Saluting and invoking Sri Ganesh

Today, Sri Ganesh, You are riding your mount, Silent in the silence of the forest, Soberly yet richly attired By the power of your knowledge, A quiet and sure Emissary Of the Shakti Holding in trust the significant attributes And faculties For Her work of progressive creation In Matter – You, of the most ancient lineage, Intimate with the sacred gold

Of earth’s purity – Silently you move Across Her forest

And your silent figure thrills With profound sweetness... Aum. (14-11-09)

Sri Ganesh, You are the Bard Of the Secret Mother And the strains of your songs Mingle with the herbs and flowers, A quiet celebration Of Her conscious multitude Of potencies in Matter Awaiting The Lord’s coming – Your songs, from within Her domains, Seem to remember A future of plenitude, With every being anchored at last

In delight… (05-11-09)
