gajAnanA's birth and nAgabandha
This was supposed to have been written a week ago. Better late than never! There are several stories as to how vinAyaka was born. Of course, the most popular one is that of pArvati kneading a human shape out of the sandal paste on her body and breathing life into it and asking that male child to guard while she was taking her bath. In the mean while Siva appears there and was refused entry into his own house.
