Lord ganesha-does anyone know the story of how the mouse became the vehical of Lord Ganesh?

Question:

Answer:

Lord Ganesh is also named Ekadanta "The Lord with one tusk".

The Puranas state that Lord Ganesh broke his tusk during the battle against Gajamukhâsura (the elephant-headed Asura ).

Taking the advice of Shukracharya, the Asura guru, this demon followed severe penances. Thus, he got unconquerable powers from Shiva. But he misused those powers to harass the gods who went to Ganesh and requested his help.

Ganesh did not hesitate to give battle to this demon. During the fight, he understood that the demon could not be defeated, because of his particular powers, without an extraordinary act.

Therefore, Ganesh broke his right tusk and threw it at Gajamukhâsura, defeating him. He then pursued him and converted him into a mouse. Then he rode this mouse, which he used as a mount, keeping the asura under control.
