New job, new city, new love? "Ganesha: Remover of Obstacles" makes an exquisite gift for anyone on the brink of change.

The book, which slides into the box to make an elegant backdrop for the statue of the loving elephant god, is filled with tales of Ganesha's creation and powers as a protector. Illustrated with thirty serene color images, the book also includes examples of mantras, prayers, sacred symbols, and songs for all manner of Karmic tangles, as well as instructions on how to create a home or office "puja" for making offerings to the benevolent god. A handsome mini-shrine for prayer and meditation practices and an ideal travel companion, "Ganesha: Remover of Obstacles" will enchant anyone interested in Indian mythology or Hindu religion.
