Gauris Secret Reading Notes

Eons pass before the Devas remember Shiva and want him to open his eyes. The Devas need a commander to lead their armies. King Indra is not of being the leader. The leader of the asuras can only be killed bu a warrior child from a celibate man, Shiva. When Kama the god of desire comes to strike Shiva he opens his third eye and burns her to a pile of ashes. The divas turn to the goddess once again to open the eyes of Shiva and marry. Shiva finally agrees to be a groom. So Shiva marries Parvathi and takes her to Calais a mountain peak covered with snow when nothing grows. Here she makes a home even though Shiva does not understand the concept because he was content living in caves during the Rings. Parvati and Shiva make love but he offers his semen not to her, but the Devas. From the forest the ashes emerged six boys from Shiva's single seed who are nursed by the six star goddesses. Parvathi takes the six children in her hand and fuses them in to one child. This bring the birth of the six headed Skanda warrior child who would lead the Devas into battle. Parvati nowmwants a son of her own but Shiva refuses to indulge this wish as he says children are needed only by mortal beings who seek rebirth. He is immortal and so he has no need for children. Parvati argues that children are also needed to receive and give love when Shiva does not grant Parvati what she wants she anoints her body with turmeric, scrapes it off and from the rubbings creates a child without a man Nayaka. When Shiva discovers this child he does not recognize him as Parvati's in a fit of rage and jealousy he cuts his head but when Parvati reveals who the child was he replaces it with an elephant's head to pacify her. Thus is born Ganesha.
