Sixteen Names of Ganesha

Deivathin Kural
Voice of God Vol 6


 

Shri Ra. Ganapathi has painstakingly covered the discourses and conversations of the Sri Kanchi Paramacharya collected over several years. Each volume contains nearly 700 pages and has extensive, in-depth material on various aspects covering common responsibilities and traditions of the Indian society, culture, and the Hindu religion. Deivathin Kural is an excellent source material to answer questions on Hinduism with the authority of the Sri Kanchi Paramacharya.
