In a peaceful kingdom by gentle hills lived a wise king and queen,
Their name was Sheetha and Parvati.
Their palace stood among gardens and flowers with birds singing every morning.
One night Parvati felt a wish in her heart.
She wanted a child to share love and laughter in the quiet palace.
She prayed softly,
Lighting tiny lamps.
The river and the moon were listening,
And the next morning a boy was born.
They named him Ganesha.
He had a bright smile,
Laughter that danced in the air,
And a heart full of curiosity.
Every day Ganesha followed his mother around the palace.
He loved to help her clean,
Cook,
And decorate the halls.
He made flowers for her hair and arranged leaves in patterns on the floor.
He was gentle,
Thoughtful,
And full of light.
Sheetha watched his son with quiet pride.
Parvati blessed him with kind words and a playful wink.
But Ganesha had one dream he wanted a brother or sister to play with.
He would tell the world above if he could,
But he was too shy.
One day Sheetha returned from a long journey,
He said in the palace garden.
Under a wide tree,
He closed his eyes to meditate calm and steady.
Parvati prepared for their family time together.
She arranged food,
Light,
And soft breeze around them.
But before Sheetha entered,
He gently said to Ganesha,
Please,
Guard the door.
Let no one disturb our time together.
Ganesha bowed.
He sat by the door,
Confident and proud.
Sheetha entered,
Smiling but paused.
At the door,
He met his son.
He had not seen the boy in years.
He did not know his son yet.
Ganesha said firmly,
Father,
I must not let anyone in.
Sheetha smiled,
Faded.
He tried to enter.
But Ganesha blocked him.
Sheetha spoke gently.
Ganesha stood firm.
Sheetha's eyes widened in surprise and grief.
He realized he could not pass.
Sheetha felt deep pain,
His heart cracked in confusion and sorrow.
Without warning,
A powerful wave of energy rushed.
In a single moment,
Ganesha fell.
Parvati heard the sound and rushed to the door.
But the boy was gone.
The palace grew quiet,
Heavy with laws.
Parvati closed her eyes in grief.
The birds stopped singing.
The flowers seemed to weep.
Sheetha held Parvati's hand.
Their son,
Their bright child,
Was no longer here.
Days passed,
And the palace hushed.
Sheetha and Parvati prayed to the skies and the earth.
Then,
Among the gods,
They heard a whisper.
Search beyond this world.
They found a powerful being.
A great elephant without a home.
His name was Gahak.
His heart wise,
Gentle and kind.
Sheetha gently took Gahak's head and placed it on Ganesha's body.
In that moment,
Ganesha's eyes opened.
He took a soft breath.
He was alive again.
Ganesha looked at his parents.
He touched his elephant forehead.
He smiled.
Parvati wept.
Not from grief,
But from deep joy.
Sheetha whispered.
You carry life and wisdom now.
You are our beloved son.
You are Ganesha.
The remover of obstacles.
From that day,
Ganesha became special.
He helped travelers cross rivers,
Helped stories start with calm words,
And helped people begin new days with confidence.
Children smiled at his gentle eyes.
Everyone prayed to him before a challenge.
He was known as the remover of obstacles,
Vijnaharta,
And the one who begins Pratamik.
Now,
Dear listener,
Rest in Ganesha's calm.
Feel his gentle wisdom in your heart.
Know that if you feel stuck or afraid,
His soft guidance is with you,
Helping your mind open,
Helping your path clear.
Take a slow breath in,
And softly breathe out.
You are safe.
You are loved.
You are never alone.
Good night,
Gentle soul.
