Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, is easily the most recognizable and loveable of Hindu deities. But pinpointing his various attributes is not quite so simple. He is at once the portly, merry, childlike god and the sage, complex philosopher. He is the presiding deity of material wealth and the lord of spirituality. He removes all impediments for his devotees but creates all manner of difficulties for the transgressors, man or god. And associated with every aspect of Ganesha-be it his extraordinary birth, his elephant head, his broken tusk, his vehicle (the mouse), his appetite, his anger-are scores of myths, each more colourful than the other. In this thoroughly researched and delightfully narrated book, Royina Grewal gives us the many stories of Ganesha, exploring their significance and how they reflect the times and the cultures during which they originated.

Book excerpt: Lord Ganesha, the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati, depicted as an elephant-headed God riding on a mouse, is one of the most prominent deities of the Hindu religion. Lord Ganesha, as the name suggests, is the chief of the Ganas (attendants of Lord Shiva). His birth, his wisdom and his supreme power makes Lord Ganesha the most interesting and adorable God. Lord Ganesha represents the power of the Supreme Being that removes obstacles and ensures success in human endeavours, and chronicles as to why Hindus worship Lord Ganesha first, before beginning any religious, spiritual or worldly activity. Perhaps this is the reason why his birthday (Ganesh Chaturthi) is celebrated on a huge scale through India with great pomp and splendour.
