We focus our thoughts on Ganesha, the lord with one tusk. We meditate on Ganesha, the lord who has a curved trunk. May the one-tusked one guide us on the path toward spiritual light.
All traditional rituals begin by calling on Ganesha (also known as Ganapati), as he is the breaker of obstacles who helps you achieve success in your life.
Ganesha (Gah-nesh or Gah-neshuh) is usually pictured as a chubby boy with the head of an elephant. The story of Ganesha is explained in chapter .
Dedication
This book is gratefully dedicated to those who have seen Tantra for what it is, and not for that which it is not. Specifically, I would like to thank some of my most important teachers:
H. H. Sri Paramahamsa Mahendranath (Dadaji), 23rd Adiguru (chief guru) of the Adinath tradition, whose influence transcends anything he could have guessed before his great samadhi (physical death). His teachings will inspire Tantricsespecially Western Tantricsfor ages to come.
Sri Lokanath Maharaj (Michael Magee), who has been quietly sharing his knowledge and providing the true essence of Tantra while others make up fantasies or simply repeat nonsense they read elsewhere.
Dr. Jonn Mumford, a true Tantric, filled with joy, laughter, and the willingness to share his vast wisdom.
Sunyata Saraswati, an inspiring teacher of the entire mind, body, and spirit.
