Lord  Ganesh Park in  Ireland...

This is the image of sculptures located in Ganesh park in Ireland. It is spread over 22 acres. There are 9 Ganesh idols in the Park. The sculptures range in size from 5ft 6ins to 9ft and weigh between 2 and 5 tonnes. Shipping statues from India to Ireland weighing a few tons each, does not come cheap.Victor was born of German Jewish parents in Berlin in 1940.

By the age of 14, he had decided to go to India, keen to become a sadhu and spend his life in the pursuit of enlightenment. Before he had reached 25, Victor was in India. Thereafter, he spent the next 25 years as a wandering monk in India, learning about Hinduism, Buddhism, Yoga, studying the Vedas and Upanishad. He spent some time at the Arobindo Ashram in Pondicherry. He travelled widely through India, spending time at various ashrams, under the tutelage of many gurus. He also travelled to the Far East. During his long stay in India, not only did he came to love the country, but his own devotion to Sri Ganesh, arguably the most beloved of the gods, grew. That gave him the idea of starting a Ganesh Park in Ireland.
