Preface

I had planned two books on Shri Ganesh: one in English, the other in Hindi; and was working on them when I got an assignment from Amitji of DPB, Delhi. He changed my planning a lot and I had to leave out many interesting tales; different views and hidden meanings of the deeds and words of Shri Ganesh who is worshipped first and in Sanatan Manava Dharma, Eternal Human Religion; everything starts with Shri Ganeshaya Namah!
