Saluting and invoking Sri Ganesh

And, jus as a fearless hand Reaches out confidently and Unhesitatingly To pat and hold the dangerous snake Or the angry lion, Sri Ganesh, you don The string of obscure lies That have now surrendered, And in that event Is the release Of immense tenderness, A Smile Completing the Truth That was eternal… Ritam Satyam Brihat Hasyam… (19-19-10) Sri Ganesh, you seem to show Today The power of a deep truth = That, in order to unite With the richness Of Her Gifts One must first Have experienced The rising away from name and form * 3-41

Into the Absolute And thus mastered

All fear and all Attachment – In this way you teach also That liberation is but A step – Then only can one learn

To serve the Shakti Truly and freely... (26-10-10)
