Bhagwan Ganapati or Ganesha is one of the most worshipped deities in India. As per the legend, King Abhijeet and his wife Gunavati had a son named Ganasura. He was a strong but greedy prince. Once, Ganasura visited the Ashram of Sage Kapila. The Sage showed great hospitality with the help of the Chintamani stone that he possessed. Ganasura came to know about the stone and wanted to acquire it. However, Sage Kapila refused his offer. Enraged, Ganasura forcibly took away the stone. Sage Kapila took advice from Goddess Durga and requested Lord Ganesha’s help. The Lord fought a battle with Ganasura under a Kadamba tree and defeated him. He took back the Chintamani to the Sage, who gifted the stone back to Lord Ganesha as an honor. The precious stone was hung around the neck of Ganesha and hence, he came to be known as Lord Chintamani. The word Ashtvinayaka is a Sanskrit word that means Eight Ganeshas. These eight temples are located in different places, and all of them are considered ‘Swayambhu’ or self-originated. These deities are “jagrut,” which means they fulfill the wishes of their devotees.  भगवान गणपति या गणेश भारत में सबसे अधिक पूजे जाने वाले देवताओं में से एक हैं।  पौराणिक कथा के अनुसार, राजा अभिजीत और उनकी पत्नी गुणवती का गणसुर नाम का एक पुत्र था। वह एक मजबूत लेकिन लालची राजकुमार था। एक बार, गणसुर ने ऋषि कपिला के आश्रम का दौरा किया। ऋषि ने अपने पास मौजूद चिंतामणि पत्थर की मदद से बहुत आतिथ्य दिखाया। गणसुर को पत्थर के बारे में पता चला और वह इसे हासिल करना चाहता था। हालांकि, ऋषि कपिला ने उनके प्रस्ताव को अस्वीकार कर दिया। क्रोधित होकर गणसुर ने जबरन पत्थर छीन लिया। ऋषि कपिला ने देवी दुर्गा से सलाह ली और भगवान गणेश से मदद मांगी। भगवान ने कदंब के पेड़ के नीचे गणसुर के साथ युद्ध किया और उसे हरा दिया। वह चिंतामणि को ऋषि के पास वापस ले गया, जिन्होंने सम्मान के रूप में भगवान गणेश को पत्थर वापस उपहार में दिया था। कीमती पत्थर गणेश के गले में लटका हुआ था और इसलिए, उन्हें भगवान चिंतामणि के नाम से जाना जाने लगा। अष्टविनायक शब्द संस्कृत का शब्द है जिसका अर्थ है आठ गणेश। ये आठ मंदिर अलग-अलग जगहों पर स्थित हैं, और इन सभी को 'स्वयंभू' माना जाता है। ये देवता "जागृत" हैं, जिसका अर्थ है कि वे अपने भक्तों की इच्छाओं को पूरा करते हैं। Learn more about your ad choices.
