Lord Ganesha has been worshiped and adored since the beginning of time for
his protection, benevolence and compassion. This book looks at all the
manifestations of Lord Ganesha.
Learn about Ganeshas powers, pastimes, mantras, nature, science, forms, sacred symbols, milk-drinking miracle and more. There is no book about this beloved elephant-faced God that is more complete. The Lord of Dharma comes to life through the pages of this inspired masterpiece. Loving Ganesa makes approaching Ganesa easy and inspiring. A copy of Loving Ganesa should be placed in every library and Hindu home (Sri Om Prakash Sharma).
Editorial Reviews:
This celebration in print of an ancient Hindu tradition of great wisdom and potency is, as its cover copy says, primarily "an illustrated resource" of Ganesa materials suitable for the conduct of daily worship and study. The inclusion of crossword puzzles and two chapters on vegetarianism and ayurveda make for a collapse of focus in an erratic and uneven collection of priestly essays, testimonials, Ganesa lore, hymns and Sunday school-type handouts. Fascinating and endlessly intriguing as it may be, the book would have benefited from a less global goal. Nevertheless, as one of few available in its field, it is an important text for English-speaking readers and should remain as an all-you-wanted-to-know-but-were-afraid-to-ask book about Ganesa, the divine and much-loved remover of obstacles.

"The elephant-headed god Gan es'a, widely worshiped by
Hindus, is all but unknown in the Judeo-Christian West. Gan es'a is the great
gatekeeper--the opener of doors to knowledge and bliss and the remover of
obstacles to happiness and prosperity. This work, written by a well-known guru
and writer of devotional books, is a worshiper's manual, stressing true belief
rather than philosophical interpretation. It discusses what devotees need to
know: iconography and symbols; mantras, prayers and rituals." - Library Journal
