The character who lost his teeth while writing the Mahabharata is Vedavyasa, also known simply as Vyasa. According to legend, he was so absorbed in the composition of the epic that he did not notice the passage of time or the physical toll it took on him. As a result, he lost his teeth in the process of writing. This story highlights the dedication and intensity with which he approached the monumental task of compiling the Mahabharata.
The Mahabharata is an ancient Indian epic that is traditionally attributed to the sage Vyasa. It is one of the longest epic poems in the world and is highly revered in Hindu culture for its moral and philosophical teachings.
Ganesha is a highly symbolic deity for Hindus. The head of Ganesha represents the Atman (the soul or ultimate reality), while his body signifies the world and earthly realm of human beings. The elephant trunk had the symbol of OM on it, which is the primal sound and symbol of the Universal reality. In his upper right hand Ganesha holds a goad, which helps him propel mankind forward on the eternal path and remove obstacles from the way. The noose in Ganesha's left hand is a gentle implement to capture all difficulties. The broken tusk that Ganesha holds like a pen in his lower right hand is a symbol of sacrifice, which he broke for writing the Mahabharata. The rosary in his other hand suggests that the pursuit of knowledge should be continuous. The laddoo (sweet) he holds in his trunk indicates that one must discover the sweetness of the Atman. His fan-like ears convey that he is all ears to our petition. The snake that runs round his waist represents energy in all forms. And he is humble enough to ride the lowest of creatures, a mouse.
Mahabharata & Ramayan are epic poems of Hinduism. While puranas are description of Vedas.
In Hindu mythology, Hanuman, Ganesha, and Krishna are revered figures from different narratives and timelines. Hanuman is a central character in the Ramayana, while Krishna is a key figure in the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita, and Ganesha is associated with various Puranas. While they are all part of the vast tapestry of Hindu mythology, traditional texts do not indicate that they met at the same time in a historical sense. However, their stories are often interconnected through various cultural interpretations and artistic depictions.
