Vighna Vinayaka- Remover of Obstacles

Small in size, easy to take anywhere, this is a pretty book. Plenty of pictures of Ganesha. The mythology and stories presented are interesting. This Western author has researched the traditional 32 forms and sacred symbols associated with this 'Indian' God. But the best part of the book is the Ganesha mantra transliteration from Sanskrit, which is helpful for devotees who do not have knowledge of Sanskrit. The purpose of each mantram is given in English, with a pronunciation and spelling note at the end of the book. The place the book is manufactured is not auspicious. This may bring negative energy to the practice. Devotees who want a Ganesha statue may want to obtain it from elsewhere.

Better yet

This marvellous package of a book and statuette of the Hindu god Ganesha - Remover of Obstacles (the elephant god), is better yet than the Buddha Box that Manuela Dunn Mascetti published a couple of years ago. Stand the elephant god on your desk and all obstacles to progress will vanish!! Wonderful and ingenious.
