To understand Nature, Heal the Mankind
Once upon a time, there was a very fierce demon king – Gajmukh. He wanted to become very powerful and have money. At the same time, he wanted to subdue all the gods and goddesses, so he always did penance for a boon from Lord Shiva. To get a boon from Shiva, he left his kingdom and started living in the forest, and to get the boon from Shiva, he started doing penance night and day without drinking water.
A few years passed, Shivaji was impressed seeing his immense tenacity and Shiva appeared in front of him. Shivaji was pleased and gave him divine powers, which made him very powerful. The biggest strength that Shiva gave him was that he could not be killed by any weapon. Asura Gajmukh became proud of his powers and started misusing his powers and started attacking the deities.
Only Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma and Ganesha were saved from his terror. Gajmukh wanted every deity to worship him. All the gods reached the shelter of Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma ji and started pleading for the protection of their lives. Seeing all this, Shiva sent Ganesha to stop the demon Gajmukh from doing all this.
Ganesh ji fought with Gajmukh and badly injured the demon Gajmukh. But even then he did not agree. The demon transformed himself into a mouse and ran to attack Ganesha. As soon as he reached near Ganesh ji, Ganesh ji jumped and sat on top of him and Ganesh ji changed Gajmukh into a mouse for life and kept it as his vehicle for life.
Later Gajmukh was also pleased with this form and also became a dear friend of Ganesha.
Life is full of many strange aspects that are beyond human comprehension. ‘Never take life seriously, no one gets out alive’ is an oft-heard and good one-liner that inspires people to be positive about life and makes you laugh.
