SRI GANESHA
Revised Third Edition
Know the profound facts and let others know them.
As the fragrant petals of knowledge unfold themselves, the book takes the reader to a world of profound insight which is at once scientific and spiritual. The significance of the unique form of Sri Ganesha and the legends are explained through a lucid presentation integrating the spiritual insights and the rational perspective. The book powerfully and logically exposes the irrationality of the âFreudian interpretationâ of the Ganesha concept by Prof. Paul Courtright, Emory University, USA, and by promoting the right concepts counters such deceptive efforts to denigrate a profound culture of universal value.
The Book Reveals the Deepest Significance of the Divine Form of Sri Ganesha.
