Age-old Patriarchy??
All our Puranas n mythologies are basically stories created to propagate concepts that the writers were promoting. and every subsequent re-writer gilded the previous -- the whole system elastic enough to accommodate differences and flavors to cater to different cultures, North, South, East, West, etc.
So how about Our (2021) interpretations? They said Parvati created Ganesh from her own body.Doesn't every woman fashion babies in her womb; nourished by her intake, the fetus becomes a baby in 9 months.
No Immaculate Conception -- perhaps Shivji slipped away from his boisterous pals for a romantic rendezvous. Voila! Baby boy Hua!
Could have happened?? Hai an! Did that make Shivji n Parvati first human parents?
Kya khayal hai?
Another conundrum:
That solid wall of Patriarchy of ancient times. Was it really so solid?
Why was Vidur called Daasi Putra when his father Ved Vyas also fathered Drithrashtra n Pandu too?
Why was Krishna called Devaki Nandan? His father was King Vasudev.
Was it a question of a lesser Baap or higher Ma?
