Summary: A Bible for Ganapatyans
Review: If Ganesh has found you (as he found me) this is the book for you. All the info that you are seeking is delightfully compiled by this very insightful edition. From ancient mythology to puja to the Milk Miracle, if you're seeking the Remover of Obstacles, relax, you've found it in this book. It is hard to imagine a better, more comprehensive book on the Beautiful One than this one. Thank you Subramuniyaswami.

Summary: A must read for a Hindu !
Review: This is one of the works that i would recommend to any serious beginner in Hindu spiritual culture. It is also good for pratitioners. The book presents Ganapathy worship, in a typical south indian style, especially people of Tamil origin. As one of the temple priest described, it is the heart of practises recommended to devotees of Lord Vigneswara. Written by a sage, saint, swami satguru is a sivachariar. Although an advaiti, he puts down and incorporates all ritualistic practises in theistic way for everyday use. The book has puja methods and also mantras for japa for every day use. There are other things that could be added in this book, i think swamiji has consciously left a scope for expanding the present book. The book also a has a list of important vinayagar temples across the world.

The book is a must for every ganapathy and saiva agama practionner.

Summary: A wealthy source of Ganesa information!
Review: To most non-Hindus, this elephant faced God can be quite perplexing. This is THE source to learn the history, the lore, chants, offering, and so much more regarding the Hindu deity, Ganesha. Hindus will find a better love and understand of this ancient God. Also included in the back, a section for those wishing to convert as well as Vegetarian info. The book is literally PACKED with topics. A must read for Hindus and Hindu seekers!
