the Story of Ganesh - Sister Unity

[Alexanderglamify]

im just curious are you hindu?



[SisterUnity]

@Alexanderglamify Hi, Yes, I practice Hinduism.

[mrpassion1975]

The story is completely inaccurate as Lord Shiva never cut off Ganesh's head it was Saturn. How could these people spread propaganda

[revelija]

Love the Eyes!!!

[InvaderxxFreak]

I love the stories you tell!

[yahazim]

Wow! So amazing!

[MultiClearsky]

Beautiful makeup, excellent facial expression, simple clear words. You have put alot of work to create a free 6 minute video on Lord Ganesh. Thank You SisterUnity! I will share it my other friends

[YGOAbridgedFTW]

[UsurperDunamis]

I think you're absolutely amazing!

[Andrewtwy]

[SarahRachel59]

I LOVE your stories like this, and also your statements on political issues.

[alx101b]

would appreciate pictures of the characters in the stories. would help understand much better.

[SisterUnity]

@alx101b 2 quick ways to see these deities are:

1) look at the associated videos which show some of them

2) Google them by name: Ganesh, Shiva, Parvati

[badinfluence1985]

I think you are a brilliant, intelligent and powerful story teller... I have always been judgemental about cross dressing people or drag queens etc.... but I have to say your story telling is unbelieveable and better than others. Excellent stuff Sister Unity...you actually tell it BETTER THAN MANY WOMEN WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL IT..... IM CONFUSED!!!!!!

[killingswitch]

All is story & all are storytellers. Our story is the tell, god is a banker. You are not in debt..

Many gifts..

[summerfae]

you are such a good story telling, i could listen to you all day. what is the translation of what you said at the very end? :)

[SisterUnity]

They are mantras of Ganesha's name "Ganapati". Roughly translates as "I honor Ganapati".

[09tdawg]

[SisterUnity]

@09tdawg on occasion.

[09tdawg]

[09tdawg]

[OrgelUndMich]

You tell this story so beautifully.

[asafdarih]

I hope people dont fall for this story that this elephant man was God lol, I tell stories like this to my 3 year old niece and she wont believe lol,,,

[JMARTIN1947]

Love the storytelling! Are those peace symbol earrings? You're the best!

[SisterUnity]

[kin111111111]

@SisterUnity AHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!! thats was friggen hilarious tell him

[AudreyBoston]

I would love to hear you tell the story of Kali, the great lesbian goddess.

[desichick]

kali is not a lesbian goddess

[russel123you]

[proviboi]

I love your voice. You're a great storyteller!

[HerbManHerb]

Thank you sister XXX

[erasmosis]

Brilliant sister!

[URbloodMYfist]

LOVE the story and the way its told.....btw love the outfit very mystic

[foititis]

please tell more stories like this

[magnart]

Cool Sister! Really loved it. Ganesha is my favourite, like for many. And I really liked your presentation. And its so sweet to see a 'drag nun' speak this story. I was smiling through the entire narration.

[AmaraAlban]

Well done! I had to save to my favorites as well ... Om Shanti!

[lethrbear32]

I love this... The first thing I did when I was through watching it, was save it in my favorites.

Love and Light!

[ArjunsGandivArrow]

Skilled story teller of Ganesh- however the story is little different than what I know. Ganesh is made of perspiration collected by Parvati and mixed with the same from her body. She did something more like bestowing him divine power. He is also known as God of Wisdom mainly because he has elephant's head since elephant head is considered an intelligent animal.

[SisterUnity]

Thank you; those are marvelous details! Since making this video, I have heard a variety of additional details contributed by many Ganesh lovers from different parts of India and the world.

[josemifernandes]

i wish I could do this for kids as a storyteller! so beautifull! :) thank You for sharing you talent with us! :)

[lepndahood]

loved it.

[wattever333]

that was lovely, well done, classy, smart, etc.

[skanthavelu]

How does she understand all this?

Has she done research on Hinduism?

[attri111]

gooooooooood........your story attracted me....

[LoLoTate08]

*a wonderful play, that is.

[LoLoTate08]

What a beautifully told version of this story. Thank you for posting! You should read (If you haven't already) A Perfect Ganesh, a wonderful by Terrance McNally.

It was a pleasure to meet you last night, by the way!

[MrZippyDiapersquirt]

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha!

Wonderful, Sister! Thank you!

[statue7]

What a great performer, I loved it.

Thank you very much.

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha

[bqreus]

You are a delicious breath of fresh air.

[sexysteven57]

woow! your awesome and a great story teller!

[cgetcbroadcast]

I enjoyed the retelling -- it was a slightly different version from the ones I'd grown used to seeing and hearing. Please keep them up! I'll be sure to browse your other videos. : ]

Perhaps you'd be interested in the story of Brihannala ( wiki eir name... hooray for Spivakian [gender neutral] pronouns! ). You might find one or two things in common...?

(I apologize is this response comes out in quintuplicate -- the quick reply is being a tad bit slow... I'll clean it up if it does.)

[ThatsSoRavin]

What a wonderful retelling of the story! And I love your personality in drag! You are very skilled and knowledgeable. How did you get the antennae to stay attached to your eyes?

[SisterUnity]

Thank you! they are natural. I can retract them at night by pulling on my underarm hairs.........

[SphericSenseS]

That's hilarious! You have so many gifts! Thank you dear one.

[PolaroidSX70]

"...And all of Hinduism rejoices that he did not see a cockroach."

XD

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

Sorry, Unity, I don't think compassion is your middle name anymore... but it has nothing to do with this video

[zentrucker]

Thank you. Have you considered telling the story of Vishnu's Mohini, his female persona or the story of the birth of "Sastha" or "Ayyappa" the son of Shiva and Vishnu. or the fire god Angi, he was born of two women. or the story of Loki, who turn hisself into a mare gets F... by a really powerful stud. And of course the first and greatest hero Gilgamesh, who turns down a night of sex with the goddess of love and continues to be faithful to his male bride Inkidu the wild man.

[SisterUnity]

Thank you for your compliment and request. You can see Mohini's story in brief as part of "The Story of Lakshmi" which you'll find in the videos I've posted previously.

Can you point me where I can find the stories of Sastha or Ayyappa, and of Agni's birth? I will gladly look at performing those.

[TESJerkkid]

I watched this in Religous eduvation earlier, i must say, it was amzing,

but, one question, i dont mean to be offensive,

but are you gay?

[SisterUnity]

There is no offense in the question. I am enormously, irreversibly, adoringly gay.

Thank you for your compliment. I very much enjoyed telling this story.

[TESJerkkid]

Thank you for answering, and not taking offense,

And im not surprised you enjoyed it, you did it very well

[HomoGeneyes]

May you find strength & courage in everything you do, may your life be filled with Friendship and Love! It takes strength to survive, It takes courage to live. It takes strength 2 love, It takes courage 2 be loved. It takes strength 2 stand alone, It takes courage 2 lean on a friend. It takes strength 2 endure abuses, It takes courage 2 stop them. It takes strength 2 conquer, It takes courage 2 surrender. It takes strength 2 stand guard, It takes courage 2 let down your guard.

[Tortugaschlampe]

You are gorgeous!

[Cerri01234]

just watching some vids on your channel. :) 5/5 and faved! :)

[LoveingDeviant]

wow you had me sitting at my seat as if i was in kindergarten

[Hinduismglance]

This is a mythology.The power of Shiva is called Parvati and Shiva is a formless enery.

[Cva280888]

I never expected such wonderful narration.

You look amazing and your narration was clear and precise.

Thanks for the effort..!

Im subscribing u now!

[CrazyAwesome1990]

this is such a great video! I LOVE the way you tell the story, i couldn't stop watching.

[carokannking84]

I enjoyed hearing the story. Before this I had no knowledge on the story of Ganesh although I still worshipped him. Although I am satisfied with the basic understanding now, of where may I find a more in depth story as I want to learn more.

[9claudius]

I still haven't heard that tambourine yet !!!! DOn't you know the systrum is a sacred tool of Isis ?

[minusirony]

What an interesting story, your so theatrical, I really enjoyed this.

[CelticLady44]

This is so wonderful! I am learning more of Hindu beliefs in their Gods through you and enjoying it more than ever! You look absolutely stunning, BTW. Love, Lady C.

[crazzy888s]

I loved this you did so great at explaining the story of Ganesh! love the make up!

[jeramieleonard]

[SybilSilverPhoenix]

A very beautiful telling and a wise lesson to be gained as well =)

[lfgefd]

[GoretexRobo]

well i'm hooked.. but i'm certainally not drinking any cool aid :O)

[SisterUnity]

OK. There's some Canada Dry on the counter and there's ice in the fridge... [points]

[raphael3712]

That is by far the best telling of that story I've ever heard!

[KUCME]

Did you come before the SF egg or did SF lay you?

[oldreligionadvocate]

It seems when life is getting weary I stumble apon a reason to be grateful again. You're a brilliant soul Unity-Blessed Be.

[surenbig]

Great story telling, loved this story when i was a kids and now i like the way you are telling it, keep it up and may you be bless. Om shanti

[surenbig]

Who cares if he is a gay or anything, She is doing her best in her life, Can you all just open up your damn brains for a second here, I enjoyed this story. As a hindu i am not supposed to be proud of anything i am but this one time i am because hinduism is open to homosexuality, I will never put down any other religion,only people who dont understand. Yes i am a straight guy and even if i was gay i would be as proud as this guy guy. Please stop hating you all. Om shanti

[NewYorkDoc]

Hilarious1 My girlfriend is Hindu but i bet she couldn't tell the story as good as you!

[JohnnyA]

tell me more stories!!!LOVE YOU =)

[adarshraj82]

hey change the description,you typed "gay" instead of "guy".

That creates a very bad impression.

[SisterUnity]

"bad" impression? Surely we are beyond bigotry in this day and age?

[SisterLoreley]

Dear Sister!

I love the way u are telling the stories of the indian gods...

please keep going on like this!

[fiannao]

[fiannao]

[fiannao]

this reminds me of a celtic story, at lest about the father killing hes son and not knowing who he was but I believe in the celtic story he never found out that he killed his son.

[SisterUnity]

I would like very much to hear the story. Can I convince you to make your own video telling that story? Feel free to include it here as a response video.

[NUELAGH1]

thanks for the marvelous explanation, by the way great makeup ~~~~ wow wow wow

[sepdet13]

You're a marvelous bard! Thank you so much for your retellings of these sacred stories.

[thefinewino]

Those eyelashes are fantastic.

[worldishome]

Nice, Jai Shri Ganesh.

[purna11]

hi unity, lovely rendition of ganesh. different renditions of the story appear in several of the puranas which are, as you know, really encyclopedias of hindu lore.

as for jeidda09's question -- ganesh is BOTH the son of shiva/parvati and just the son of devi. just like lakshmi is the daughter of shiva/parvati, a manisfestion of devi, and a goddess who was created when all the gods churned the ocean of eternity. they are gods and goddesses, so they can be many things at once, no?

love,

p.

[jeidda09]

nice... I have 2 Q : where is this story from? and how come Ganesh is son of both if only lady made him ...

[SisterUnity]

Hi Jeidda09,

The story is from India; it is a part of ancient Hindu mythology, estimated at over 5 to 10 thousand years old. I will have to research the specific purana (my guess at which set of Hindu scriptures in which it may be written).

Your question of hsi being Shiva's son as well as Parvati's is a good one; I've wondered it myself. But as that is the way it is presented in the story, that is the way I told the story.

[jeidda09]

aha clear, thanks

[desichick]

this story is from Shiv purana, shiv is the father of ganesh because he's the husband of parvati.

[123babyflyby]

ummm i like da way he/she said da story...but da make up was kinda disturbing..no offense O.O

[kateam1975]

Ganesh is all over my houes and you can see him in the red roce to :)

[yogastudent1963]

WELL DONE UNITY! well told I never heard the cockroach addition. But think, how mankind would haved revered the lowely roach if SHIVA had first seen it?

[tachodetijuana]

my my ! again saying ! i heart u ! keep up the great wrk !! sending all love from tj over to the entire world along w u !!!

O.~ thnx 4 being the greater human being and thatnoble soul !!!

[volnessj]

you're going to be a youtube star, i can feel it.

[Edengoth]

I freaked when you started talking after all the mute theater hahaha don't scare me like that <3

[BuddhistBoy17]

Ahh! now i know his story. I always loved Ganesh but i never knew where he came from! Thank you! One more thing. I love that song in the background! what is it?

[lahuerasantera]

You are a wonderful story teller. I needed to hear this story and use it to understand where I am in my life. Thank you, o Sister Unity.

[paulseabert]

Delightful storytelling! I concur with the remark "It's like you witnessed it all firsthand." Just great!

[justnicknet]

Beautiful!

[ericpasa]

I love it when you tell this story. It's like you witnessed it all firsthand. And maybe you did...

[mrkymrk310]

*gasp* You broke your silence! What happened to the slips of paper?

[SisterUnity]

aw.. [smile] actually, to be Hindu about it... all sound comes from silence and into silence again it will subside. someday.

[SisterTitania]

You truly have a talent for storytelling! Beautifully done, and very exciting. I'm looking forward to your next one. Hugs to you, and very thankful that the cockroaches were elsewhere that day.

[SisterUnity]

hee hee! Can you picture the statues?
