The Book of Ganesha
Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, is easily the most recognizable and lovable of Hindu deities. But pinpointing his various attributes is not always simple. He is at once the plump, pot-bellied god and the sage, philosopher of wealth, and the presiding deity of material success. He removes all impediments for his devotees but creates all manner of difficulties for transgressors, men or gods. And associated with each aspect of Ganesha—his extraordinary birth, his elephant head, his broken tusk, his vehicle (the mouse), his appetite or his anger—are scores of colourful myths.
In this thoroughly researched and delightfully narrated book, Royina Grewal explores the many stories of Ganesha, tracing their significance and how they reflect the cultures in which they originated.
