Find out why Ganesha has an elephant's head (his father cut his off!); why Kali, the goddess of time, is known as the "Black One" (she's a bit goth); and what "Hare Krishna" really means. <p/>"Throw another ingredient in the American spirituality blender. Pop culture is veering into Hinduism."--<i>USA Today</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Don't mess with Kali, cautions Patel on the opening page of this arresting, innovative, entertaining book. Who knew the Hindu pantheon could be so much fun? Patel, an animator at Pixar studios, breathes new life into old mythology, telling the exploits of various deities while drawing us in--literally--with his joyous and unexpected full-color illustrations. In the introduction, he notes that he has always been influenced by Japanese animation, and his renderings bear the mark of the wide-eyed, large-headed, simple style that he so admires. The book is awash in color, with vivid saffrons, purples, fuchsias and oranges adding a lushness to the tales he recounts... Both funny and informative, this is a fresh and breezy introduction to the Hindu gods.--<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>SANJAY PATEL is an animator and storyboard artist for Pixar Animation Studios, where he has worked on features that include <i>Monsters, Inc.</i>, <i>A Bugs Life</i>; <i>Toy Story 2</i>; and <i>The Incredibles</i>.
