Bermuda Grass, also known as Cynodon Dactylon (Durva Grass) is just known as lawn grass to a lot of people. Not many of the people are aware of the health benefits that this herb possesses. This is a grass that is associated with Lord Ganesha.
Legend has it that there was a demon by the name Analasura whose name means a Fire Breathing Orge. Analasura created chaos in the world of Devas. Unable to bear his torments, the Devas sought help from the Elephant God – Lord Ganesha.
During the fight, Ganesha got so angry that he swallowed Analasura. Since he was the Fire-breathing Orge, he created a burning sensation inside Ganesha. Lord Ganesha faced an unbearable pain because of this. To relieve him of this burning sensation, Sage Kashyapa gave him the juice of Bermuda grass, which cured the burning sensation.
Since then on, Lord Ganesha has been firmly attributed with this grass.
