Pages: 358 (51 B&W Illustrations)From Back of the Book This book displays state of the art scholarship on the mythology literature iconography and practice surrounding Ganesa. No single scholar could take on the range of traditions texts languages and practices that are represented here. It is a case of strength through diversities of scholarly in original sources. Paub B. Court right Emory University I liked the wide-range of information presented about Ganesa from a variety of Asian countries. The depth of detail it makes available the transitions of texts otherwise not available the data on actual rituals and the data it gives on Tantrism.

Biography of Gaòneâsa Påaina, b. 1937, eminent Indian painter; includes reproductions of some paintings.

This book examines the complete Ganesh for the first time. Here is the God in his multiple forms from the different geographical areas in Asia. Particularly important are chapters that deal with his Buddhist and Tantric forms. The controversial question of his origins is also thoroughly discussed.

A familiar, well-loved figure in the art and religion of Asia, the elephant-headed Ganesh is universally revered as the god of auspicious beginnings. Despite his popularity, the jolly, pot-bellied deity has received far less attention in literature than he deserves. This present authoritatively researched volume attempts to collate existing reference material on the subject, as also offer valuable original insights into various aspects of Ganesh. The diversity of the benevolent god's representations is amply illustrated in the survey of the British Museum collection in London. An article on the Hindu Ganesh discusses his importance in Maharashtra where the annual festival is observed with fervor. Subsequent essays examine the iconography of the dancing Ganesh and the deity's place in Tantric literature, and in the Buddhist and Jain traditions. Travelling with Buddhism to Southeast and East Asia where he developed distinctly local characteristics, Ganesh is today especially favored in Thailand, Indonesia, and Cambodia. In a more personal vein, an avid collector writes of his passion for Ganesh. Although his career began as a humber leader of Shiva's hosts, Ganesh subsequently emerged as a supreme deity and, simply, a god who removes obstacles and grants success. And despite his strange appearance, he has inspired countless artists over the centuries to create his form with sensitivity and a touch of whimsy.
