In the game of cricket, having scored 99 runs, when a batsman stands poised on the threshold of that much coveted century, he experiences the moment that is best associated with Ganesha. Fear and uncertainty envelope him; between him and his achievement stand hurdles, both real and imaginary: a possible spin from the bowler can overwhelm him, his own anxiety can paralyze him, cheering fans can distract him. He needs divine intervention then. He needs to focus, get rid of all hurdles, perform, get the final run, and achieve what he so longs for. In other words, he needs to think of Ganapati. This book brings together 99 meditations to better understand the stories, symbols and rituals of that adorable elephantheaded Hindu god who removes hurdles and brings prosperity and peace. Known variously as Ganapati, Gajanana, Vinayaka or Pillayar, he can help all of us score a century in the game called life.

Ganesha is the first son of Shiva and Parvati. He is the Lord of the Multitudes. He is the door-keeper; he holds the key to the inner sanctum of the heart, where the Divine Mother resides. He is the first to be worshipped so that the endeavors we embark upon are free of obstacles. The Ganesha Puja presents a philosophy that we can practice. It is a great place to start learning puja, and a wonderful doorway into meditation and worship. In addition, at the end of the book, Swamiji has included an article addressing the 36 principles of Tantra philosophy and how they relate to Yoga, Karma, and ultimately how to retrace our steps from the manifest back to the unmanifest. It is true that without Wisdom, it is impossible for any seeker to unlock the doors to the secret of Enlightenment. Ganesha Puja is presented with original Sanskrit mantras, Roman transliteration, and a complete English translation.

This book offers a translation of the seven thousand verses of the second book of the medieval Hindu text, the Ganesa Purana, one of two Puranas dedicated to the important elephant-headed god. In this book the reader is given many narratives about Ganesas ascent to earth in order to kill demonic figures who threaten to overthrow the correct world order. In addition, these narratives contain myths about Ganesa's birth and family as well as some extended and quite humorous myths about ideal devotees of the god.The translation is preceded by a long introduction offering a geographical and historical context for the GanesaPurana. Following the translation are very extensive notes which bring our points of philological interest, but focus mainly on the literary structure of the text and the methods used to present the many myths and narratives in a coherent and fully integrated manner.
