some of the most popular and beloved stories of Lord Ganesh

Birth of Lord Ganesh

Story: Goddess Parvati created Ganesh from sandalwood paste and breathed life into him. She assigned him to guard her while she bathed. When Lord Shiva returned and was stopped by Ganesh, Shiva, unaware of who he was, severed his head in anger. On learning the truth, Shiva replaced the head with that of an elephant and blessed Ganesh to be the lord of beginnings.

Moral: Obedience, devotion, and that even great beings make mistakes and correct them with love

Why Ganesh Has a Broken Tusk

There are two popular versions:

Writing the Mahabharata: Ganesh broke his tusks to use them as a pen when the original quill broke, while writing the epic as sage Vyasa dictated it.

Parashurama’s Visit: Ganesh blocked sage Parashurama from meeting Shiva. In a fit of rage, Parashurama hurled his axe at Ganesh. Out of respect for the weapon (a gift from Shiva), Ganesh allowed it to strike him, breaking his tusks.

Moral: Sacrifice for a greater cause; humility and respect.

Ganesh and the Race Around the World

Story: Ganesh and Kartikeya once competed to circle the world three times. Kartikeya set off on his peacock. Ganesh, instead, circled his parents, Shiva and Parvati, declaring them his entire world.

Moral: Intelligence and wisdom can win over speed. Parents are our world.

Ganesh and the Modak

Story: Once the Devas gave a divine Modak (sweet) to Shiva and Parvati, meant for the wisest child. Ganesha proved his wisdom by explaining the meaning of true devotion and thus received the Modak.

Moral: True wisdom lies in understanding devotion and love.

How Ganesh Got His Mouse Vehicle (Mushika Vahana)

Story: A celestial musician named Krauncha, cursed to become a giant mouse, wreaked havoc until Ganesh subdued him. The mouse pleaded for mercy and was made Ganesh's vehicle.

Moral: Even the mighty can be compassionate, and every being has a purpose.

Ganesh and the Moon (Chandra)

Story: One night, Ganesh was riding his mouse when he fell due to the mouse stumbling. The moon laughed at him. Ganesh cursed the moon, saying anyone who sees it on Ganesh Chaturthi will face bad luck.

Moral: Arrogance leads to downfall; mocking others brings karma.

Ganesh as the Scribe of the Mahabharata

Story: Sage Vyasa wanted someone to write down the Mahabharata as he recited it. Ganesh agreed on the condition that Vyasa would not pause. In return, Vyasa set the condition that Ganesh must understand every verse before writing.

Moral: Patience, understanding, and teamwork create great achievements.

Five beautiful stories related to Raksha Bandhan

1. Krishna and Draupadi – The Eternal Bond

Source: Mahabharata

One of the most famous Raksha Bandhan stories comes from the epic Mahabharata. Once, Lord Krishna injured his finger while using the Sudarshan Chakra. Seeing him bleed, Draupadi tore a piece of her sari and tied it to his finger to stop the bleeding. Touched by her gesture, Krishna vowed to protect her always — and later, during the disrobing incident in the Kaurava court, he miraculously saved Draupadi’s honor, fulfilling his promise.

2. Rani Karnavati and Emperor Humayun – A Historical Rakhi

Source: Indian History, 16th century

When Rani Karnavati of Chittor realized her kingdom was under threat from Bahadur Shah, she sent a rakhi to Mughal Emperor Humayun, seeking protection. Touched by the symbolic gesture, Humayun immediately marched his army to defend her kingdom. Though he arrived late, the story highlights the power of Raksha Bandhan to transcend religion and politics.

3. Yama and Yamuna – The Bond Beyond Death

Source: Puranic Legends

The God of Death, Yama, had a twin sister named Yamuna. She tied a rakhi to him and wished for his immortality. In return, Yama was so touched that he granted her immortality too and declared that any brother who accepts a rakhi from his sister and promises to protect her would also live long. This story is why many regions still call Raksha Bandhan "Yamadvitiya".

4. Rabindranath Tagore’s Rakhi Movement

Source: Indian Freedom Struggle, 1905

During the Partition of Bengal in 1905, Rabindranath Tagore used Raksha Bandhan as a tool to promote unity among Hindus and Muslims. He encouraged people to tie rakhis to one another across religious lines, symbolizing brotherhood and solidarity against British rule. This remains a powerful example of how a cultural tradition was used for national integration.

5. The Soldier and the Stranger – A Modern Tale

Source: Contemporary India

Every year, women across India visit army posts and tie rakhis to soldiers, calling them brothers. One such heartwarming incident occurred when a young woman from Punjab wrote to an Indian Army jawan stationed at the border, thanking him for protecting the country. They had never met, but on Raksha Bandhan, she traveled to meet him and tied a rakhi. They continue to share a sibling bond till today — a true example of love without blood relation.

Importance of Sravanamasam for indian women

Śrāvaṇa Māsam (Sravana Month), also known as Sawan in North India, is one of the most spiritually significant months in the Hindu calendar. It typically falls during July–August, aligning with the arrival of the monsoon season. For Indian women, especially in South India (like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu), this month holds deep religious, cultural, and spiritual importance.

Month of Auspicious Vratas and Pujas

Women observe several vratas (fasts) like:

Mangala Gauri Vratam (Tuesdays) – for marital bliss and the well-being of their husbands.

Varalakshmi Vratam (Friday before full moon) – to invoke the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi for wealth, prosperity, and family welfare.

Shani Trayodashi and Putrada Ekadashi – observed by some for family health and children’s wellbeing.

Naag Panchami – to worship serpent deities and seek protection for the family.
