standing on end, Arjuna bowed his head to offer obeisances and with folded hands began to pray to the Supreme Lord.
Arjuna said:
My dear Lord Krsna, I see assembled in Your body all the demigods and various other living entities. I see Brahma sitting on the lotus flower, as well as Lord Siva and all the sages and divine serpents.
O Lord of the universe, O universal form, I see in Your body many, many arms, bellies, mouths and eyes, expanded everywhere, without limit. I see in You no end, no middle and no beginning.
Your form is difficult to see because of its glaring effulgence, spreading on all sides, like blazing fire or the immeasurable radiance of the sun. Yet I see this glowing form everywhere, adorned with various crowns, clubs and discs.
You are the supreme primal objective. You are the ultimate resting place of all this universe. You are inexhaustible, and You are the oldest. You are the maintainer of the eternal religion, the Personality of Godhead. This is my opinion.
You are without origin, middle or end. Your glory is unlimited. You have numberless arms, and the sun and moon are Your eyes. I see You with blazing fire coming forth from Your mouth, burning this entire universe by Your own radiance.
.
He got so terrified to see the actual form of the god that he asked Krishna to return to his human form.
I'm so thrown. Everyone has arms.
By this I mean the drawings usually only have little floating hands.
Lots of arms! They get some serious gains at the gym! :O
Bruh people literally have hundreds of arms in out mythology, like hundreds of amazingly kept arms. A person literally stopped a river with his arms
Only 2. They really have multiple arms, each representing an aspect they control. And eyes. And mouths. And heads. And bodies. And so on. Being gods and all. They don't really have arms, or heads, or bodies. It's just an ancient way of depicting divine power.

Telugu Version: shiva grants wish to Gajamukasura( Gaja: Elephant, Muka: Face, Asura: Demon) for his penance that his wish of him residing in his stomach. To relieve him vishnu along with nandi go to demons cout and perform a play as the demon king grants any whish he seeks for vishnu he says bull wants his owner so he realises the maya of vishnu and asks nandi to tear apart his stomach and get back his master. But asks for a final wish that his head should always be prayed and his skin should always be on shiva and so on. As her husband is coming after the whole ordeal parvati starts to prepare to welcome him anf later ganesha is created and placed as guard made from bath powder and power gained by using her fathers spell to grant the boy life and shiva comes and beheads him and story continues on.
This is and many other stories regarding ganesha are said in our family every year at ganesh chatudasy festival.
That’s so specific
Thanks for sharing, Venkat! I'd never heard this version before. Learned something new today
Yes same here in Telangana, and its told that when ganapathi head was replaced by a elephant head , parvathamma cried so much, because she thought that her child would look ugly and every one will bully him , but she was wrong, now the most beautiful god is ganapathi and nearly everyone likes him

MAIN POINT : Shiva asks brahma to bring any living thing's head in the world ( only )who is willing to give their head . Then He meets a baby elephant and it gives his head willingly.
Not sure how you forgot to mention, but he is the god of wisdom & remover of obstacles. Quite an important domain if you ever want to achieve anything
God of Wisdom and Remover of Obstacles? Makes total sense for an elephant, an animal well know for great memory and strenght.

That's cz they are gods silly. The humans and avatars dont have arms.
@@RAIRADIO then explain hades and all those gods in that video
I do believe this an important note that Ganesh existed before the creation of this story this is why if you know of Shiva this may seem confusing as Shiva is omniscient and knows all things he would know Ganesh is His son this story just creates a feeling for some people to help explain Ganesh though originally Ganesh was actually a gana his teachings were so amazing that we had to remember him so to make him more remembered they changed his head to elephant's, to symbolize how great his knowledge was, because elephants have the biggest head. ( if I managed to get any of that wrong please let me know I'm going off what I remember) Jai Ganesh Jai Shiva

@@jayveldman8782 she is a goddess she can do whatever she wants don't question
Hindu Gods and their stories are always show flawed nature of them because Hinduism is not just a religion but a way of life and a philosophical life lesson for others.
The Ganesha story shows that even if you are the most powerful God you can't enter a bath house with the permission of a woman, even if she's your wife. Obviously in this story Shiva broke the rules , killed his son in rage and angered Parvati.
The Ganesha is now worshipped before that same most powerful God.
Lessons - Respect woman, Wife is not your property , Control your rage, and many many more if you read full story.

Ganesha is my family's main deity
The opening line is very very true for this one
Ganesha (in Mythology): *Being a God of beginnings*
Ganesha (in FGO): *Being a NEET*
Loving these Hindu stories, its one of the mythos/religions that I have most difficulties trying to learn about
As a Hindu I can say its very similar to Greek Mythology, Stories of Gods falling in love with Humans, Demi Gods and Gods helping Men with Divine Artifacts which would aid them in Wars.
I love this cute video.
Actually Lord Narayana's divine wheel cut that elephant head... That baby elephant was sleeping keep its head in the North. 😊😊😊😊
Often foreigners don't understand that Hindu mythology is symbolic , it's like a poetry and have deep meaning ,even Indians are forgetting symbolic meaning of stories
This is what is actual meaning of this story
Source :Quora Akansha Bhardwaj
There is a deeper meaning to all this.
Parvati is symbolic of festive energy. Her becoming dirty signifies that celebration can easily become Rajasik, or feverish and can take you away from your center. Dirt is symbolic of ignorance, and Shiva is symbolic of the Supreme Innocence, Peace and Knowledge.
So when Ganeshaobstructs the path of Shiva, this means that ignorance, which is an attribute of the head, does not recognize knowledge. Then knowledge has to overcome ignorance. This is the symbolism behind Shiva chopping off the boy's head.
And why the elephant head?
Elephant represents both gyan shakti and karma shakti.
The principle qualities of the elephant are wisdom and effortlessness. The enormous head of the elephant signifies Wisdom and Knowledge.
Elephants don't walk around obstacles, neither are they stopped by them. They just remove them and walk ahead - signifying effortlessness.
So, when we worship Lord Ganesha these elephant qualities within us are kindled and we take on these qualities.

This is very weird, I'm not use to these characters having arms, I'm use to just floating hands
Ganesha is my favorite Hindu god.
I love that you really simplified the story. It was beautiful, and I very much enjoyed listening to it. Keep up the excellent work. Also, all those who listened to this story, it covers the very vague outline of the story there were a lot of elements into play especially the boon that shiva gave to his elephant devotee (Gajasura) and many more. You can refer to Shiv Puran for all the interesting stories.
This americanised version of the original story is so hilarious, keep up the content guys, more hindu stories please! There is a great load of amazing content in the hindu culture that the world needs to know!
