Saluting and invoking Sri Ganesh

* 4-14

Sri Ganesh, Leader of the Troops,

Splendid and opulent is your robe, Of luminous gold is your crown, Nourishing and generous is your stance – For it is not Through authority and power That you lead, But through The radiance and density Of your knowledge Which alone can unlock And unveil A wealth of beauty For all And clear the way To plenitude -

That is why Before you, In the midst of all Offerings Is the fruit Of Love divine… (16-12-10)

* 4-15

Sri Ganesh, whenever You assume the function and status Of a King, You do so with such Amplitude and depth Of countenance That all kings, human or godly, Must learn from you – For you stand free, A channel For everyone’s prosperity In the kingdom of harmony:
