A DAY OUT WITH MY DAD...
Namasthe to everyone and wish you a very happy Ganesh Chaturthi....it is the auspicious day on which Lord Ganesha was born....so I thought on behalf of his birthday why not write something relating to him....

This story is about when Ganesha and his father Lord Shiva had a day out on his birthday. It depicts the young Ganesha who is curious about this new world and also confused.......it is fictional but all the characters and relations are from Mythology.....

>>>>>

It was Ganesha's birthday. He completed his daily routine and went to the kitchen as he was very hungry but he didn't find his mother. He heard chantings from the shrine. He knew the voice. It was his mother and he was also aware of what she must be doing.

He walked towards the shrine only to find Goddess Parvathi praying to Shivling showing her back towards him. He slowly moved towards her and sat beside her praying along with her. As she was done with the rituals she opened her eyes and found her son sitting beside her praying. She couldn't hold but smile. The young Ganesha looked cute.

Soon Ganesha did his prayer and opened his eyes and found his mother who was smiling at him. As Parvathi got up taking the pooja thali,he too got up and touched her feet taking her blessings
"pranaam Maa"

she blessed him by putting her hand gently on his head....

"Ayushmaan bhava putra....."and wished him on his birthday.

"I have prepared your favorite dishes come you might be feeling hungry " she said as she started moving.

Ganesha exchanged glances between his mother and the Shivling. He was curious about something which he wanted to ask and today he decided to ask her.

"Maa... I have something to ask....Pithaji is your husband right!??,then why don't you offer Pooja to him directly rather than to a Shivling which is a resemblance of him??"

She knew her son's curiousity and his logical sense...she halt there and turned around. She came and kneeling down to his level keeping the thali aside,"Of course Putra.... I can but I don't want to. Because in physical form Mahadev is my husband, in the spiritual form he is my soul's counter part,in the emotional state he is my friend and guru but in Shivling he is God. I don't want to...
