Ganesh - Removing the Obstacles

This brief, beautifully illustrated book pays homage to one of Hinduism's most beloved and helpful deities. Author James Bae describes the captivating stories of how Ganesh came to acquire an elephant's head, why he is wearing a serpentine belt, and how he handled the friendly sibling contest between him and his brother Skanda. Bae persuasively discusses Ganesh as "remover of obstacles" and loving force for helping contemporary seekers confront challenges within themselves. Exquisite artwork appears throughout this diminutive, charming book.
