Kashi’s Fifty-Six Vinayakas and King Divodas

I take immense pride in being born on this Earth, especially in the city of Mahadev, the sacred Kashi. With Mahadev's grace, I have never felt a lack of anything in life. As I approached the age of fifty, a desire awakened within me to re-establish the values of our eternal religion towards Kashi, and with this sentiment, I laid the foundation of the Vishwa Vedic Sanatan Trust.

I also decided to undertake a legal struggle to return the Gyanvapi Mosque, which was originally the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, back to the Hindus. Meanwhile, I engaged in discussions with some scholars about Kashi, during which I learned about the 56 Vinayaks of Kashi, which are an important part of Kashi's mythological history. This led me to commence an in-depth research on the subject.

Driven by curiosity to learn more about the prestige of these 56 Vinayaks, I discovered that most of these Vinayak statues have been damaged, some have been relocated, and some are now untraceable.

This distressing state deeply saddened me, and I resolved to re-establish them.

most of the damaged and destroyed Vinayaks, I thought of commissioning paintings of all 56 Vinayaks by an artist connected with the Sanatan Dharma.

After completing all these tasks, I am moving forward to rejuvenate this wonderful mythology.

I humbly dedicate this book to the followers and lovers of Sanatan Dharma worldwide.
