And so I had to ask again: why can’t there be a living, effective, functioning connection between Sri Ganesh and the Supramental Action in the world?

Sri Ganesh, Your Kindness is Gold Illumined, Deep and soothing And warm and merciful, Your kindness is knowing - Within its golden light One shelters

And is repaired – Your Kindness is Illumined Knowing, A welcoming cloister Filled with Her And in its peace She may act Infallibly – Ishwara and Ishwari Are blessing
