The way I heard...That is indeed a beautiful Ganesh. The way I heard the story (and perhaps you can verify it) is that Ganesha's father, Shiva (?), went out hunting while his son was a baby at the time. Many years passed before he returned (with a great elephant head) and when he approached the cave where his wife and son lived, a young boy he did not recognize would not let him enter his own home. This infuriated him and he cut off the childs head only to have his wife heartbrakingly declare he had cut off his own sons head who was guarding the cave from intruders. He then used the elephants head to replace it so that his son could live! Viola! Let me know if thats correct. Kisses! xx <br />PadmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703430068857383182.post-10158785255409375172009-11-11T17:06:42.715-05:002009-11-11T17:06:42.715-05:00sei entrato in tutti i negozi di ganesh chiedendo ...sei entrato in tutti i negozi di ganesh chiedendo il prezzo di ciascuno prima di acquistarlo?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703430068857383182.post-56384773644179203952009-11-08T23:09:19.073-05:002009-11-08T23:09:19.073-05:00I'd love to... one day I'll take a sabbati...I'd love to... one day I'll take a sabbatical year and I'll do exactly what you suggest...<br /><br />:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14239099267023008870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703430068857383182.post-49169938221957152462009-11-05T14:18:19.125-05:002009-11-05T14:18:19.125-05:00Lordy!

(I am continually amazed how you have gotten into the depths of the cultural/religious nature of the country! I have an assignment for you, which is perfect for you, given your lovely writing style, keen observervation, patience and understanding of all that is different and above all, curiousity - write a travelogue with your inimitable sketches to illustrate it. <br /><br />Your Ganesh is very beautiful and may he indeed remove any obstacles in your year ahead.Aratinoreply@blogger.com
