Topic Research: Shiva and Parvati

Ganesha: The Remover of All Obstacles

This is a story of Parvati creating her own son on her own from scratch. She was so proud of her son that she placed him in front of the gates of her and Shiva's home. One say as Shiva was returning, the son had no clue who it was. He only knew that he was supposed to stop anyone from entering. Shiva in return defeats the son and cuts his head off. Parvati outraged by the matter places an elephant head upon the son, thus making him Ganesha.

Shiva the Fisherman

This is another story between the couple Parvati and Shiva. Shiva again curses Parvati in order to win her loyalty and love in a separate form. He puts Parvati into the form of a fisherwoman, and he in the form of a fisherman in order to capture a shark that was terrorizing the village. I think I can have a lot of fun with this story and bend the lines a lot more than the real story was actually written.

Shiva Parvati: A Story of Divine Love

Beginning with the death of Shiva's first wife, Sati, she's reborn as Parvati. The theme I'm wanting to do as one could probably guess by now are some kind of tales between Shiva and Parvati. I couldn't think of a better place to start than starting here where Parvati is born and Shiva does what he can to win her hand in marriage.
