7 Untold Stories About Lord Ganesha You Never Heard Before!

But do you know the secrets behind his tusk, wisdom, and curse? Let’s dive into 7 fascinating stories you never knew!

Ganesh Ji is the remover of obstacles...

The Broken Tusk Mystery

Why does Ganesh have ONE tusk? Once, he broke his tusk to continue writing the Mahabharata when his pen broke! A true sign of sacrifice for wisdom.

The First Writer of Mahabharata

Vyasa needed someone to write the epic Mahabharata. Ganesh agreed—but with a condition: Vyasa must recite without pause! That’s why Ganesh is the first scribe of history.

The Race Around the World

Kartikeya and Ganesh had a race— Whoever circles the world first wins! Kartikeya flew off, but Ganesh circled his parents saying: ‘They are my world.’ Wisdom over speed!

The Curse That Became a Blessing

Once, a sage cursed Ganesh that he would be worshipped first in every puja. Strange, right? But that’s why we start every ritual with ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya!

The Moon’s Laughter

On Ganesh Chaturthi, never look at the moon! The moon once laughed at Ganesh’s big belly— He cursed it, making it inauspicious to see the moon that day!

Ganesh and the Mango of Knowledge

Shiva and Parvati had a magical mango of wisdom. They told their sons to compete for it. Ganesh won by simply walking around his parents, proving they were his universe.

How Ganesh Got His Elephant Head

Parvati created Ganesh from sandalwood paste. Shiva, not knowing, beheaded him in anger. To revive him, Shiva replaced the head with an elephant’s— Thus was born our beloved Ganpati!
