Lord Ganesha is a widely revered God in Thailand, and more so by those who are in arts related careers.. In Chiang Mai's Doi Lor sub-district, some 41 kilometers from the city, one can find a private museum dedicated to Lord Ganesha.

Episode 31 takes a look at the iconic figure of the Hindu deity Shiva Nataraja, the Lord of the Dance. Examining two images of the dancing Shiva at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame, we explore the timeless concept of the cosmic cycle of creation and destruction. We see a philosophy of balance and harmony expressed through the union of diverging opposites, like creation and destruction, male and female, life and death -- and we learn how the imagery, symbolism, and iconography of the popular Nataraja figure embody this philosophy and spiritual belief. Plus we discover Shiva's function as the destroyer of the cosmos, the supreme yogi and cosmic dancer, and father of the beloved elephant-headed deity Ganesha, the Remover of Obstacles.

Hinduism in Afghanistan has existed for almost as long as Hinduism itself.The religion was widespread in the region until the advent of Islam. History Hinduism in Afghanistan dates back to the Vedic periods when the country shared a common culture with India. Along with Buddhism and Zoroastrianism, Hinduism was also practiced among the local people. Afghanistan gradually converted to Islam with the advent of Islam. The Mahabharata, a sacred text amongst the Hindus, mentions about King Shakuni who was the ruler of Kandhar region in Afghanistan.The Kushanas worhshipped Hindu gods as well as Buddha and local deities . Some of them like Vasudeva were named after Hindu gods and heros. The Shahi rulers of Afghanistan followed Hinduism and also supported Buddhism. The Shahi king Khingala installed one of the earliest Ganesha images, which was found in Gerdez. There are Hindu populations in major cities of Afghanistan. Afghan Hindu's & Sikh's are the most loyal Afghans. Even though most Afghans who never returned to Afghanistan after the civil wars from Europe, or America's.

This animation film is based on a traditional story from the Ganesh Puran from India. Once, the Elephant headed child God Ganesha was returning home after a late night feast. He was riding on the back of his pet mouse. A full moon watched in amusement. Suddenly a snake appeared on the path. The mouse was frightened and ran away. Ganesha fell to the ground! The full moon was watching. He found the sight funny. He laughed. Ganesha became angry. He broke one of his tusks and threw it at the moon. The moon ran away and hid behind the earth. Without the moon, all music stopped. All was silent. Love came to an end. The people prayed to Ganesha and begged him to forgive the moon. Ganesha agreed but he was still angry at the moon. He ordered the moon to go into hiding once every 15 days so he would remember and repent for his mistake. That is why, to this day, the moon waxes and wanes from Purnima to Amavasya, from full moon to a moonless night. Screened at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival as an ASIFA collection of Animation Films made by children of the World. The film is featured in Images of the Moon - a collection of animation films on the theme of the moon from different countries. The project aims to promote cultural diversity and global harmony through creativity of children. Made by 10 to 14 year old children at the AAVS studio

GOD NEVER DOES UNGODLY THINGS eg God NEVER becomes Human who requires to eat ,sleep,and go to bathroom. Both religious scriptures has proof that says God is imageless,invisible,has no parents,uncreated,has no partners,God is independent and everything depends upon .God is Just,but His complete justice we all will see on Judgement Day. Hindu's and Muslims can unite or come to common plateform by following common verses/concepts. Those people who are giving images to God eg Ganesha having elephant head,shiva having body similar to humans ,vishnu lying on snakes. etc are contradicting Vedas ,puranas ,upanishads,and bhagvat geeta. GOD NEVER DOES UNGODLY THINGS. eg God never becomes human,or other being or anything other things.For God to teach mankind Good and bad He sends Messengers ,which He chooses the Best among Human beings to convey His Message.The Last and Final Messenger that the Whole mankind should follow is Prophet Muhammad.

A Ganesha image worshipped in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Large idols such as this are seen all over Mumbai during the festival. An elaborate idol of Ganesha at the Kudroli Bhagavathi temple in Mangalore, India. Street festivities in Hyderabad during the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi. Ganesha Chaturthi is a Hindu festival of Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati, is believed to bestow his presence on earth for all his devotees.
Ganesha is also believed to have been the legendary scribe who wrote down the text of the Indian Epic Mahabharata as it was recited by the sage Ved Vyasa. When the sage asked Ganesha to write down the epic, the playful learned God agreed on condition that his pen should not stop moving until the story was completed ie Vyasa must recite the Epic non-stop. Vyasa agreed but imposed a counter-condition that Ganesha understand each verse completely before transcribing it. So whenever Ganesha stopped to consider Vyasa's complex compositions, the sage would use the time to compose more verses. Thus the great epic of Mahabharata is said to have been written by Lord Ganesha. Any sculpture of Ganesha with his elephantine trunk pointing to the left is used for home decoration, as symbolically it is associated with Grihasthas (Householders) and points to the direction for success in the world. Any image with Ganesha's trunk pointing to the right is used for worship and prayers, as the direction symbolizes the ultimate path of life: Moksha or Salvation through renunciation of the world. When one chooses a Ganesh sculpture that is proper for their own spiritual path, the position of the trunk is good to keep in mind. In many homes and temples, the image of Goddess Lakshmi is often flanked by the images of Goddess Saraswati and Lord Ganesha, indicating the arrival of prosperity where there is knowledge and no obstacles. Perhaps the most ancient of Ganapati shrines in India, is the well known Karpaka Vinayakar temple in the town of Pillaiarpatti near Karaikkudi in Tamilnadu. This temple with a rock cut shrine, bearing a collossal form of Vinayakar, is over 1600 years old.

The legends narrated about Lord Ganesha are recorded in the 'Ganesha Khanda' of the Brahma Vivartha Purana. Another story of his origin, found in the Brahma Vivartha Purana is as follows: Shiva asked Parvati to observe the Punyaka Vrata for a year to appease Vishnu in order to have a son. On completion of the Vrata by Parvati, it was announced that The Lord of Gopikas, the Lord of all Creatures - Krishna, would incarnate Himself as her son as a result of the Vrata. Accordingly, Krishna was born as a charming infant, delighting Parvati and Shiva who celebrated the event with great enthusiasm. All the Gods and Goddesses assembled to rejoice on his birth. Lord Shani, the son of Surya (Sun-God), was also present but he refused to look at the infant. Perturbed at this behavior, Parvati asked him the reason, and Shani replied that his looking at the baby would harm the newborn. However, on Parvati's insistence when Shani eyed the baby, the child's head was severed instantly. Parvati and all the Gods assembled there including Shiva, were grief-stricken. They all started to bemoan, whereupon Vishnu mounted Garuda and rushed to the bank of river Pushpabhadra, brought back the head of a young elephant, and joined it to the baby's headless body, thus reviving it. All the Gods blessed Ganesha and wished Him power and prosperity. Shiva made Ganesha the Leader of his Troops (Gana), and also gave Him the following boon: "All obstacles, whatever they may be, will be rooted out by ...

Dancing elephants celebrate the lord Ganesha in this riveting animated film that builds to a crescendo of musical bliss. This is an original work, which took seven months to create, with 4500 frames, all hand-drawn and colored by the artist single-handedly. During the festival of Ganesh Chaturti, the last time devotees get to see their beloved lord Ganesha is before immersion. But no one knows what happens underwater. This film is a blend of fact, myth & fantasy, which talks about the journey of an immersed image underwater. All the immersed clay images, each one with innovative iconography, get animated (indicating the presence of prana). Their energy and merrymaking finally make the God himself appear, to collect prana from all the images. This leaves inanimate clay objects, which quickly dissolve into formlessness. This formless state of clay only lasts for a short time, though. In next year's festival the prana again regains its iconic form. In this respect it replicates the cosmos itself.
