   Respected Sir,
   One question has just now crossed my mind regarding Lord Ganesh. What is his
   actual name? What name was given to him just like all parents give names to
   their off springs. The names like ganesh, Ganpati or Gajanan are the various facets of his appearance or he got after winning the race with his brother.

   Please help me and guide me.

   Hello Man Mohan Batra,
   It is very thought provoking question you have asked. As per my limited knowledge, I am aware that the name “Ganesh” was conferred to the Lord by his father, Lord Shiva after his head was replaced with an elephant’s head. He was named “Ganapati” meaning the leader of all the Ganas (the sevaks or followers of Shivji) when he had won the race with his brother Lord Karthik, of going around the world first.

   Do read our other posts called Legends of Lord Ganesh. There are many short incidents of Lord Ganesh’s life that we have compiled. (Search for them in the search box provided within the blog) If you have more questions, do let us know. We will try and answer them as best as we can.
   Best wishes
