Saluting and invoking Sri Ganesh

Who is the Seer And the Poet of Knowledge, Helpful and Auspicious Yet Unseizeable – Your cheering minstrelsies Are sung and danced with Great dignity And your sun-filled stole, Your pearly braid, your scepter, Your noose and golden goad, All your tools and instruments Are poised Within an ambit Of deepest peace – And thus is your appearance, Sri Ganesh, Always an event, A feast And A teaching… (21-06-11) Sri Ganesh, Glowing at the Inner Source, Calmly poised in the Dusk Of the Cave, You await, With the gifts of nectar Strewn about you, Ever ready with your mount, And the rope of white light To hold the soul secure For the transition – It is all so finely wrought And offered About and around Your figure, That one grasps The meaning of truer seeing, Beyond the illusion * 3-50
