with Sri Ganesh

- 07-07-08:

… I can’t help being a little self-conscious when someone like Krishnaraj is there, who knows and is fluent about Lord Ganesha and can string out dozens of slokas effortlessly and with full understanding and habit of experience… Who am I to even dare address Sri Ganesh? How can I even dare to sing to him? But somehow, the fact that this experience and this relationship were given to me, almost forced upon me, without my ever having had the least ambition or desire for it, helps me to feel secure in it, regardless of what anyone may think…

Sri Ganesh, You are dancing and whirling,

Profusion and bounty Are held and flowing…

Krishnaraj always exclaims how much at peace he finds himself here and how it is simply heaven…

Wherever one is, Whenever one is, There is A straight path Like an arrow Direct to the Lord –

But to become The Lord’s arrow Wherever and whenever One is requires Transformation… O Sri Ganesh, You are so beautiful With your simple opulence, Your unerring nobility, Sowing and blossoming The nectar…

Aum
