This is another interesting story of Lord Ganesha.Once Ganesha and Kartikay got into an argument as who was the elder of the two. The matter was told to Lord Shiva for an answer. Lord Shiva asked that whoever would travel around the world and come out first had the right to be the elder of two. Lord Kartikay flew off on his vehicle, the peacock, to take the round of the world. But Ganesha went round his parents and asked for the reward of his success.
Lord Shiva said: "Beloved and wise -Ganesha! You did not go round the world". Ganesha replied: "No, but I went round my parents. My parents symbolize the entire world.'' The argument was settled in favour of Ganesha and thereafter recognized as the elder of the two brothers. Ganesha got a fruit as reward from his mother Parvati for this.

The Elephant Head - Story of Ganesha
This story is about Lord Ganesha's birth and how he gets the head of an elephant. Once upon a time, Parvati was going to take the bath and before going, she made a boy out of the dirt of her body ,to guard the entrance of her house. She asked him not to allow anyone inside .After saying this, she went inside to take the bath. After this lord shiva came himself to meet his consort and he was quite thirsty. Ganesha stopped him at the door as he was unable to recognize his father ,Lord Shiva. Lord Ganesha was beheaded by Shiva, who took him as an outsider, when Ganesha was trying to defend his mother's bath.
When Parvati came to know about this, she persuaded Shiva, to restore Ganesha to life. Shiva ordered his servants (Gana) to bring the head of any creature that they come across first. An elephant, the wisest of animals, appeared and became the spontaneous donor in the head transplant of Ganesha. Shiva attached the head of the elephant to the torso of Ganesha. After looking at the child (Ganesha), Parvati asked Shiva that who will consider this god with the face of an elephant.
Understanding Parvati's viewpoint, Shiva blessed the child, Ganesha that he will be the lord of beginning and people will worship him first, before any other God in any kind of undertaking. He ordained that the annual worship of Ganesha, should take place on the fourth day of the bright half of Bhadrapada (August-September).

Ganesha and His Love for Laddoo
Lord Ganesha is very fond of Laddoo (Modaka - a sweet delicacy). Once upon a day of Ganesha Puja, Ganesha went from house to house and accepted the offerings of laddoo. He stuffed himself to the capacity and decided to take a ride on his mouse at night. Along the moonlit road they got to see a large snake and the troubled rat stumbled, with the consequence Ganpati fell down .He hit the ground hard and as a result his stomach burst open. All the laddoos came out but Ganesha again stuffed them into his stomach. He caught the snake and tied it round his belly.
Moon witnessed the whole event and laughed heartily. Lord Ganesha lost his temper and furiously looked about for something to throw at his tormentor. Getting nothing, he pulled out one of his tusks and hurled it at the moon. He cursed the moon that no one should look at the moon on the day of Ganesha Puja .If anyone would look at it , he will get a bad name ,criticism or ill reputation. If anyone gets to see the moon by chance, he would be free from that bad name or blame, after hearing the story of Lord Krishna's clearing, his personality in respect of the Syamantaka jewel. Thus, Ganesha was happy to proclaim this.

The Story of RAMA Avatar
In RAMA Avatar, Lord Vishnu incarnates himself as RAMA, the central character in the epic Ramayan. In the epic, the character RAMA is expected to show the world the characteristics of an ideal person, including ideal son, ideal husband, ideal king and an ideal person. RAMA was incarnated upon this planet to get rid of the asura with ten heads, Ravana, who had been granted a boon by Brahma of immunity from gods, and other celestial beings. Ravana was too vainglorious to be thinking of being vanquished by a man. Hence RAMA was born and Lakshmi, wife of Lord Vishnu was born as Sita, his wife to be in this life. The story of Ramayan, is an exciting nail-biting story of the war raged by Rama against various evil elements of the world and in the end against Ravana.
Ramayan epitomises the ideal behaviour of man, with special focus on man-wife relationship, son-father relationship and the rules for ideal governance by a king.

Ganesh chalisa
DOHA
Jaya ganapati sadhguna sadana, kavi vara badana kripaala.
Vighna harana mangala karana, jaya jaya girijaa laala.
Jaya jaya ganapati gan raaju, mangala bharana karana shubha kaaju .
Jaya gajabadana sadana sukhadaataa, vishva vinaayaka buddhi vidhaata.
Vakra tunda shuchi shunda suhaavana, tilaka tripunda bhaala mana bhaavana.
Raajata mani muktana ura maala, svarna mukuta shira nayana vishaala.
Pustaka paani kuthaara trishuulam, modaka bhoga sugandhita phoolam.
Sundara piitaambara tana saajita, charana paaduka muni mana raajita.
Dhani shiva suvana shadaanana bhraata, gaurii lalana vishva-vidhaata.
Riddhi siddhi tava chanvara sudhaare, mushaka vaahana sohata dvaare.
Kahaun janma shubha kathaa tumhaari, ati shuchi paavana mangala kaari.
Eka samaya giriraaj kumaari, putra hetu tapa kinha bhaari.
Bhayo yagya jaba puurna anuupa, taba pahunchyo tuma dhari dvija ruupa.
Atithi jaani kai gauri sukhaari, bahuvidhi sevaa kari tumhaari.
Ati prasanna hvai tuma vara diinha, maatu putra hita jo tapa kiinha.
Milahi putra tuhi buddhi vishaala, binaa garbha dhaarana yahi kaala.
Gananaayaka, guna gyaana nidhaana, puujita prathama ruupa bhagavana.
Asa kahi antardhyaana ruupa hvai, palana para baalaka svaruupa hvai.
Bani shishu rudana jabahi tuma thaana, lakhi mukha sukha nahin gauri samaan.
Sakala magana, sukha mangala gaavahin, nabha te surana sumana varshaavahin.
Shambhu uma, bahu dana lutavahin, sura munijana, suta dekhana aavahin.
Lakhi ati aananda mangala saaja, dekhana bhi aaye shani raaja.
Nija avaguna guni shani mana maahin, baalaka, dekhan chaahata naahin.
Giraja kachhu mana bheda badhaayo, utsava mora na shani tuhi bhaayo.
Kahana lage shani, mana sakuchaai, kaa karihau, shishu mohi dikhaai.
Nahin vishvaasa, uma ur bhayau, shani so baalaka dekhana kahyau.
Padatahin, shani driga kona prakaasha, baalaka shira udi gayo aakaasha.
Giraja giriin vikala hvai dharani, so dukha dasha gayo nahin varani.
Haahaakaara machyo kailaasha, shani kiinhyon lakhi suta ka naasha.
Turata garuda chadhi Vishnu sidhaaye, kaati chakra so gaja shira laaye.
Baalaka ke dhada upara dhaarayo, praana, mantra padha shankara darayo.
Naama 'ganesha' shambhu taba kiinhe, prathama puujya buddhi nidhi, vara diinhe.
Buddhi pariiksha jaba shiva kiinha, prithvii kar pradakshina liinha.
Chale shadaanana, bharami bhulaIi, rachi baitha tuma buddhi upaai.
Charana maatu-pitu ke dhara linhen, tinake saata pradakshina kinhen.
Dhani ganesha, kahi shiva hiya harashe, nabha te surana sumana bahu barase.
Tumhari mahima buddhi badaye., shesha sahasa mukha sakai na gaai.
Mein mati hina malina dukhaari, karahun kauna vidhi vinaya tumhaari.
Bhajata 'raamasundara' prabhudaasa, lakha prayaga, kakara, durvasa .
Aba prabhu daya dina para kijai, apani bhakti shakti kuchhu dijai.
DOHA:
Shri Ganesh yah chalisa, path karai dhari dhyan,
Nit nav mangal gruha bashe, lahi jagat sanman.
Sambandh apne sahstra dash, rushi panchami dinesh.
Puran chalisa bhayo, mangal murti ganesha.

Durga Chalisa Lyrics - Hindi Devotional Bhajan Song of Goddess Durga
Namo Namo Durge Sukh karani,
Namo Namo ambe Dukh harani. 1
Nirakar hai jyoti tumhari,
Tihun lok pheli ujayari. 2
Shashi lalat mukh mahavishala,
Netra lal bhrikutee vikarala. 3
Roop Matu ko adhika suhave,
Daras karat jan ati sukh pave. 4
Tum sansar shakti laya kina,
Palan hetu anna dhan dina. 5
Annapurna hui jag pala,
Tumhi adi sundari Bala. 6
Pralaya kala sab nashan hari,
Tum gauri Shiv-Shankar pyari. 7
Shiv yogi tumhre guna gaven,
Brahma Vishnu tumhen nit dhyaven. 8
Roop Saraswati ko tum dhara,
De subuddhi rishi munina ubara. 9
Dharyo roop Narsimha ko amba,
Pragat bhayin phar kar khamba. 10
Raksha kari Prahlaad bachayo,
Hiranakush ko swarga pathayo. 11
Lakshmi roop dharo jag mahin,
Shree Narayan anga samihahin. 12
Ksheer sindhu men karat vilasa,
Daya Sindhu, deeje man asa. 13
Hingalaja men tumhin Bhavani,
Mahima amit na jet bakhani. 14
Matangi Dhoomavati Mata,
Bhuvneshwari bagala sukhdata. 15
Shree Bhairav lara jog tarani,
Chhinna Bhala bhav dukh nivarani. 16
Kehari Vahan soh Bhavani,
Langur Veer Chalat agavani. 17
Kar men khappar khadag viraje,
Jako dekh kal dan bhaje. 18
Sohe astra aur trishoola,
Jase uthata shatru hiya shoola. 19
Nagarkot men tumhi virajat,
Tihun lok men danka bajat. 20
Shumbhu Nishumbhu Danuja tum mare,
Rakta-beeja shankhan samhare. 21
Mahishasur nripa ati abhimani,
Jehi agha bhar mahi akulani. 22
Roop karal Kalika dhara,
Sen Sahita tum tin samhara. 23
Pan garha Santon par jab jab,
Bhayi sahaya Matu tum tab tab. 24
Amarpuni aru basava loka,
Tava Mahirna sab rahen asoka. 25
Jwala men hai jyoti tumhari,
Tumhen sada poojen nar nari. 26
Prem bhakti se Jo yash gave,
Dukh-daridra nikat nahin ave. 27
Dhyave tumhen jo nar man laee,
Janam-maran tako chuti jaee. 28
Jogi sur-muni kahat pukari,
Jog na ho bin shakti tumhari. 29
Shankar Aacharaj tap keenhon,
Kam, krodha jeet sab leenhon. 30
Nisidin dhyan dharo Shankar ko,
Kahu kal nahini sumiro tum ko. 31
Shakti roop ko maran na payo,
Shakti gayi tab man pachitayo. 32
Sharnagat hui keerti bakhani,
Jai jai jai Jagdamb Bhavani. 33
Bhayi prasanna Aadi Jagdamba,
Dayi shakti nahin keen vilamba. 34
Mokon Matu kashta ati ghero,
Tum bin kaun hare dukh mero. 35
Aasha trishna nipat sataven,
Moh madadik sab binsaven. 36
Shatru nash keeje Maharani,
Sumiron ekachita tumhen Bhavani. 37
Karo kripa Hey Matu dayala,
Riddhi-Siddhi de karahu nihala. 38
Jab lagi jiyoon daya phal paoon,
Tumhro yash men sada sunaoon. 39
Durga Chalisa jo gave,
Sab sukh bhog parampad pave. 40

Shani Dev stories
Story of Shanidev............
In our routine lives, there is a great importance of the kindness and the power of God Shani. Shani occupies the seventh place among the nine planets which govern the world. This is viewed as unlucky in conventional astrology. As per ‘Kaagol Shastra’, the distance of Shani from the earth is 9 crore miles. Its radius is about one billion and 82 crore and 60 lakh kilometers. And its gravitational force is 95 times higher than that of the earth. Planet Shani takes 19 years to complete one revolution around the Sun. The astronauts have viewed the Shani’s colours as beautiful, strong, influencing and eye-catching. It has twenty two satellites in its ring.
Shani’s gravitational power is more than that of the Earth’s. Therefore, when we think good or bad thoughts and make plans, they reach Shani by the strength of his power. In astrological terms, the bad influence is considered as unlucky. But the result of good deeds will be good. Therefore, we must understand God Shani as a friend and not as foe. And for bad deeds, he is Sade Saathi, disaster and an enemy.
As regards the birth of Shani, there are different stories. Foremost and accepted is the one in the ancient ‘Scanda Poorana’ of Kasi Khanda which is as follows.
God Soorya was married to Daksha Kanya Sadnya. Sadnya could not tolerate the radiance of God Surya. She used to feel that by doing penance she could increase her brilliance. Or, by the power of her penance, she could diminish the glare of God Surya. But for God Surya, she was a spouse worshipping wife. From God Surya, she had three children. One was Vaivastahva Manu. The second was Yama Raj. And the third was Yamuna. Sadnya loved her children very much. But, she was very upset with the radiance of God Surya. One day, she thought that she would separate from God Surya, go to her parents’ home and undertake great penance. And if there was opposition, she would go far away to a lonely and undertake great penance.
By strength of her penance, Sadnya created a ‘Chaya’ (shadow) of herself and named her Suvarna. And, and then the shadow of herself became Suvarna. After handing over the children to Chaya, Sadnya told her that Chaya would thereafter play the role of womanhood and nurse her three children. She told her if any problem arose, she should call her and she would come rushing to her. But she cautioned her that she must remember that she was Chaya, not Sadnya, and nobody should know this difference.
Sadnya hander over her responsibilities to Chaya and went away to her parents’ place.
She went home and told her father that she could not stand the radiance of God Surya. And therefore, without telling her husband she had come away. Listening to this, her father scolded her very much and told her that without being called, if the daughter returns home, both her and her father would be cursed. He told her to go back to her home immediately. Then, Saudnya began to worry that if she went back, what would happen to the responsibilities which she had given to Chaya. Where would Chaya go?
And their secret would be exposed. So, Sadnya went to the dense jungles in Uttar Kurukshetra and took repose there.
She was fearful of her safety in the jungle because of her youthfulness and beauty. And she changed her form into that of a mare so that none could recognize her and started her penance. Elsewhere, the union of God Surya and Chaya begot three children. God Surya and Chaya were happy with each other. Surya never doubted anything. The children of Chaya were Manu, God Shani and Putri Bhadra (Tapti).
As per the second story, the creation of God Shani was the result of Maharishi Kashyap’s great ‘yagna’. When God Shani was in the womb of Chaya, Shiv Bhaktini Chaya was so engrossed in penance of God Shiva that she did not care for her food even.
She prayed so intensely during her penance that the prayers had a profound influence on the child in her womb. As a result of such a great penance of Chaya, without food and shade in the blazing sun, the complexion of God Shani became black. When God Shani was born, Surya was surprised to see his dark complexion. He began to doubt Chaya. He insulted Chaya by saying that this was not his son.
From birth itself, God Shani had inherited the great powers of his mother’s penance.
He saw that his father was insulting his mother. He saw his father with a cruel gaze. As a result his father’s body was charred black. The horses of God Surya’s chariot stopped. The chariot would not move. Worried, God Surya called out to God Shiva. God Shiva advised God Surya and explained to him about what had happened. That is, because of him the respect of mother and child had been tarnished and insulted. God Surya accepted his fault and apologized. And regained his earlier glorious looks and the power of his chariot’s horses. Since then, God Shani became a good son to his father and mother and an ardent disciple of God Shiva.

NAVRATRI UTSAV --2010 Navratri Fasting Explained
Navratri 2010 starts today and most Hindu have already started their fast. So we thought about coming up with an article about explaining how the Navratri fast is done and also how the scriptures say it should be done. However it is important to point out that this is not a definite and compulsory way to fast for Maa Durga and your fast can vary depending on your health, means and physical capabilities.If you choose to go for the strict Navaratri fasting, then only fruits and water must be consumed during the 9 days of fast. Flour and grains are not allowed. It is also important to note that only one meal consisting of fruits and water is to be taken. Well as I said this method is the most strict one but many people will not be able to follow it due to work, health problem and also due to our daily life trend.
Alternatively, the most common way to fast for Navaratri is to eat only vegetarian food (but avoid grains) and flour based product for those who will feel weak due to health reason or those who are not used to the fast. Also drink lot of water!
Navaratri Puja
The first Navratri puja must be done early morning on the first day itself. The usual trend is to clean the house and take a shower and then offer prayer both in the morning and evening on the 9 days. A lamp must be kept lighted during the 9 days. Below are the steps to offer the prayer as illustrated by the holy books but it is not a must to completely abide to these.
1. Offer water thrice to Maa Durga Murti or Picture
2. 6 times offer Pancha Amrit
3. Offer water twice
4. Clean the Murti
5. Offer Kum Kum rice, flower and fruits while reciting the holy mantra ‘Aum Aim Hring Kleeng Chamundaye, Vichchey”.
6. Do artii using wicks dipped in Ghee
The above is to be repeated on the 9 days. Pious Navaratri to everyone celebrating it.

Story of Shiva and Vishnu
“There are two mahaa-phala daayaka Vrukshas. One by the name Vaasudeva and the other by the name Vaamadeva. They differ only in their sumas (flowers) (‘su’ is replaced by ‘ma’ in their names), but both give the same phalas (fruits, which is moksham)”. It is also often said, “How much one does not see the difference between Shiva and Vishnu, that much his aayu will increase”.
One day, when Lakshmi and Vishnu were together in vihaaram, Lakshmi sees Ucchaishravam, her brother, the horse of Revanta who is the son of Surya. Engrossed in seeing her brother, she does not reply to the repeated calls of Vishnu. Seeing her attraction, Vishnu gives her shaapam to go to Bhulokam in the form of a horse and come back to Vaikuntam only after getting a son equal to Himself! She comes to Bhuloka to experience the shaapam and realizing that none other than her brother, Shiva can help her calm Vishnu, she immediately does a tapas for Him and Shiva appears to save her soodari. Lakshmi says “You and Vishnu are both same, the Paramaatma. Please help me!”. Shiva says “Soodari! How do you know that we both are same? All learned people know that. Who told you?”. Lakshmi says, “Once Mahavishnu Himself told me this. Seeing Him in deep Daiva-dhyaanam, I asked Him “During Samudramanthanam, I thought you were the greatest of all and hence chose you. Devaadideva! Who is better than you that you are in dhyaanam of Him?”. Mahavishnu replied “I am doing Shankara-dhyaanam. He is Eshwara. He is the same as Me. All learned people know that. If someone is my devotee but still hates Shiva, he will fall into naraka”.
Saying this, She asks Shiva to pursuade Vishnu to bless Her with a child. Shiva sends Chitrarupa as a duta to convince Vishnu. Vishnu immediately accepts and comes to Bhuloka and blesses Lakshmi with Ekaveera, who is equal to Vishnu Himself. From Ekaveera came forth the Haihaya dynasty, of which the most noted king is Kartavirya Arjuna (Ekaveera’s grandson).

Ganesha Tales
In the Ganapathi Upanishad, Ganesha is identified with the Supreme Self. The legends that are connected with Lord Ganesha are recorded in the Ganesha Khanda of the 'Brahma Vivartha Purana.' Here are two such popular stories - 'The Curse of the Moon' and 'Who is Elder?'
The Curse of the Moon
It is said that anyone who looks at the moon on the night of the Ganesh Chaturthi will be falsely accused. If someone inadvertently sees the moon on this night, he/she may remedy the situation by listening to (or reciting) the story of the syamantaka jewel found in the 'Puranas' or ancient Hindu scriptures. Briefly, Satrajit, who secured a jewel syamantaka from Surya, did not part with it even when Krishna the Lord of Dwaraka, asked for it saying it would be safe with him. Prasena, the brother of Satrajit went out hunting wearing the jewel but was killed by a lion. Jambavan of the Ramayana fame killed the lion and gave it to his son to play with. When Prasena did not return, Satrajit falsely accused Krishna of killing Prasena for the sake of the jewel. Krishna, in order to remove the stain on his reputation, set out in search of the jewel and found it in Jambavan's cave, with his child. Jambavan attacked Krishna thinking him to be an intruder who had come to take away the jewel. They fought each other for 28 days, when Jambavan, his whole body terribly weakened from the hammering of Krishna's fists, finally recognized Him as Lord Rama.
As a repentance for his having fought Krishna, Jambavan gave Krishna the jewel and also his daughter Jambavati in marriage. Krishna returned to Dvaraka with Jambavati and the jewel, and returned it to Satrajit, who in turn repented for his false accusation. He promptly offered to give Krishna the jewel and his daughter Satyabhama in marriage. Krishna accepted Satyabhama as his wife but did not accept the jewel.
Who is Elder?
Ganesha and His brother Lord Subramanya (Kartikya) once had a dispute as to who was the elder of the two. The matter was referred to Lord Shiva for final decision. Shiva decided that whoever would make a tour of the whole world and come back first to the starting point had the right to be the elder. Subramanya flew off at once on his vehicle, the peacock, to make a circuit of the world. But the wise Ganesha went, in loving worshipfulness, around His divine parents and asked for the prize of His victory.
Lord Shiva said, "Beloved and wise Ganesha! But how can I give you the prize; you did not go around the world?"
Ganesha replied, "No, but I have gone around my parents. My parents represent the entire manifested universe!"
Thus the dispute was settled in favour of Lord Ganesha, who was thereafter acknowledged as the elder of the two brothers. Mother Parvati also gave Him a fruit as a prize for this victory.

Suryanamaskar
Suryanamaskar (an ancient Indian yoga) is the art of solar vitalization. It is a complete meditative technique in itself as it includes Asanas, Pranayama, Mantras and Mudras. It has got three aspects: form, vital energy and rhythm. It is the easiest way for a person to get used to Yoga. It should be done along with chanting of mantras in every posture. In simple words, Suryanamaskar is a combination of 12 different postures, followed in a particular sequence with a specific breathing pattern. It helps an individual to vitalize and unblock the whole system. It reduces fat from almost all parts of the body, as it stretches each and every muscle and tones it.
Wash your face & hands after waking up. Then go to a place where you can stand facing the rising Sun. Fold your hands as in "Namaste". With your eyes closed, pray silently to Lord Sun -
" Hey Surya Dev , Mera Pranaam sweekar karen , Samasta Bhaagya Janit Sankaton Se meri raksha karen"
( O Lord Sun , Salutation to you . Please protect me from all ill effects that fate may have in store for me).
You can keep a small carpet or piece of cloth to stand on. But it should be clean & kept safely after the entire activity is over.
There are 12 names of lord Sun, that need to be chanted during the entire exercise. One name/prayer before commencement of each round. Each round consists of 12 postures/positions and there are 12 rounds.

Lord Ganesha And The Fruit Of Self Realization
The fruit of self realization is for the one who is centered. A popular Hindu story about Lord Ganesha conveys the truth.
Saint Narada once handed over a mango to Shiva and Parvati. He said that it was a special mango which would bestow eternal wisdom on whoever savours it. There was also a hitch that the mango should not be shared and had to be consumed by one person. Though Shiva and Parvati wanted to handover it over to either of their sons Ganesha and Karthikeya, they were perplexed as to whom they should give it.
Narada stepped in and suggested a solution to the issue. He said that the mango can be given to the one who first succeeds in going around the world thrice . Shiva and Parvati consented to Narada's suggestion. Karthikeya immediately mounted his peacock and set out to accomplish the mission. Lord Ganesha on the other hand simply circumambulated his parents thrice and requested the fruit to be given to him.
When demanded an explanation, Lord Ganesha humbly said that his parents were his world and that no other world existed apart from them.
Respect for parents would be the moral of the story on the superficial level. However the very essence of the story stretches beyond the superficially portrayed moral.
It is a fact that eternal wisdom or self realization (the mango) can be cherished only when one is centred in the truth (Siva and Parvati) and nothing exists apart from the truth. A mind (the act of Karthikeya) that is focused in the outer world is incapable of attaining the truth. An inward turned mind (Lord Ganesha) that is in constant communion with the truth is that which is capable of realising the truth or attaining wisdom.
Lord Ganesha in thus short story reveals the fact that self realization can be attained only with one's vision focused inwards.
