This accessible collection of ancient India`s most insightful tales and myths celebrates well known stories and others that are small, unnoticed gems, not readily known to Western readers. These stories of Vishnu, Brahma, Ganesha and the other gods of India, as well as humans struggling with life`s problems, encapsulate some of life`s essential truths. The collection contains adaptations from the Mahabharata, Ramayana, Puranas, and Vedas. Acclaimed writer Kamla K. Kapur brings her poet`s eye and ear to the retelling of these stories, recreating and dramatizing them to illuminate their relevance to modern times. An Indo-American poet and writer, Kamla K. Kapur is the author of two critically acclaimed books of poetry, As a Fountain in a Garden and Radha Sings. She divides her time between living in a remote area of the Himalayas and San Diego. "Kapur recasts ancient tales with a delightful modern sensibility. This book is a charming introduction to the gold mine of yogic lore many students have yet to explore." - Linda Johnsen, Yoga + Joyful Living "Kapur`s singular ability breathes new and profound life into these mystical, mythic tales." - Hindustan Times "Ganesha goes to Lunch offers a code for living that can be applied to the modern world. These stories reveal timeless insights into the human condition." - The Times of India
