About The Book

Lord Ganesh is perhaps the most complex deity among the Hindu Gods. He is Mangalmoorti (auspicious visaged) and Vighneshwar (Lord of troubles) simultaneously. He grants boons and creates hurdles. He ap- pears to be the heaviest among all the Gods but has a tiny mouse as his favourite vehicle. Some scholars consider him to be the most 'efficacious' Gods who readily fulfils desires of his devotees while others doubt even regard him to be the original Aryan God but an 'accepted one' from the pantheon of the aboriginal tribes dwelling in India before the Aryan advent. Whether Ganesh is just a coglomeration of various symbols to create an ideally auspicious form or the result of the clash of the two alien cultures trying to forge a unity between two incompatible concepts? All these questions have been dealt with in this small volume which also has the text and translations of famous hymns orisons etc. dedicated to Lord Ganesh in Nagari and Roman scripts.

Introduction

Lord Ganesh is perhaps the most complex deity among the Hindu Gods. He is Mangalmoorti (auspicious visaged) and Vighneshwar (Lord of trouble) simultaneously. He grants boons and creates hurdles. He appears to be the heaviest among all the Gods but has a tiny mouse as his favourite vehicle ! Some scholars call him one of the most 'efficacious' Gods who readily grants desires of his devotees. While others do not even consider him to be the original Aryan God but an 'accepted one' from the pantheon of the aboriginal tribes dwelling in India before the Aryan advent. Whether Ganesh is just a conglomeration of various symbols to create an ideally auspicious form or the result of the clash of two alien cultures trying to forge a unity between two incompatible concepts ? All these queries have been dealt with in a logical manner in this small volume.
