The first creature they found was a mighty elephant. They severed its head and brought it to Lord Shiva. The Lord placed the elephant’s head onto the boy’s body and breathed life into him. Ganesha was reborn! To make amends and to celebrate the miracle, Lord Shiva bestowed upon him the status of being the first among all gods ( Ganapati – leader of the Ganas ). He declared that no auspicious work ( puja , wedding, new beginning) would ever be successful unless Ganesha was worshipped first.
