Kartikeya goes around the world thrice while Ganesha was sitting with his parents playing with a rat. Ganesha went around the parents and declared himself winner. Ganesha's feeling for his parents are just great. I liked his idea of considering his parents as his world and won. The entire video of Ganesh'a secret was interesting and unique compared to the other Gods.

Narayan is a God as well. He was a sleeping god and when God sleeps the entire world is still. I found that interesting that he sleeps on the ocean of milk. In addition to that, he sleeps on a serpent named Sesha and she is still. When Narayan awakens, it time to celebrate and angles presents flowers.  On his feet is lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth. She is GO-Mata(the cosmic cow) hold the whole world within her. Narayan is her cowherd. When he is awake called Gopala, the keeper of the cow. At time Vishu transforms into human to set things right. Hanuman is a trouble maker. When the world awakens the trouble also awakens. Brahma starts organizing the world when the world starts. The found the entire secret of Narayan interesting and especially his sleeping concept.
