Trip to GMRT at Khodad On our way back from Lenyadri we decided to visit the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope at Khodad. Since we were going there without an appointment and too on their holiday I was not sure if we would be allowed entry. I was pleasantly surprised when they not only allowed us to visit but also provided their own vehicle for a short trip.

Taking advantage of the holiday that both Akshay and I had on 2 nd October, we decided to go to Lenyadri. It is one of the Ashta Vinayak’s but I tried to collect some information more information about Lenyadri. So here is the story. Lord Shiva used to do penance regularly. Parvati (also called as Girija) was curious about Shiva’s penance. She always thought that Shiva is greatest among the Gods then why & which god's penance was he doing? Lord Shiva told her `Omkar’ (Lord Ganesha). He is more powerful than Shiva, Brahma & Vishnu. Parvati too decided to do rigorous penance of Omkar because she wanted Ganesha to be her son. She started her persistent effort on the Lenyadri mountain. For twelve years she made a persistent effort. On Bhadrapad Shuddha Chaturthi God appeared in person and gave her blessings that he will become her son. This son was named Ganesh. It is said that Ganesha’s childhood took place in the Lenyadri mountains. It was his playing place. Gautam
