[one-tusked-claymation]

Hello everyone, I'm Ganesha, a Fortune and Wisdom God from the Hindu Pantheon, and the leader of the Ganas.

I'm the son of @parvati-wife-of-destroyer and @press-shivt-blookie, and the brother of @hansome-est-godofwar, Ashokasundari, Manasa, and @boy-with-a-bell

As for my wife/wives, Vinayaki is my Shakti and wife, and takes on various forms, often simultaneously. Riddhi, Siddhi, Buddhi, the Ashtasiddhis, all are different aspects of the same Goddess.

Anyways, always feel free to HMU in the asks if you need anything, or if you've got any sweets you want to share.

[das-jaim3]

Hi, Hello, I recently had the urge to make an 'OC' of a Hindu god for RoR and then thought;

Imma give you a list and explanation about Shivas children! In a sense everyone is his child, given his deity/god status, but I mean his actual kids.

The eight Children of Lord Shiva

1/ Ganesha;

Ganesha, elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, who is traditionally worshipped before any major enterprise and is the patron of intellectuals, bankers, scribes, and authors.

His name means both “Lord of the People” (gana means the common people) and “Lord of the Ganas” (Ganesha is the chief of the ganas, the goblin hosts of Shiva). Ganesha is potbellied and generally depicted as holding in his hand a few round Indian sweets, of which he is inordinately fond.

His vahana is the large Indian bandicoot rat, which symbolizes Ganesha’s ability to overcome anything to get what he wants. Like a rat and like an elephant, Ganesha is a remover of obstacles. The 10-day late-summer (August–September) festival Ganesh Chaturthi is devoted to him.

Many different stories are told about the birth of Ganesha, including one in which Parvati makes her son out of a piece of cloth and asks her consort, Shiva, to bring him to life.

One of the best-known myths, however, begins with Parvati taking a bath and longing for someone to keep Shiva from barging in on her, as was his habit. As she bathes, she kneads the dirt that she rubs off her body into the shape of a child, who comes to life. But when Shiva sees the handsome young boy he or one of his attendants cuts off the child’s head.

When Shiva, to fix his mistake after Parvati yelled at him, cuts off an elephant’s head to bestow it on the headless Ganesha, one of the tusks is shattered, and Ganesha is depicted holding the broken-off piece in his hand. According to this version of the myth, Ganesha is the child of Parvati alone—indeed, a child born despite Shiva’s negative intervention. Yet Ganesha is traditionally regarded as the child of both Shiva and Parvati.

In some parts of India Ganesha is depicted as celibate, but in others he is said to be married to both Buddhi (“Intelligence”) and Siddhi (“Success”). Yet other traditions give him a third wife, Riddhi (“Prosperity”).

2/ Kartikeya;

Kartikeya, also known as Skanda, Subrahmanya, Shanmukha and Murugan (Tamil: முருகன்), is the Hindu god of war. He is the son of Shiva and Parvati and the brother of Ganesha.

After being begged for help, Shiva decided to take action against Soorapadman's increasing conceit. He frowned and his third eye- the eye of knowledge- started releasing sparks. These were six sparks in total. Agni had the responsibility to take them to Saravana Lake. As he was carrying them, the sparks were growing hotter and hotter that even the Lord of Fire could not withstand the heat.

Soon after Murugan was born on a lotus in the Saravana Lake with six faces, giving him the name Arumukhan. Lord Shiva and Parvati visited and tears of joy started flowing as they witnessed the most handsome child. Shiva and Parvathi gave the responsibility of taking care of Muruga to the six Krittika sisters.

Muruga grew up to be a handsome, intelligent, powerful, clever youth. All the Devas applauded at their saviour, who had finally come to release them from their woes. Murugan became the supreme general of the demi-gods, then escorted the devas and led the army of the devas to victory against the asuras.

3/ Ashok Sundari;

Ashok is not the goddess of anything per say and was simply created to cure Parvatis loneliness.

The birth of Ashokasundari is recorded in the Padma Purana. In one of the variants about tale of Nahusha, Parvati once requested Shiva to take her to the most beautiful garden in the world.

As per her wishes, Shiva took her to Nandanvana, where Parvati saw a tree known as Kalpavriksha. Parvati asked for a daughter from the wish fulfilling tree to get rid of her loneliness. Her wish was granted and Ashokasundari was born.

4/ Ayyappan;

Ayyappan, also known as Dharmasastha and Manikandan, is the Hindu deity of truth and righteousness. His worship is more prevalant in South India. Although devotion to Ayyappan has been prevalent earlier, his popularity rose in the late 20th century. According to Hindu theology, he is the son of Vishnu in the form of Mohini and Shiva thus representing a bridge between Shaivism and Vaishnavism.

As Mahishasura was blessed with invulnerability to all men, the gods had sent goddess Durga, to fight and kill him. Thus, Mahishi began performing a fearsome set of austerities, and pleased the creator god Brahma. She asked for the boon of invulnerability, but Brahma said it was not possible so Mahishi planned and asked invulnerability to all men except by the son of Shiva and Vishnu (Both are male & no possibility to give birth to any one).

He granted her the boon of ruling the universe and being invulnerable except by the son of Shiva and Vishnu. Since such a person did not exist, she thought she was safe and began conquering and plundering the world. The gods implored Shiva and Vishnu to save them from this catastrophe. Vishnu found a possible solution to the problem.

When Vishnu had taken on the Kurma Avatar, he also had to manifest himself as Mohini, the enchantress, to save the nectar of immortality (ambrosia or amrit) from the demons who were not willing to share it with the gods. If he became Mohini again, then the female Mohini and the male Shiva could have the divine child who would combine their powers and beat Mahishi. Some versions give a slightly more detailed version of the union of Shiva with Vishnu.(One of them stating that Shiva simply asked to see Vishnus avatar and was immediately run over by passion once he did.)

5/ Andhaka;

He isn't considered a god per say but seen as the Lord of all Asuras, demons.

While in the mount Mandhar, a baby was born to Parvati and Shiva. Shiva was in a meditating posture and Parvati closed his eyes mischievously from behind. The boy appeared out of Parvati and Shiva’s sweat. Shiva explains to Parvati that since his eyes were closed, the baby was born blind and was called Andhaka (the dark/blind). Since he posed devilish qualities he was called Andhakasur (the blind demon). Hiranyaksh, a troublesome demon did intense penance to please Lord Shiva. Hiranyaksh wanted a son who posses immense powers to rule the world.

Shiva refused to grant such a boon. Instead he offered Andhaka to Hiranyaksh saying that Andhaka posses all the qualities he was looking for, and to treat him as his son. Andhaka wanted more power and did intense penance to please Lord Brahma. Among many things, the boons he asked for included extraordinary vision and immortality. Everything was granted except the immortality. Instead, Lord Brahma asked him to choose when he could die. Andhakasur asked for a boon that he would die only when he aspires for a woman who he should never aspire for. With time Andhakasur turned more materialistic and less interested in austerities.

By this time he has already conquered the world and the heaven. On a pleasure trip he along with his companions lands up in Mount Mandhar where Lord Shiva and Parvati lives. His companions tells of a sage and his beautiful wife. Andhaka sends his companions to bring her along. Shiva explains to them that they are Andhaka’s parents. The companions mistook it for a ploy and compels Andhaka for a fight. Shiva and Parvati will soon play a horrible role in the battlefield in many different forms.

The next morning, Shiva and Parvati's army reached the battlefield with Andhaka's army also vice-versa. Andhaka wants Parvati to be his. Shiva assigns his demon-warrior form Veerbhadra to kill half of Andhaka's army. Veerbhadra managed to kill half of Andhaka's army, but did not manage to kill Andhaka. When Andhaka was bleeding from his hands, arms, legs feet or hands, a new clone of Andhaka appears, Veerbhadra tries again, but failed, Parvati gets outraged to see Andhaka and his clones, so does Lord Shiva, Parvati calls upon the eight Mother Goddesses from her, namely as Brahmani, Vaishnavi, Maheshwari, Kaumari, Indrani, Varahi, Narasinghi and Chamundai to help Veerbhadra in the battlefield.

The eight Mother Goddessses killed the rest Andhaka's army, then they came together, all lined up in the skies watched the battle. Parvati took the form of Goddess Bhadrakali to help Veerbhadra. He slashed Andhaka's clones while Bhadrakali collected their blood and drank it, she also slashed Andhaka's clones too. After Andhaka was defeated, he pleads forgiveness from Lord Shiva and Parvati.

After Veerbhadra went back into Lord Shiva's body, so did the eight Mother Goddesses after Bhadrakali returned as Parvati, they went back into her body as well. Andhaka was defeated, he pleads forgiveness from Lord Shiva and Parvati. He was forgiven and became one of the men of Shiva.

Some stories do say; Andhaka conceived an unnatural lust for his mother, Parvati, which accounts for Shiva's ferocious antagonism against him. Andhaka is usually shown either impaled on Shiva's trident, or in skeletal form as Bhringi after submitting to Shiva, who drained his blood during the conflict.

6/ Manasa;

Manasa (Sanskrit: मनसा, romanized: Manasā) is a Hindu goddess of snakes.

Also known as 'Nagini,' the female serpentine avatar or 'Vishahara,' the goddess who annihilates poison, Manasa, in the Hindu mythology, is believed to be the daughter of sage Kasyapa and Kadru, the sister of the serpent-king Sesha. She is the sister of Vasuki, king of Nagas and wife of sage Jagatkaru.

A simplified version of the myth regards Manasa as the daughter of Lord Shiva. Legends have it that she was rejected by her father Shiva and husband Jagatkaru, and hated by her stepmother, Chandi, who scooped out one of Manasa's eyes. So, she appears to be foul-tempered, and benevolent only towards her devotees.

7/ Jyoti;

Jyoti, or the Hindu goddess of light and the "Vel," is revered by Hindus. As the goddess of "vel," she is closely linked to her brother, Lord Murugan, the son of Shiva and Parvati.

Jyoti is assumed to have been conceived by Shiva and Parvati as there aren't many myths around her birth. The one known is that she along with her family represent the five elements.

8/ Jalandhar;

Genuinely the only picture i found-

Jalandhara was the king of the asuras. Jalandhar was an able ruler and under his leadership the asuras defeated the devas. He himself isn't an asuras.

In the Shiva temple, when Indra and Brihaspati were going towards Mount Kailasha to meet Shiva, their way was blocked by a naked yogi with matted hair and a radiant face. The yogi was Shiva himself, who had taken the form to test the knowledge of Indra and Brihaspati.

Indra did not recognize the yogi and was infuriated at the fact that the man was not moving out of their way. Indra asked him to move, but the man did not budge. After not receiving a response, Indra became enraged and threatened him with his thunderbolt. Upon this action Indra's arm, became paralysed and Shiva neutralised the thunderbolt.

Shiva became angry upon this action of Indra and his eyes turned red, frightening Indra. The anger caused his third eye to open, nearly killing Indra. Brihaspati recognised Shiva and prayed to him, requesting him to pardon Indra.

To avoid killing Indra, Shiva sent the fire from his eye towards the ocean and upon meeting with the ocean it assumed the form of a boy. The boy cried terribly, which caused Brahma to descend from his abode. The ocean told Brahma that he did not know where the boy came from.

Brahma then told him that the boy would one day become the emperor of the asuras, that he could only be killed by Shiva, and that after his death, he would return to third eye. Which will happen eventually... one day.

And that's all I know and found out about them♡

The Celestial Titan: Unveiling the Dominance of Strongest Planet in Astrological World

First of all, let us first define what's the meaning of strong ?A simple answer would be is that - When you feel that you can do anything you wish in your life. That's the time you feel strongest? Isn't it?

But being strong doesn't always lead to happiness and success. It's your choice how being strong, you utilize the trait or condition to prosper or destroy yourself.

Well, as per my research and knowledge, I can say that the Moon is the only planet that can help you do whatever you want. Make you strong. Moon is mind. It represents thoughts.Mind has the biggest power to manifest anything that an individual wishes. In our ancient texts- Vedas also, Mind is being called the kalpvrkish.

There is a story in Hindu Mythology about Mind power or Kalpavrikasha. When Goddess Parvati wanted a daughter in her life to reduce her loneliness, Ashokasundari was created from the wish-fulfilling tree Kalpavriksha.If we analyze it in a practical understanding,Kalpvrkish was not any tree,but it was goddess power of is the power of your mind.

Rahu or Ketu is the planet that amplifies or decreases the quality of Moon. Rahu and ketu are same body and plays the role of a catalyst to the moon. I have seen people with Moon conjunct or aspected by rahu or Ketu did either wonders to their life or blunders to their life.Moon feels either extremely +ve or -ve in Moon Mahadasha or Rahu madasha or ketu mahadasha.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan become Miss World in Moon Maha Dasha. Her moon also conjuct with Rahu.

Harnaaz Sandhu became Miss Universe because her moon conjunct with ketu in rahu mahadasha.

India PM Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in Moon Mahadasha due to Rahu aspect Moon in his chart.

Sadhguru got enlightened during Moon Maha Dasha because his moon conjunct ketu.

Robin Williams did suicide because his moon conjunct with rahu in Ketu Mahadasha.

Deepika Padukone went into depression because her moon conjunct ketu in rahu mahadasha.

In my more than 10 years of Research and Horoscope analysis, I have seen that most people feel get disturbed due to an afflicted moon.People become stars due to this combination,and people commit suicide or go into depression due to this combination of moon rahu or moon ketu. In the psychology field, it is a fact that human general nature is to think negatively in small things.

As per the law of attraction, this is also true. You attract what yoi think.But during the Moon dasha, rahu dasha or ketu dasha, there is a sudden rise in your negative thoughts, and because of thoughts intensity, things will also start manifesting. If we look at Moon Positive, we can also infer that during these dashas, if we can train ourselves to think positively and believe that, then wonders can happen. Your wishes will start Manifesting for your benefits. Moon dasha, Rahu Dasha or Ketu dasha is the biggest opportunity to pull your Moon upward and to fulfill all the wishes that a person wishes.

So, if you want to do wonders to your life, Moon dasha, Rahu dasha or Ketu dasha are the greatest opportunities for you. There are many remedies to generate belief power in you. To do wonders from the power of your mind(moon), there are few remedies:

Do Sadhna/Meditation of your Diety. Your diety can be seen through your birth chart.

Believe that everything happening in your life is a blessing for you. For example, if a cat crosses the road, believe that everything that is happening is a positive signal for you.

When it comes to your body, believe that your every single cell is very strong. That way, you are commanding the universe to keep yourself fit and to never get ill or if already ill, then to recover fast.

When it comes to your network/friend/colleague circle believe that they are a Blessings for you. Even if they are not doing things according to you. Your believing power will turn this the tables and you will succeed whatever the problems will be or your network circle will start working for your benefits.The same thing applies to your family members i.e wife, mother, father or boss at the workplace, and all other relations.Don't create a future on the basis of what's happening in your present.

Whatever wish you will live with intense emotion and believe, it will surely manifest!!

Did Shiva have any daughters?

Yes Shiva has at least two daughters, described in Shiva Mahapurana (Rudra Sanhita, Sati Khanda), Padma Mahapurana, and other Shastras, and worshipped in Hindu communities.

Shiva’s best-known daughter is Ashokasundari, also named Bala Tripurasundari, Lavanya, Anvi, and Viraja. She is a Goddess of trees, gardens, harmony, devotion, beauty, the alleviation of sorrow, and also Goddess of salt. She is also associated with Kinnara spirits. She is especially worshipped in Gujarat and neighboring areas, where various Vratas are observed in her honor. She married a mortal man, and had a hundred daughters and one son.

She is also widely worshipped in South India as Bala Tripurasundari. We worship her in my local temple, and I have also seen her being worshipped in temples in Tamil Nadu. My Guru also teaches about her, and she appears in various Shakta scriptures of the Shrikula tradition. The charming story is told of her that when she was only a small child (six or nine years old I think, I forget the exact number), her mother Lalita Tripurasundari was preparing to go to war against an army of thousands of demons. Little Bala insisted that she was fully educated in the arts of war and she wanted to come fight too. Her reluctant mother eventually allowed Bala to fight in the battle, where this brilliant divine fireball of a little girl fiercely slew thirty demons.

Another daughter of Shiva is Jyoti, also known as Jwalamukhi (Blazing Face) Rayaki, and Raka, Goddess of light, grace, and the full moon. She is worshipped in many temples in Tamil Nadu as well as North India. I have seen her temples in Nepal. She is worshipped as Raka in the Vedas.

Some (particularly in Bengal) say that the Goddess Manasa is a daughter of Shiva. However the Shastras contradict this, and I personally do not believe it. I actually have my own theory about where this idea started.

What are the names of the children of Mahadeva and Mata Gauri other than Lord Kartikeya, Lord Ganesha and Goddess Ashokasundari?

Lile I read somewhere that Veerbhadra is Mahadeva's son

Veerbhadra is the Incarnation of Lord shiva …

But there are his other children like Aiyappa, Manasa, Andhak, Jyoti & Jalandhar

There is difference between Incarnation and Children…

Children are those who are there because of us…

But Incarnations are the other form or phase of the Lord

[mythoughtsverbatim]

Ashokasundari, the beautiful daughter of Lord Shiva and Parvati, is a lesser-known figure in Hindu mythology. Here's a summary of her story:

* Birth: Parvati wished for a daughter to ease her loneliness, and Ashokasundari emerged from the wish-fulfilling Kalpavriksha tree. Her name reflects this origin - "Ashoka" means ending sorrow (shoka) and "Sundari" means beautiful.

* Marriage: According to one legend, Ashokasundari was destined to marry King Nahusha, a righteous and powerful ruler. Their union symbolized the triumph of good over evil.

* Significance: Ashokasundari represents beauty, wishes, and overcoming sorrow. Though lesser-known, she's an interesting part of the divine family.

Ashokasundari: The Lesser-Known Sister of Lord Ganesha

In the realm of Hindu mythology, where gods and goddesses abound, there are tales that are often overlooked, stories that hide in the shadows of more prominent deities. One such story is that of Ashokasundari, the sister of Lord Ganesha—a tale both mysterious and enchanting, with roots that delve deep into the mythological tapestry. The Divine Lineage Ashokasundari’s story begins with her…

"How Ashokasundari was born!"

I thought her origin story was really funny and cute, so I've drawn it ✨🌸🌺✨

Shiva was very shocked that day, but what did he expect from his precious wife? She's THE mother and WILL have a new baby as soon as the others move out!

The tale of the unknown Daughters of Lord Shiva, Parvati

The Unknown Daughters of Lord Shiva and Parvat’s complete details are mentioned in this article. Lord Shiva’s transition from hermit to the householder is described in the Shiva Purana. This entails becoming a father and accepting the responsibilities of fatherhood.

Little is known about the daughters of Lord Shiva and Parvati when compared to how much is known about their sons. Hindu goddess Ashokasundari is the daughter of Shiva and Parvati. The Padma Purana, which tells her story, refers to her. In South India, the Goddess is primarily worshipped as Bala Tripurasundari.

Parents: Shiva and Parvathi

Siblings: Ganesha and Karthikeya

other names:Lavanya, Anvi, Bala Tripura Sundari, Viraja

Consort: Nahusha

Children: Yayati and hundred daughters

The name “Ashoka” means “without sorrow,” while “Sundari” means “beautiful.” Hence, Ashokasundari means a beautiful girl free from all kinds of sorrows.
