The story of Lord Vinayaka
The following story is narrated about the birth and how He came to have an elephant head. Once upon a time Godess Shakthi wanted to take bath in Her home after creating Lord Ganesh out of white mud by Her spiritual. She put Him as a security and told Him not to allow any body inside. Lord Shiva was returning home and stopped by Lord Vinayaka. Lord Shiva got angry and cut off his head as He thought Lord Vinayaka was an outsider. When Godess Shakthi came to know this she was sorely grieved. To console Her Lord Shiva ordered His servants to bring a head of any creature that might be sleeping its head facing north. The servants went on their mission and found only an elephant in that position. The sacrifice was thus made and the elephant's head was brought before Lord Shiva. The Lord then joined the elephant's head to the body of Lord Vinayaka. Lord Shiva made His son worthy of worship at the beginning of all undertakings, marriages, studies, etc. He ordained the annual worship of Lord Vinayaka.
