How Ganesh Jee wrote Mahaabhaarat?

12-Ganesh Jee Wrote Mahaabhaarat

As we have said, Ganesh Jee is supposed to be the most intelligent Devtaa among all Devtaa. There is another story very well famous about him.

Once Maharshi Ved Vyaas Jee decided to write a great epic called Mahaabhaarat. It was so huge that he himself could not write it alone, he needed somebody to help him to write it, so he went to Brahmaa Jee and asked him to suggest somebody's name who could help him in writing that huge book. Brahmaa Jee thought for a moment and said - "I can suggest only one name, that is Ganesh Jee. I am sure he can help you writing that book, but you have to ask his convenience first."

Vyaas Jee came to Ganesh Jee and said - "Ganesh Jee, I am writing a huge book. I speak very fast. I need a scriber to write it without mistakes. I went to Brahmaa Jee to suggest me some name, he suggested your name. I will appreciate if you could help me to write my book." Ganesh Jee said - "Yes, I can help you, but I also write very fast so I have a condition." Vyaas Jee got surprised to hear this sentence but asked with patience, "What?" Ganesh Jee said - "When I have started writing I am not going to stop in between. If I will have to wait for your dictation I will leave it in between."

Vyaas Jee laughed and said - "Oh, Is that all?" Ganesh Jee said, "Yes". Vyaas Jee said - "Then I also have a condition." Now it was Ganesh Jee's turn to get a surprise. He asked, "What?" Vyaas Jee said - "You will not write anything which you do not understand first." Ganesh Jee said, "Agreed".

Now both sat to write Mahaabhaarat with their own conditions. It is said that in whatever time Ganesh Jee wrote Vyaas Jee's Shlok, Vyaas Jee used to create many Shlok during that time. And since Ganesh Jee had to write everything after understanding it first, he used to take long time to understand Vyaas Jee's complex Shlok before he wrote them as they had a very deep meaning.

So Ganesh Jee wrote Mahaabhaarat like this.
