VYASA AND JAYA

VYASA  AND  JAYA 

******************

Vyasa was the son of the great sage parashara-He wrote a book named jaya -He meditated on brhma the creator who manifested himself before him, Vyasa saluted him with bowed head and folded hands and prayed to him 

"Brhama deva,I have conceived a book named jaya .But I don't know who is the best person to expand on it 

brhma told vyaasa to invoke Ganapathi and beg him to be your assistant--Having said these words Brahma disappeared.

The sage vyasa meditated on Ganapathi who appeared before him -Vyasa received him with due respect and sought his help.Ganapathi agreed to write the work of sage Vyasa.This is the story so far

Now who is this Ganapathy?

students were known as __GANAM--in former times.Sage Shuka son of sage Vyasa was the leader of students.or gana's. Pailan-vaishambaayanan-Jamini-Sumanthu-Shuka -these were the students of Vyasa. so leader Shuka was known asGanapathy. Sage Shuka expanded jayaand named Mahabhaaratha

 Vyasa  had first taught this great epic to his son the sage Shuka-therefore Shuka could expand Jaya very easily
