Dear Devotees, I just went through ganesha puran & was completely baffled. we all have heard that ganesha is the son of mahadeva but GP claims that it is a post? check this out!
Since the post of Ganesha is eternal, without material qualities and has no beginning, no one seeks to describe His real appearance. However, those who are devoted and worship Him can describe His appearance, which is full of transcendental qualities. The blessed Lord Ganesha has the form of OM and He is situated as the first syllable of the Vedas. The great sages and demigods led by Indra always remember Him in their hearts and Brahma, Siva, Visnu and Indra continually worship Him, the cause of creation and cause of all causes.
At His command Lord Brahma creates the universe. At His command Lord Visnu maintains the universe. At His command Lord Siva destroys the universe. At His command the Sun, Lord of the day, moves throughout the universe. At His command Vayu directs the wind. At His command Varuna causes the waters to flow in all directions. At His command the stars shine in the sky. At His command Agni burns in the three worlds.

Suresh prabhuji, who is Sri Lalitha? Is it another name for Mata Parvati?
Jai shree Gokulesh
Hari Bol! Sri Lalitha Devi is Adya Shakti - SHE is the first sakar roop of Para-Brahma per Devi Puran of Veda Vyasa. Mata Parvati is her Satva roopa.
Your servant,
Sharangat
harE krishnA, my humble pranAms to bhagavAn and bhAgavathAs,
Ganesha is a title (responsibility/post) meaning Gana-Isa - the lord of Ganas.
One who was born as the son of Lord Siva-Maheswara and Sri Lalitha is Om-incarnate (Maha Vishnu) - the son was born when both siva and shakthi looked at the symbol of Om and prayed whole-heartedly. This son was needed to break the vigna-yantra (a maze of obstacles) which was established by the Demon Bandasura in the war between MAtA Shakthi and him. This son is prayed with the sloka - shuklam baradharam vishnum...
Ganesha is also the one who was the scribe of the great epic Mahabharatha dictated by Sage Veda VyAsa.
||shri krishna sharanam mama||
in one of lectures of a senior Devotee i heard that in Vedas sometimes the name of Ganesha may refer to the Name of Lord Vishnu but some ordinary people do not understand it and they think that it is the name of demigod Ganesha.

Siddhartha Prabhu, it is very great thing that You adore to read but sometimes it becomes a worst quality. Why? We may read, read and read something unneeded and collect dirt.
If i were You i would read Srimad Bhagavatam continuously, and again and again.
Your servant,
hare krsna ..maral mataji i heard that we say "shuklaam bharadaram vishnum shasivarnam"-which means lord ganesh is nothing but name of vishnu and his complexion is similar to that of him?
yes yes dear Mataji, that Devotee also told that sometimes Name of Ganesha is not that of Demigod's but Lord Vishnu's. So You also heard about this so i was not wrong. Hope Devotees also will post something!
Thank You!
Your servant,
