with Sri Ganesh

- 17-08-13:

... There came another good rain in the night...

Simple yet elaborate Is your leader’s attire Today, Sri Ganesh, An expression Of precise knowledge And happy victory –

The sense that every single step Has been taken And nothing left untended And unoffered –

And this gives certainty And peace...

Aum

... The air is much warmer today and the sunrays are much stronger... Rs. 20/- are offered... ... Two men come in asking whether this is the site of a jeeva- samadhi... This has happened a number of times; there seems to be a story about a siddhar having lived here or been buried here, I do not now recall what was told me earlier... This time, as these men go on insisting, I just play dumb, as I often do: it is a very effective deterrent...!

Gallant and Beautiful And a little jaunty Like a Bridegroom You appear on the ways, Sri Ganesh –

But where is your Bride...?

This is part of your Festive Mystery That, at all times
