Do you know why the “Elephant God” Ganesh, MAY NOT be actually an “Elephant God”?

Read on…

“There are a few more reasonings why Shiva could be an alien. Shiva’s friends were deformed beings. You would find them all around Shiva: dwarfs, yaskshas, ganas. Apparently, because they came from other planets. The ‘Ganas’ had lots of limbs without any bones. They were quite hideous. It is believed that Shiva took the form of a resplendent human form. Otherwise, he was also a hideous being like his companions.

He came and went, for more than 15000 years. As Shiva has been in mention all throughout the Indian history. “It is said that Shiva abandoned Parvati (probably a human) in Lake Manasarover for over 10 years. He went off somewhere. So, lonely and dejected, and with her desire and maternal instinct, Parvati decided to create and breathe life into a baby. She took a part of herself, a bit of sandal paste that was on her body, mixed it with the soil, made it in the form of a baby and breathed life into it.

This may sound mythical and you may laugh at it, but today test-tube babies, IVF babies, surrogacy are all household concepts.

It is similar to someone taking an epithelial cell from you, in a very near future, and making a human out of it. Just the way we use animal stem cells today to make ‘Beyond Meat’!

So, Parvathi breathed life into it, and a little boy was born. A few years later, when the boy was about 10 years old, Shiva returned with his ganas.

The mythology tale goes like this: Parvathi was having a bath, and she had told the little boy that no one should come in. The boy had never seen Shiva, so when he came, the boy stopped him. Shiva was not willing to be stopped, so He cut the boy’s head off and came to Parvathi.

When Parvathi saw her son lying there headless, she flew into a rage. Shiva tried to convince her by saying that the boy was not really her son, “After all, you made him up and I closed him. So, what is the problem?” But she was hysterical.

To settle the issue, Shiva took the head of one of the ganas and placed it on the boy and resurrected him. This boy is called and worshipped by Hindus all over the world as Ganapati, or Ganesh. Ganesh Chaturthi is the day this head transplant happened. Because he took the head off the leader of the ganas and put it on this boy, he said, “From now, you are a Ganapati. You are the head of Ganas.” The face had a boneless limb, not a trunk of the elephant, as you may want to notice.

This mythical story makes a lot of sense because you may not find an elephant on the banks of Manasarovar, up in the Himalayas, where the terrain and climate are not right. There is not even enough vegetation for an elephant. Which is why it makes perfect sense that an elephant could not have been on the way of Shiva at this time, whose head He could have cut off and placed on the little boy’s shoulders, as believed in mythology.

Somewhere down the ages, calendar artists could not understand what this other creature was, and drew an elephant’s face. The lore talks about how the ‘gana’s had limbs without bones. In the land of the Hindus, a limb without bones meant an elephant trunk, so artists made it into an elephant head. Hence, the god with a head that looks like an elephant, is actually called Ganapati, Ganesha, or Vinayaka. You will notice that he is not called Gajapati (Gaja = Elephant, pati = king/master).
