AI:If lord Ganesha was born from Parvati who was the father no stories from myth but actually biologically who was responsible and how Kartikeya was born which time both male female did start

 

Your question seeks a biological explanation (beyond mythological storytelling) for the births of Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartikeya, and when male-female reproduction may have begun. Let's break this down into logical parts:
1. Biological Father of Ganesha (If Parvati is the Mother)
Mythological version:
Ganesha is traditionally said to have been created by Parvati from the dirt or turmeric paste from her body. Shiva later gives him life (in some versions).
Biological Interpretation:

If we consider this through a scientific lens:

If Parvati is the biological mother, and Ganesha is a biological human child, then a male contribution (sperm) would be required unless we imagine parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction, very rare and not natural in humans).
So, Shiva would logically be the biological father if we try to map mythology onto biology.
In human reproduction, both egg (from female) and sperm (from male) are needed for fertilization. So biologically speaking, Parvati alone could not have had a child without male genetic material—unless by some unnatural or divine intervention.
Therefore:
Biological conclusion: If Ganesha had a human-like biological birth and Parvati is the mother, Shiva would have to be the biological father.
Otherwise, it is a non-biological event (mythic creation).
2. How Was Kartikeya Born (Biologically Speaking)?
Mythological version:
Kartikeya (also known as Skanda or Murugan) is born from the divine seed of Shiva, which was carried and nurtured by fire and river deities, eventually emerging from a lotus or water (depends on the version).
He is said to have six faces because six Kritikas (Pleiades stars) raised him.
Biological Interpretation:
Kartikeya’s conception involves Shiva's seed (sperm), but not Parvati’s womb directly. Instead, other entities carried the embryo (symbolic surrogate birth).
Biologically speaking:
Shiva is the biological father.
The mother is less clear; some interpretations suggest that Ganga or other divine carriers played surrogate roles.
So biologically, Kartikeya was a result of Shiva’s sperm, and his embryo developed externally — which resembles surrogacy or ex-utero gestation.
3. When Did Male-Female Reproduction Start?
Scientifically speaking:
Sexual reproduction started about 1.2 billion years ago in early eukaryotic organisms.
In animals, the differentiation into male and female sexes and the development of internal fertilization (as in humans) happened much later — around hundreds of millions of years ago, during the evolution of complex multicellular life (e.g., vertebrates).
Human reproduction as we know it (sperm + egg = embryo in womb) evolved with the hominids about 6–7 million years ago, and anatomically modern Homo sapiens arose around 300,000 years ago.
Summary:
Topic Biological Interpretation
Ganesha’s father Must be Shiva if Parvati is the biological mother (requires sperm)
Kartikeya’s birth Shiva is the father; surrogate gestation via deities (symbolic)
Start of reproduction Sexual reproduction: ~1.2 billion years ago; human-like reproduction: ~300,000 years ago

Vishnu Lakshmi Narayan children
ChatGPT said:
In Hindu mythology, Vishnu, Lakshmi, and Narayana (Narayana being another form of Vishnu) are seen as divine archetypes — cosmic beings rather than human-like parents. They don’t have direct children in most mainstream texts, especially not in the way that gods like Shiva-Parvati have Ganesha and Kartikeya.
However, let’s explore the question from three angles:

1. Mythological View: Do Vishnu and Lakshmi Have Children?
In the core scriptures, Vishnu and Lakshmi are not usually said to have biological children. They are more symbolic of cosmic preservation (Vishnu) and wealth/prosperity (Lakshmi).
But in some regional or Puranic stories, they are associated with children indirectly:

Possible "Children" of Vishnu-Lakshmi (Symbolic or Mythic):
Figure Relation Notes
Manmatha (Kamadeva) Sometimes said to be their son (rare version) In most texts, Kamadeva is the son of Dharma and Shraddha, but some folk beliefs link him to Vishnu-Lakshmi.
Dharma (Personified) Occasionally associated as son of Vishnu In symbolic terms.
Narada Sometimes called “mind-born” son of Vishnu Not born from Lakshmi, and more metaphorical.
Bottom Line: No prominent stories in core Hindu texts say Vishnu and Lakshmi had biological children. Their energy is expressed through avatars (incarnations).
2. Children Through Avatars of Vishnu
While Vishnu and Lakshmi as deities don't have children, their avatars do.
Key Examples:
Avatar Consort Children
Rama (Vishnu’s 7th avatar) Sita (Lakshmi) Luv and Kush
Krishna (Vishnu’s 8th avatar) Rukmini (Lakshmi), others Many children, most notably Pradyumna (with Rukmini)
Interpretation:
So although Vishnu and Lakshmi don’t have children as divine beings, through their human incarnations they do have children.
3. Biological Analogy (If Vishnu & Lakshmi Were Human)
If you wanted to think in biological terms, assuming Vishnu and Lakshmi were human:
Vishnu (male) would contribute sperm, Lakshmi (female) would provide the egg and womb.
Any children would be biologically theirs.
But mythologically, they are eternal beings without a human reproductive narrative — they exist outside of human biological needs.
Symbolic Insight:
Vishnu and Lakshmi represent Preservation and Abundance.
Their "offspring" can be thought of as harmony, wealth, morality, or even avatars (like Rama and Krishna), who preserve dharma (cosmic law) on Earth.
Summary
Perspective Children of Vishnu & Lakshmi
Traditional mythology None directly
Through avatars Rama–Sita → Luv & Kush; Krishna–Rukmini → Pradyumna, others
Symbolic Their “children” are values like Dharma, Prosperity, etc.
Biological lens They would need both male and female contribution, but mythology doesn’t treat them as biologically reproductive beings

Great — let’s dive deeper into the symbolic meaning of Vishnu and Lakshmi's union, and then compare how other deities differ in myth vs. biology.
1. Symbolic Meaning of Vishnu–Lakshmi Union
In Hindu thought, deities often symbolize cosmic principles, not just divine personalities.
Vishnu = Preserver / Consciousness / Order
Maintains the universe.
Represents cosmic intelligence, harmony, stability.
Takes avatars to restore dharma (cosmic order).
Lakshmi = Abundance / Energy / Prosperity
Embodies Shakti (divine feminine power).
Represents wealth, beauty, grace, and well-being.
Brings life, joy, and fertility — both material and spiritual.
Together: Consciousness + Energy
Their union isn't sexual in the human sense — it's metaphysical:
Vishnu (Purusha) Lakshmi (Prakriti) Meaning
Stillness Activity Creation & Balance
Awareness Expression Life with purpose
Order Growth Sustained universe
Just like a seed (Vishnu) needs soil and nourishment (Lakshmi) to grow into a tree, consciousness needs energy to manifest life.
2. Comparison: Vishnu–Lakshmi vs. Other Divine Pairs
Divine Pair Symbolic Role Mythological Children Biological Analogy
Shiva–Parvati Destruction & Rebirth / Transformation Ganesha, Kartikeya More biologically "parent-like" — myths of conception, surrogacy
Brahma–Saraswati Creation & Wisdom Very few stories of children Brahma creates beings from thought — symbolic of the mind creating reality
Vishnu–Lakshmi Preservation & Abundance No direct children, but avatars have children Symbolic of sustaining life, balance, order rather than reproduction
In biology:
Shiva–Parvati: Closer to natural reproduction, although with mythic twists (e.g. Ganesha created without a father, Kartikeya born via surrogates).
Vishnu–Lakshmi: Think of them as DNA and environment — one codes the plan, the other nurtures it.
3. Children as Symbols, Not People
Many times, when deities are said to have "children", they represent values or principles, not literal people.
“Child” Parent Deity Symbolizes
Dharma (righteousness) Vishnu The law of the cosmos
Kamadeva (desire) Sometimes Vishnu or Shiva Creative life force
Luv–Kush Rama & Sita (Vishnu–Lakshmi avatars) The next generation of dharma warriors
Final Thought:
Hindu cosmology doesn't always care about biological logic — it's more about symbolic truth.
The union of divine masculine and feminine isn't about making babies — it's about sustaining life, order, and meaning in the universe.

Children of other religions dieties
ChatGPT said:
Great question — looking at the children of deities across various religions gives deep insight into how different cultures interpret divinity, reproduction, and symbolism. Let's explore a few major world religions and their divine families, focusing on known "children of gods" in mythology and theology.
1. Hinduism
(Huge diversity of divine families)
Deities and Their Children:
Deity/Pair Children Notes
Shiva–Parvati Ganesha, Kartikeya Most well-known divine family
Vishnu–Lakshmi No direct children (avatars like Rama/Krishna have children) Children through incarnations
Brahma–Saraswati Not commonly associated with children Brahma creates beings through thought
Krishna–Rukmini Pradyumna, others Krishna had many children
Rama–Sita Luv & Kush Symbolic of dharma lineage
In Hinduism, divine children often represent values, cosmic principles, or the continuation of dharma.
2. Christianity
God and Children:
Deity "Child" Notes
God (Father) Jesus (Son of God) Core belief of Christianity
Mary (not a deity) Jesus Virgin birth; no sexual conception
Holy Spirit Part of Trinity Not “offspring” but co-equal divine
Jesus is seen as the only begotten Son of God — not in a biological sense but spiritual.
Christians are also called "children of God" symbolically.
Jesus’ divine sonship is unique, meant to signify God's presence on Earth, not reproductive lineage.
3. Islam
God (Allah) and Offspring:
Islam strictly rejects the idea that God has children.
"He begets not, nor is He begotten." (Surah Al-Ikhlas 112:3)
The concept of divine offspring is considered shirk (associating partners with God), which is the gravest sin in Islam.
Prophets (e.g., Muhammad, Jesus, Moses) are servants and messengers, not sons of God.
4. Greek Mythology
Greek gods are famously anthropomorphic — they have sex, love affairs, and many children.
Major Divine Offspring:
Deity Children Notes
Zeus Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Dionysus, Hercules, etc. Many gods and heroes as children
Hera Ares (god of war), Hephaestus Legitimate wife of Zeus
Aphrodite Eros (Cupid), Harmonia Goddess of love and beauty
Children of gods often become gods or demigods.
Greek mythology blends divine and human bloodlines.
5. Roman Mythology
Closely mirrors Greek mythology.
Roman Name Greek Equivalent Children
Jupiter Zeus Many gods and demigods
Juno Hera Ares (Mars), Hephaestus (Vulcan)
Venus Aphrodite Cupid (Eros)
6. Egyptian Mythology
The gods often form divine families, and children often inherit cosmic roles.
Deity Pair Children Notes
Geb (Earth) – Nut (Sky) Osiris, Isis, Set, Nephthys Central divine family
Isis–Osiris Horus God of kingship, sky, war
Horus (son of Isis and Osiris) is often seen as a symbol of rebirth and divine kingship.
7. Judaism
God (Yahweh) is a singular, indivisible being.
Judaism does not support the idea that God has children.
People (e.g., Israelites) are often referred to as “children of God”, but this is figurative, not literal.
8. Other Traditions
Norse Mythology:
Deity Children Notes
Odin Thor, Baldr, Víðarr, etc. Gods of strength, light, vengeance
Loki (trickster god) Hel, Fenrir (wolf), Jörmungandr (world serpent) His children are powerful forces of chaos
Comparative Summary
Religion God(s) Have Children? Nature of Children
Hinduism Yes Often divine, symbolic, or through avatars
Christianity One Son (Jesus) Spiritual sonship, not biological
Islam No Concept is rejected
Greek/Roman Yes, many Gods and demigods, mythic lineage
Egyptian Yes Divine lineage continues cosmic order
Judaism No (literal) Symbolic "children of God" (people of Israel)
Norse Yes Children often embody cosmic forces
Final Insight:
The idea of gods having children reflects each culture’s views on:
The nature of divinity (personal vs. abstract)
Relationship between humans and the divine
Symbolism of lineage, creation, and power

Excellent — let’s explore:
Female Deities and Their Children
with a focus on both:
Mythological roles
Symbolic and psychological meanings
Section 1: Female Deities and Their Children in World Traditions
Hinduism: Powerful Goddesses as Mothers
Goddess Children Symbolism
Parvati Ganesha, Kartikeya Creation, motherhood, power of the feminine
Durga / Kali Symbolically mother of the universe Not literal children, but all beings come from her
Sita (Lakshmi avatar) Luv and Kush (with Rama) Ideal motherhood, loyalty
Radha No children Represents divine love; not a maternal archetype
Aditi (mother of gods) 12 Adityas (including Surya) Cosmic mother, infinite
Symbolic Meaning:
Parvati and Durga show both nurturing and fierce protective power — a divine feminine that creates and destroys.
Christianity: Mary (Mother of Jesus)
Role Child Symbolism
Virgin Mary Jesus Divine grace, purity, sacred motherhood
Mary represents spiritual motherhood, unconditional love, and the sacred feminine that bears the divine within.
Islam
No goddesses in Islam.
Revered women (like Maryam / Mary) are not deities, but exalted human figures.
Maryam is the only woman named in the Qur'an, and considered one of the greatest women, but not divine.
Greek Mythology: Goddesses with Children
Goddess Children Meaning
Hera Ares, Hephaestus, Hebe Motherhood, royalty, jealousy
Demeter Persephone Agriculture, cycles of death & rebirth
Aphrodite Eros (Cupid) Love giving birth to desire
Leto Apollo, Artemis (with Zeus) Protective mother goddess
Symbolic Angle:
Goddesses are archetypes of aspects of the feminine: fertility (Demeter), sensuality (Aphrodite), power (Hera), motherhood (Leto).
Egyptian Mythology
Goddess Child Symbolism
Isis Horus Divine motherhood, protection, magical resurrection
Nut (sky goddess) Osiris, Isis, Set, Nephthys Cosmic womb of the gods
Isis is the archetype of the divine mother, deeply influential even in later Christianity.
Judaism
No goddesses or divine mothers.
But matriarchs like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah are honored as spiritual mothers of Israel.
Buddhism (Mahayana/Tibetan)
Some female figures like Tara (a bodhisattva) are seen as compassionate mothers to all beings.
No children, but she guides and protects.
Section 2: Psychological & Symbolic Meaning of Divine Motherhood
From a Jungian / archetypal psychology perspective:
Mother Archetype Symbolizes
The Nurturer (e.g., Mary, Parvati) Love, safety, emotional grounding
The Protector (e.g., Durga, Isis) Inner strength, protection of values
The Destroyer-Mother (e.g., Kali) Transformation, ego death, spiritual awakening
The Cosmic Womb (e.g., Nut, Aditi) Source of all creation, mystery of life
Why do cultures have divine mothers?
To personify creation, nurture, and safety.
To explain how life emerges and how death is part of rebirth.
To balance masculine divinity (will, law, control) with feminine energy (flow, care, nature).
Final Thought:
Across cultures, female deities with children represent the full range of feminine power:
Gentle and fierce
Fertile and destructive
Cosmic and personal
The divine mother is not just a symbol of motherhood, but of inner transformation — birthing something new within the soul.
