One day in the city of Yama,there was a grand event held and many dancer and fairies has come to dance and entertain the Yamaraj and his guests. While the dancers were dancing, Lord Yama fell in love with one of them and a huge and scary demon took birth called as Analasura.
Analasura was so terrible that the earth would tremble by his voice and his eyes used to emit fire. Wherever Analasura went he destroyed everthing.
So everybody was very scared of him. Even the Gods were terrified and frightened . Analasura didn't even spare the Gods.
So all the gods prayed to Lord Ganesh, so that the Lord would rescue them from the clutches of Analasura.
Lord Ganesh appeared as a Bal Ganesh and assured all the Gods that they would be saved from Analasura.
Lord Bal Ganesh went towards the demon Analasura. Analasura’s powerful eyes oozes out fireballs and destroyed surroundings of 
Bal Ganesh . Everyone was running for their life but Bal Ganesh 
stood still.
By seeing the little Bal Ganesh ,Analasura laughed at him and

But due to increased heat in body, the little Bal Ganesh could not bear the heat and fell down on the ground.
bal ganesh fell restless
Ganesh could not even lie down properly. Bal Ganesh was restless. 
And every other gods present there were amazed and terrified by seeing Bal Ganesh. And everyone started doing every remedy that can cure Ganapatti.
Bal Ganesh applied sandal paste all over the body even though the body’s heat was unbearable.
At that moment, Lord Indra placed sheetal and the moon on his head and Ganesh is also known as “Bhalachandra. But it could not help Lord Ganesh.
Lord Brahma offered his daughters............Riddhi and Siddhi.
Lord Vishnu gave his lotus to Bal Ganesh and therefore Ganesh is also known as “Padmapani”.

About Ganesh Chaturthi

   Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated on the birthday of Lord Ganesh (Ganesha), the god of wisdom and prosperity on the fourth day of the moons bright fortnight, or period from new moon in the lunar month of Bhadrapada. The celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi continue for five, seven, or ten days. Some even stretch it to twenty one days, but ten the most popularly celebrated. In the tradition of the right hand path the first day is the most important. In the left hand path tradition the final day is most important.
   Another tale tells of how one day the Gods decided to choose their leader and a race was to be held between the brothers- Kartikeya and Ganesh. Whoever took three rounds of the earth first would be made the Ganaadhipati or the leader. Kartikeya seated on a peacock as his vehicle, started off for the test. Ganesh was given a rat, which moved swiftly. Ganesh realised that the test was not easy, but he would not disobey his father. He reverently paid obeisance to his parents and went around them three times and thus completed the test before Kartikeya. He said, " my parents pervade the whole universe and going around them, is more than going round the earth." Everybody was pleasantly surprised to hear Ganesha's logic and intelligence and hence he came to be known as the Ganaadhipati or leader, now referred to as Ganpati.
   He looked up and saw the moon mocking him. Ganesha infuriated, broke off one of his tusks and hurled it at the moon. Parvati, seeing this, immediately cursed the moon that whoever looks at it on Ganesh Chaturthi will be accused of a wrong doing. The symbology behind the mouse and snake and Ganesha's big belly and its relationship to the moon on his birthday is highly philosophic. The whole cosmos is known to be the belly of Ganesha. Parvati is the primordial energy. The seven realms above, seven realms below and seven oceans, are inside the cosmic belly of Ganesha, held together by the cosmic energy (kundalini ) symbolized as a huge snake which Ganesha ties around Him. The mouse is nothing but our ego... Ganesha, using the mouse as a vehicle, exemplifies the need to control our ego. One who has controlled the ego has Ganesha consciousness or God-consciousness.

That's why we need each other.
To catch each other when we falter.
To encourage each other when we lose heart.
Some may lead; others may follow; 
but none of us can go it alone.

~   Hilary Clinton

The strength of a man is to be measured by the 
power of the feelings he subdues 
not by the power of those which subdue him."

but it requires a very fine nature to
