A scar on the elephant 's head God like' boy 's manga that remains in' Ganesha '

I knew that "Ganesha is the God of Hindu elephant" whether the book "Elephant Elephant" was a big hit and dramaized. Overseas, there were Ganesh in countries such as India, Nepal, Singapore and Thailand. But I did not know. No way, there was a surprising secret on that gentle face ....

About Ganesha


Ganesha is one of the Gods of Hinduism, the son of Shiva who is the 3 major gods of Hinduism. It was born after collecting plaques that came out when Shiva 's wife, Pearl Vaty washing his body, was blown with life. It was a human head at this time. Paul Vati orders Ganesha to "Do not put strangers in the bathroom." Just Shiva is coming home, but Ganesha who does not know anything stubbornly refused to enter Shiva. Shiva, who has been sharply higher at the end of the interchange with "passing" and "passing through", cuts off the head of Ganesha and throws his head to a distance. Shiva, who was accused of Paul Vatie "What did you do to the real son", goes out looking for the head, but I can not find my head. After suffering, we cut off the neck of the elephant we met at the destination and install it as a head of Ganesha. Under the circumstances, Ganesha with the head of the elephant was born.

Ganesha is widely believed as a god of business, god of academics. Ganesha 's thumb - belly like the seven lucky god bags is certainly auspicious. In addition to South Africa where Hinduism is prosperous, there were Ganesh in the country where Indian residents such as Singapore and Malaysia live. I remember the Ganesha related goods were also placed in the Indian store which I dropped in New Zealand.

Ganesha I found in India.


Pink Ganesha where a shrine was made on the wall.


It was discovered in the eaves of a Singaporean greengrocer.


Even Thailand is the subject of faith.


When I suddenly wake up on WikipediaGaneshaI was reading the article, but I am struck by the description that "one of my fangs is broken." Looking back on the photographs of Ganesha so far, the fangs were certainly broken. If you know that fact now, please also review the above picture. One of the two fangs is broken apart.

Garnesha of the topic "Elephant Elephant" was the same.

Like a cheek cross and a breast carved Big Dipper, Ganesha broken fang which also leads to Japanese boys' manga. The reason for this has been drawn in myths transmitted to India. There are some theories, but if you mention the famous ones ... ...

· Viasa, the author of Indian scripture 'Mahabharata', was unable to write letters. So Ganesha instead wrote down his words and folded his fangs and left a record with his fangs. For these reasons it is worshiped as an academic god.

· One snake passed by a gunshire striding the mouse on the way home on a moonlit night. The rat surprised by the snake revolved, shook off Ganesha, and Ganesha's fang broke with shock. Ganesha who did not care about the whole thing caused a tantrum, "What is laughing" and threw a broken fang in the moon. As a result, it seems that the moon has become frustrating.

And such a story has been told.


Even if one of the fangs is broken, getting a ganache object, please note that it is not a defective item but a specification.

Indian people and cats
It is India where stray dogs were barely caught, but almost no stray cats were seen. The reason was "Ganesha's rides are rats". Realistically it is impossible for a small rat to put a big elephant, but since it is God, I will do it without difficulty. There is also a story called rat to show the supernatural that makes impossible possible. It is also awkward for a cat to catch a rat, a ride of God, by a cat. That is why cats are unpopular in India and few stray cats.

That's why there are rats at the feet of Ganesha.


◆ God's rides
Not only Ganesha's rats, but also Hindu godsVahanaWe have each of the vehicles called. 3 Vishnu of Ogami is an eagle called Garuda, a bluffmer is a white goose named Hansa. This setting is also attracted to like a Japanese cartoon. The one of the three Ogami, the father of Ganesha, Shiva's ride was a white bull called Nandin. The Hindu cattle worship comes from here.

In India, cows were walking in the street as usual.


◆ Thailand and India
Although this Ganesha, somehow it is the subject of faith even in Thailand. It was also Thailand that I saw Ganesha for the first time overseas. Although I did not mind so much, after traveling in India, I am concerned about the commonality between Thailand and India.

Ganesha is also being believed ... ...


It is a ride of Vishnu of the Hindu 3 Third Great GodGarudaIs ThaiNational emblemIt is also becoming.


In front of the camera of immigration in India, there was a seal of namaste that combined wrinkles and wrinkles in your hands. "Looking at the yesterday camera, 3, 2, 1, Namaste" shutter was cut ... It was my delusion, but the pose of Namaste was familiar in India. Actually, Thai people say hello with the same pose "Wai".

Namaste of India.


Wai in Thailand. The word of greeting itself is "Sawasdee".


Even Japanese people take the same action when asking or appreciation, but since India and Thailand have become daily greetings, the atmosphere was slightly different.

Another, near BangkokWhen visiting Hell Temple, I also looked into Thai view of life and death. There are many people who believe in reincarnation, and the act of accumulating tampons (virtues) for the next life is rooted in the society of Thailand. Meanwhile, India is a society in which reincarnation is rooted, a status systemCast systemEven its remnant. There are many vegetarians in India, too, if a familiar person is incompatible with animals, it seems that the thought of the Ring Reincarnation is affecting.

◆ Write an article
There are only Gods in India looking like an Indian person.


I have a blue face, but I wonder if it is sick.


The relief of the temple seems to be the commercial of famous sheds and it is lively and it is lively.


And in India to Hinduism who did not think deeply, when examining various things when writing such an article, it seemed quite a deep thing. I tried writing it like it, but it was full of plunges and I wanted to find time and study.Seven Lucky GodIt seems that there are people from India who are also Gods of Japan.
