This is my first book by Devdutt Pattanaik and I couldn't agree more that he stands as a fantastic weaver of Indian mythology. Ganesha's Secret is a brief account of the mythology behind Lord Ganesha who represents abundance mindset. Several theories behind his birth are put forth lucidly. The book deals with the lesser-known facts about Ganesha and the reasons behind him being called Vinayaka and Ganapati. How does Ganesha's presence relate to the knowledge and wealth are also described well. I loved each thing discussed here thoroughly. Right from Lord Shiva's act of beheading Ganesha to Ganesha trying his best to not let the Shiva Lingas be placed in Lanka, everything was mesmerizing. One should definitely read the author's work to get an idea behind the prominent notions regarding our mythology. What would intrigue you as a reader will be the narrative's uniqueness of content as well its sheer simplicity.

This book is a very well written account of Lord Ganesh and why he is so significant in Hinduism. The content is not verbose and to the point. The content is well rounded. All the illustrations in the book , taken from commonly found depictions, are really well placed and aid to the understanding.
All in all,a very good read for anyone interested in the subject.

Devdutt Pattnaik takes the stories from folklore and ancient Indian scriptures, gets to the bottom of the logical foundation on which they stand and provide you with learnings you can absorb in day to day life. This mini-book is power packed with wisdom.

Once again thanks to Devdutt for throwing light on wisdom of wealth by bringing the subject of Ganesha.
Explicitly showed the difference between wisdom of wealth and greed.
