Yes, these are all there just to advocate the Upanishad parama siddhAnta that ekaM sat viprA bahudA vadaNti.  Some time vishNu protected shiva and some times shiva stretching his helping hands to vishNu 😊 though we say shivaaya vishNu rUpAya, shiva rUpAya vishNave 😊 and there is absolutely no difference between hari-hara.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
bhaskar

Thank you, This is new information. It is in consonance with the advaita philosophy which says that all forms are of one Reality. Vibhuti yoga lists some prominent forms but essentially all forms are appearances in the Supreme Reality.

The Brahmavaivrta Purana says it was Sri Krishna himself who incarnated as Ganesha. There are mentions in skanda and devi purana too of Ganapathi being an incarnation of Narayana.


>     In shyamantakOpAkhyAna Krishna gets into somany controversies due to ‘chauti Chandra darshana’ it is due to Ganesha’s  curse to Chandra.  So Krishna incarnated as Ganesha cursed Chandra and Krishna himself affected by the curse 😊  Sometimes these puranic allegories are more complex than what they appear!!
