Guest guest Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 Namaste Denderah Luxor, Welcome to the club, I would reccomend getting the book Loving Ganesha By Satguru Sivaya Subramuniya Swami Himalayan Academy Publications. This is a large book with Puja,Prayers,Mantra and Ganesha Lore, you can order this this at any large book store or thru http://www.HinduismToday.kauai.hi.us/ashram Another very good puja book is Ganesa Puja Vidhi by Central Chinmaya Mission Trust I ordered this book thru Nataraja Books e-mail address natraja website www.erols.com/nataraja In the mean time you can get a picture or icon of Sri Ganesha place a lighted candle, incense and a flower before it and offer a prayer from you heart, 2 mantras that are used in His worship are Om Sri Ganesaya Namah and Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha This should get you started. May the Remover of Obstacles guide and protect you Jai Sri Ganesha !!! Lambodara Das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVING GANESA helped me in a few ways: 1)it was an excellent source of information. Probably more information on Ganesh than I have ever encountered in one place, save perhaps Robert Brown's book GANESH: STUDIES OF AN ASIAN GOD. 2)LOVING GANESA approaches teaching in a way that also carries the spirit of what is being taught. It is not just mere information. It has the devotional strength to it that can really assist a seeker. I especially love an almost childlike feeling I get when I read those pages. Another book that helped me learn alot about Ganesh, was not even a text or a religious book. ONCE UPON AN ELEPHANT, a play by Canadian writer Ashok Mathur, really helped me feel more connected to Ganesh. Once again, enjoy the book, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
