Description

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.
