  1. gaṇeśaḥ is a small baby boy! 🥰❤️

    ॐ श्रीमहागणाधिपतये नमो नमः। 🙏🏼

    गीतायां गणेश उवाच​

    अहमेव महाविष्णुरहमेव सदाशिवः।
    अहमेवमहाशक्तिरहमेवार्यमा प्रिय​॥ 1.23

    In गणेशगीता, गीताचार्यः gives the same message of अद्वैतम् which is stated in all the गीताः like शिवगीता, ईश्वरगीता, श्रीगुरुगीता, भगवद्गीता, देवीगीता, सूर्यगीता, ऋभुगीता, अष्टावक्रगीता, अवधूतगीता, उद्धवगीता, उत्तरगीता etc

    शिवे विष्णौ च शक्तौ च सूर्ये मयि नराधिप।
    याऽभेदबुद्धिर्योगः स सम्यग्योगो मतो मम॥ 1.21

    See the अभेदभावः which occurs only in अद्वैतसिद्धिः।

    अहमेको नृणां नाथो जातः पञ्चविधः पुरा।
    अज्ञानान्मा न जानन्ति जगत्कारणकारणम्॥ २४ ॥

    एवञ्च​ पाद्मे। “Due to the reasons stated in the previous verses in that chapter” The following is the continuation 👇🏼

    अस्यैव कारणादस्य अग्रे पूजा मखेषु च।
    वेदशास्त्रस्तवादौ च नित्यं पूजाविधासु च॥ १७

    gaṇeśasya worship is must at 1st in all the यज्ञाः & also in the everyday worship & so on.

    ततः सर्वेषु यज्ञेषु पूजयेद्गणपं द्विजः।
    कोटिकोटिगुणं तेषु देवदेवी वचो यथा॥ २०

    A dvijaḥ should therefore worship gaṇeśaḥ in all the यज्ञाः (yajñāḥ), then one who performs thus possesses the crores & crores of merit, as these are the words of both देवः (शिवः) & देवी (पार्वती)

    This chapter is a very small story which states that he revolves around his (OUR) parents.

    The next chapter (64th) is also a small stotram on him.

    इति श्रीपाद्मपुराणे प्रथमे सृष्टिखंडे गणपतिस्तोत्रं नाम त्रिषष्टितमोऽध्यायः ६३

    https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/पद्मपुराणम्/खण्डः_१_(सृष्टिखण्डम्)/अध्यायः_६३

    Both the 63rd & 64th chapters are dedicated to him.

    Needless to mention that the whole गणपतिखण्डः of ब्रह्मवैवर्तपुराणम् is dedicated to this parabrahma गणेशः।

    विष्णुकृतगणेशस्तोत्रम्। गणेशपूजा 13th chapter.

    श्रीब्रह्मवैवर्त्ते महापुराणे तृतीये गणपतिखण्डे नारदनारायणसंवादे गणेशपूजास्तवकवचकथनं नाम त्रयोदशोऽध्यायः॥१३॥

    This stava/prayer was performed by विष्णुः

    In the same brahmavaivartam, गणेशः being mentioned as सर्वकारणकारणम्।

    There are many authentic prayers in पुराणानि, even in the 11th chapter of केदारखण्डः of स्कान्दम् there’s a prayer on गणेशः

    पञ्चवक्त्रो गणाध्यक्षो दशबाहुस्त्रिलोचनः॥
    कान्तस्फटिकसङ्काशो नीलकण्ठो गजाननः॥ ११.५ ॥

    One should see the names, & should enjoy how beautifully the parambrahma गणेशः is glorified.

  2. Some Vaisnavas quote Nrsimhatapini upanishad and Nrsimha purana where Nrsimha is termed umapati, pashupati etc. and argue that the Sarvajna Ishwara of the Kenopanishad bhasya is not Shiva but Vishnu and the Uma mentioned there is not parvati

    • ” They aren’t vaiṣṇavāḥ, they are buffoons! This absurd is just like Śaivāḥ states that the nārāyaṇa in vedāḥ isn’t viṣṇuḥ but Śivaḥ

      umā is pārvatī only. We can neglect non-devotional buffoons. All the names of Śivaḥ applies to viṣṇuḥ & all the names of viṣṇuḥ applies to Śivaḥ as well.

      The forms of Śivaḥ as well as viṣṇuḥ of vaikuṇṭhaḥ are subjected to pralayaḥ, this is only the matam of devotees, rest all the notions which are contradictory to this are buffoonery.

      The parabrahma is the अनन्तकळ्याणगुणातीतब्रह्म, all other non-devotees states/have stated rubbish. A विष्णुभक्तः & A शिवभक्तः will by default deny those buffoons!

      शिवाय शम्। ”

      Hello sir, the above comment is by Viveka sir. He is unable to post comments because of unknow reasons. Hence asked me to post the above reply.
      Adbhutam sir if you can check and resolve technical errors because of which viveka sir is unable to post comment it would be very kind of you..
      Thank you.

      • OK, Harsha, I got it.

    • In that case, how will the ‘Vaishnavas’ account for the statement by Shankara that Uma is the daughter of ‘Himavan’?
