India Authentic 1 (2007)

by Saurav Mohapatra For generations, all enterprises in India have been launched with an invocation of His name. He is called the Vinayak – God of Endeavors, Vighneshwar – the Remover of Obstacles. Perhaps the most adored of all in the Indian Pantheon, Ganesha is the God that best represents India – benevolent, wise and noble. Come with us on a journey to witness the origins of a God, a timeless tale of an inanimate golem crafted from primordial clay by Uma, the all-mother. His innocent bravado in defying Shiva, the mightiest of the Gods and even giving up his life to uphold a simple promise he made to his mother, the twist of fate that intertwines his destiny with another and the ‘rebirth’ of the two as they become one.
