# Lord Vinayaka - Choices He Made

Rating: 3.4


he was a chooser
wanted a wife like mother
he could not find one

chose to go around
his parents to win a FRUIT
claimed they were his world

chose to ride on mouse
surprising choice for his size
a reason he had

HE TAKES....

a ride on the mouse
to every nook and corner
without being seen

[FRUIT..IT WAS A GNANA PALAM...A FRUIT OF WISDOM
SAINT NARADAR BROUGHT TO LORD SHIVA'S ABODE
THE FATHER MOTHER AND TWO BROTHERS THERE
LORD SHIVA, PARVATHI, VINAYAKA AND MURUGAN
THE FRUIT SHOULD NOT BE SHARED...NARADAR SAID
THE FATHER AND MOTHER DECIDED TO GIVE IT TO THE SONS..BUT THEY WERE TWO
TO WIN THE FRUIT..THEY HAD A CONTEST...WHO EVER WENT AROUND
THE WORLD AND RETURNED FIRST GETS THE FRUIT...LORD MURUGA LEFT IN HIS PEACOCK
....VINAYAKAR ASKED NARADAR
WHETHER PARENTS AND THE WORLD IS ONE.
..NARADAR ACCEPTED THAT ONE
VINAYAKAR TOOK A ROUND AROUND HIS PARENTS
TO GET THE FRUIT.......]
